Kmise Neck?

[MYLOWFREQ]

Hi fellows, I'm wondering if anybody has any experience with these necks:

Gloss Yellow Maple Wood 21 Fret For J Bass 4 String Electric Guitar Neck Parts | eBay

I have a Fender MIM J body that needs a neck, but I don't want to spend $$$. Cheers.

Also, what does "400 radian" correspond to the Fender radius? Here are the specs:

For $75, I might gamble.

But ONLY after I'd searched the TalkBass Classifieds FIRST. There's comparably-priced MightyMite and Allparts and Squier necks that pop up there all the time.

400mm Radius.

Thanks for the replies. I see 400mm radius = approximately 16''. I'd rather check out something closer to 9.5''.

I believe the general consensus on these cheap Chinese aftermarket parts is that it's a crapshoot. Some good reports and some bad. And good luck trying to get your money back if it's a bad one. I've used Mighty Mites on a couple of builds and had nothing but good luck and quality products. Some will say those have problems as well but I'd trust my money to them before going this route. YMMV.

For a few extra bucks, I'd get a Mighty Mite neck any day.

For a cheapo mutt project it's worth a gamble, for your main player, think. Happy Thanksgiving.

I know this is a very old thread but in case someone is currently looking it still pops up so at least I thought I would add a current bit.. recently I did a complete build after getting a 54ish P body and stumbled on the Kmise necks almost by accident, Bassicaly the neck was only going to be a placeholder while I built a Warmoth Tele style neck as I wanted to try some different winery and ideas and pick ups I was absolutely amazed at the Quality of what I was sent the green looked fantastic the necklace treat as an arrow the threats were crowned and polished and though I had a plastic nut at almost felt like a graph tech, The neck was only $45 free overnight shipping thank you Amazon prime and the bass came out absolutely fantastic looks great the build itself came out fantastic as well and it's since become my number one player. Yes they are inexpensive but I would put this up to my American Standard Jazz's in terms of playability so it was more than a steal. It's easy to Bash something that you've never used and just caught m however thisi case y bought it used it kept it and really lreally it was a win-win for me hopefully is r you if you're looking for a quality not that it's an expensive unlike previous post Amazon has a great return policy so if you don't like it send it back and sorry about the typos at end, iPad started acting up

The end? It was all the way thru.
