Squier TB bass neck!

[DudeWheresMy182]

anyone else here just find these necks to be reallyyyyyyyy sweet? i think ive found my favorite neck, and on a squier nontheless!

I really want to find just the neck, id like to put in on my Hoppus. I really wanna trick this Hoppus out. Its white w/ blk pg. Id really wanna put on the Squier neck (i just love the way it feels fer sure, and the tele headstock is sweet) and would want to add a J pup at the bridge, and throw on a pickup cover and try to get a BA3 or the new fender HMV bridge.

My computer is lame and automatically clicked it for some reason.
but i was gunna say does anyone know where to find a neck? i keep looking on TB, CL and Ebay but havent seen anything.
i keep seeing other squier necks besides the one on the tele bass, does everyone just love them too or something? haha

Yep i got a Tele Bass at my locally shop used. 150$ woo woo. Loved the neck its just perfect , but i sold the bass for 200$ a month or so later just because the tone was lame.

They are incredible necks.

I love the neck on my '51 Classic Vibe P, only wish it wasn't quite so glossy esp on the fingerboard.

I want to put a Fralin split in it, then it'll have the tone to match the build quality.

 

[DudeWheresMy182]

yeah im trying to find either a neck from a CV P, or the VM TB bass. itd be pretty sweet to have a maple neck on the Hoppus. im actually workin on a mock up (on paint, boo) of how itd all look. its actually going to be pretty sweet

Thats exactly what the VM Tele bass is, same neck, non gloss.

 

[DudeWheresMy182]

i knew they felt pretty similar! lol

i like the gloss, but no gloss is cool too. pretty much whatever comes first is mine. come onnnnnnnnn ebay, come onnnnn TB classifieds lol

 

[DudeWheresMy182]

now this is what im talking about!!!

wanna trade? LOL

no, but seriously...

Darkstrike- aren't you the guy who relic'd your VM? is there a way to get some of the gloss off evenly, or would it require a complete re-fin? I'm not that invested in this bass yet, so I don't want to put too much into it.

I'm not, you're thinking of Dark Horse.

But, you could knock the shine off, without breaking down to wood, with some smooth sandpaper, surley?

A green Scotch Brite pad did a great job on both my '50s and '60's P Basses.

I have a squier lined fretless defretted neck with tuners for sale on here for $75 plus shipping. PM me if interested

 

[DudeWheresMy182]

thanks, but im going to pass. im looking specifically for a fretted Squier VM TB neck or a CV 50's p bass neck for this project. if you ever get one, you know who to come to! haha

these necks are hard to find cause theyre new-er and a lot of people like em.
ill keep searching!

Did it take any of the finish off or just the 'shine'?

Right, well my only concern with sandpaper is that the sanding direction will be visible between the frets, but would probably work great to take the finish down a bit for the back of the neck and headstock.

Ah, didn't realise you wanted to do the front as well.

 

[LCW]

The necks are squared at the end your hoppus body will have to be routed to fit it.

 

[DudeWheresMy182]

did that just make the finish dull or did it take it all off and look like the Squier TB neck?

 

[DudeWheresMy182]

routing? no problem! i like experimenting. lol
