Hi All, I’m looking for a CS ‘62 or ‘63 neck with rosewood board, preferably a P but a Jazz will work also. I know this is a long shot but if anyone knows of any available please let me know.
Cheers
Andy

Wow! That would have been perfect! Unfortunately it’s no longer available

You guys still giving out numbers? I’ll take one! Ups just dropped of this beauty. 2015 ‘59 P journeyman relic. Got to play it for like 5 minutes. Enough to tune to pitch and strum out a few blues bars, haven’t had a chance to hook it up to the SVT II NP yet because the kids are napping

. Wow! I’m in love. Think this thing might be a lifer for me and it doesn’t feel like it weighs 8.5lbs.

Congratulations on a sweet bass! I've always loved the MKW finishes on these and they sound so good.

On a side note, can anybody Tell me what kind of flats are on here? Purple silk at the winding. None at the bridge, haven’t had a chance to check the ball ends for color.

 

[Midak]

GHS Precision Flats fit the description. I don't know if there are others with the same appearance, though. Check here: Silk colors

Congratulations on that P!

I’ve seen a few articles/posts other places about applying lacquer to a tweed case and I’m intrigued. Since it would be an FCS case in my case, is this a horrible idea? Has anyone else done this?

Why? Were the original Fender cases lacquered?

 

[BassJuju]

Not that I am aware. It does add a layer of protection and makes them look a bit more aged. I think it was a bit tweed amp inspired than cases.

Congratulations old chap.

Very similar to mine, which is strung with Sadowsky flats, and sounds GREAT - especially with a pick.

Just put an order in for a spitfire tort guard because options.

I posted this question in the general forum basses section, but perhaps here is the more appropriate place to ask.
I’m considering a used custom shop 64 jazz bass that due to the pandemic I can’t try out before purchasing. It has what is called a ‘60 J-bass “U”’ neck.
Does anyone know how thick this might be front to back compared to other jazz basses? I find the modern American Professional and the American Vintage 64 necks comfortable, but the American Original 70s to be too thick for my preference. Thanks.

U shaped necks are on the chunky side. My CS 64 jazz has a C shape neck and it is the shallower profile that I suspect you prefer. Invalid Link Removed
