I just wanted to provide some feedback on Manton Customs a builder in the UK...
I had a body lying around at home that came off a bass I bought just because I wanted the neck off it. It had some old EMGs in it with a Bartolini preamp, but I've always wanted a Jazz bass style bass with a couple of 60's style, vintage style Thunderbird pickups in it. The reality is, it should have been just a cheap, buy a neck, put it on, pay someone to route out the pickups and away you go, but it ended up being one of my favorite basses to play now.
I contacted Robin after seeing some of his work online and his YouTube channel
The whole order process from start to finish was fantastic, there was an order form, things were made clear, I chose all my options.
34" Scale, 20 Frets
Radius 12"
Birdseye Maple, Ebony Fretboard
Nut Width: 38mm
Binding: Vintage White
Reverse Headstock
The neck has the most amazing, in between Jazz/P-Bass feel, it's SILKY smooth, the action is low, and it is just effortless to play. The fretwork is some of the best fretwork, I have ever seen on a bass, perfectly polished and finished.
I supplied the pickups, Thunderbird Bass | Mojo Pickups - Thunderbird Bass | Mojo Pickups
These also fantastic, not cheap though.
If you are looking for any custom work done, I would highly recommend Robin, he's a fantastic guy.
