Dilemma.........thoughts

I wouldn't butcher the sig instrument anyways.

I have built 3 P-Basses, all Warmoth and bestbass gear. They come in around $700 or so (I did the finishing and construction). Patiently look here in the classifieds and I bet you can find all the parts to build your dream P bass for well under that.

I'm still trying to figure out the "not really married" comment...

Wasn't there a set of serial killer brothers named Ramone and Mendel?

I just wet myself.

Thank you Kenneff.

Have you considered a Warmouth neck? They can customize nearly every parameter, and the quality is outstanding. I have a lined fretless Jazz neck from Warmouth I got years ago, it's exactly what I asked for in profile, finish, the works.

Why do so many people misspell this comany name to "warmouth"? Is it some sort of inside joke that I dont understand? Is it dyslexia? Is it a there, their they're type thing?

Does it make anyone else feel violent tendencies inside to see words misspelled or is that just me?

$500 for .01"? This is a troll thread, right?

Yea man, such violent tendencies that I want to start a 'comany' to prevent it...

$500 is too high for a mexican neck..... it's a nice neck i'm sure..... but, not for $500

Keep in mind, with the Canadian dollar what it is a new Dee Dee P retails for $1079 up here.

Stratosphere parts has an eBay store fwiw.

I know that because I just purchased a new bridge from them two weeks ago. But can't one also deal directly, sans eBay?

 

[stringthrough]

I can't stomach Stratosphere prices, and something about disassembling a brand new instrument and parting it out with a huge markup bothers me on a gut level. I get it, market capitalism, filling a niche, etc, but their pricing is ridiculous. You could probably buy a custom neck made to your exact specs for less than that. Send it back and re-think what need you are trying to fill.

I COMPLETELY disagree... I wanted an MIA Fender Dimension Deluxe 4 bass. They were streeting for $1,400 - $1,600. I waited for Stratosphere's frequent 10% off sales and bought the loaded body (electronics, hardware) and neck w/ tuners as two separate items. Total cost of the bass, just shy of $1,000. After I bolted the neck to the body and added strings there was absolutely no way anyone, even experts could tell it was a parts bass. That's one hell of a saving.

Disclosure: Neither I or any of my family or friends are in any way financially or personally affiliated with Stratosphere.

LOL...Comany? It's best to check your spelling when chastising others for misspelling.

"accidentally" buying something off Ebay is like "accidentally" driving drunk. The wreck that follows was entirely preventable.

 

[Bassa Nova]

A personal decision for sure, but for the difference between 1.6125 and 1.6250 at the nut, I would stick with the neck I have. However, I seem to recall from an earlier thread you might have had a truss rod issue with the Mendel, no?

Good luck!

You can either way. I just thought someone was questioning the mention of eBay with regard to stratosphere parts and thought it worth pointing out that you can simultaneously be buying from both.

 

[logicman69]

Send it back.

 

[MovingPitchers]

I sent it back. I'm saving up for an American standard

The bridge I bought a couple of weeks ago from Stratosphere was the lowest price anywhere. And I did a lot of searching. They shipped it quickly. I also bought some PG screws and they combined the shipping so I saved the $3 there.

I think it's mostly just you.

 

[Murdoc_420]

all this for 0.01" width? that's nut much difference.

 

[FrenchBassQC]

Sending it back would be a good thing to do. You can get something with the same specs as you're looking for much cheaper from the classified here or craigslist or kijiji.

D'OH!

Pardon me while I violently facepalm myself multiple times.
