Fretless unlined neck availability

[megafiddle]

What is available to fit a Fender body?

I am looking for a fretless, unlined, maple/ebony neck.
Rosewood ok, also.

The Musicman stingray necks look nice. Would they fit a Fender body?
I don't see any available right now. Are they normally hard to find?

The neck for a Carvin SB bass fits perfectly. Feels great too!

Oh, and Warmoth necks are killer. Highly recommended

Allparts. Excellent quality and should be less money than Warmoth.

Ok, thanks.

I like the Fender P and J bodies, and they are also commonly available.
So I am looking for a neck that will just drop in.

Thanks for the info. Do those often show up for sale?

I am considering ordering a custom neck also. So thanks for the recommendations of Warmoth.

Thanks, I'll look at those too.

I saw necks with headstock blanks there; are there finished necks there too?

There is a little box to click on that allows you to configure it how you want it.

I depends on the Fender body. Warmoth, nor anyone else that I have found, makes a fretted or fretless neck that fits the current American Jazz Bass Deluxe five-bolt 21 fret.

Look at eBay, gotta be dozens for sale.

MightyMite makes exactly that for a hundred bucks new, if you don't mind fake ebony.

Look for a MIJ Fender Jazz Bass Special neck. They're maple w/ rosewood boards and are really comfortable and well made.

I just got one of the classifieds for my fretless project - the only catch is that they have black headstocks.

HA funny you should mention that one, I have the MightyMite I recommended on my #1 and a Jazz Bass Special neck on my #2. Really I slightly prefer the Jazz Bass Special neck but I didn't recommend it as they can be rather hard to find.

I like Warmoth necks & own one at the moment but I think the Allparts necks are closer to "actual" Fender specs ...... if that matters

USA Fender I should add.

Just put this together last night.......Warmoth is awesome!

I finally got the Carvin neck builder to work (which wasn't working for some reason)
and I think I like the 2 tuners per side headstocks better than the Fender 4 inline,
and I like the Carvin headstocks a little better than Warmoth's. Plus the Carvin
body with the rear control routing and two single coil pickup routing looks pretty
interesting.

Warmouth has a P type body that can be ordered with similar features also.

Will have to check out all the options more closely.
