    "Licensed by Fender" is such a tricky claim. Are AllParts necks somewhat decent? Would one be an okay replacement for an MIA Fender neck?

    They sell various levels of quality, I think.
    Have you considered a CIJ neck?

    What bass is this going on?

    I owned a blocked and bound rosewood Allparts neck and I thought it was VERY nice! I sold it just because I really didn't have a bass to put it on.

    I owned a fretless jazz made with allparts parts, it had a flame maple neck with an ebony fboard and it was definately the most solid neck I have ever laid my spindly fingah's on.

    also I think the whole "Licensed by Fender" just means they are licensed to use the same headstock shape as fender.

    There are other replacement necks on the market such as warmoth and USACG. Do check them out.
