Just wondering what everyone's favorite neck is. I personally love the Fender Jazz necks. So easy to play. Also how important is a good neck to you. To me it is a MAJOR thing. It needs to feel good.

Favorite Neck?

it's a big thing for me...I address a bass on looks first (fickle I know, but if it's ugly I aon't bother getting it off the rack!) and then neck, before I even plug it in...if it doesn't feel good, the future ain't bright, to say the least...
Favourite neck though? Kubicki, very comfy and playable,

I really, really, really like the feel of the necks, and the tone ain't bad either...
I like necks that aren't glossy. Glossy = bad.
Fender necks are good for the most part. Surprisingly, my old Squier P-bass has the best neck i've ever played.

...now I couldn't get on with a Rickenbacker - the 4001's have got a GREAT sound 
, but I find them almost unplayable coz the neck is covered in paint/laquer and is a bit thick, the pickups are in the wrong place (and that bloody thing over the strings RIGHT WHERE I wanna start fingering... 
)
ahh...glad I got that out of my system!
They sound great but they aren't nice to play if you ask me
(come on...I'm a Fender guy...)

I find the jazz neck is great for quick movement all around. Verry good if you're into alot of quick fills
