I don't know about the neck, but your nails look super cute.
Good eye!
Nice to see a bassist center stage even if swinging an FSO.
necks don’t fit 7ender pockets, they are narrower.
the “generic” Epiphone basses don’t sell for what they are worth.
this one is worth about $140 with the $45 strings.
As bad as the whole situation is, at least you came out of it relatively unscathed and appear to be in good enough spirits to post here and start searching for a replacement vehicle. Could have been much much worse. Wishing you the best on any financial as well as medical recovery necessary. Keep rockin!
Don’t know anything about those necks, but that particular one looks to be in dire need of some fretboard oil.
Soot Sparkle? Regardless of what they call it - it looks pretty bloody good!
Very Old Special ?

I tried the 6 string, BEAD, and the 5er thing...
I'm too busy trying to step on the treble geetarists sonic space to worry about going lower.

Wow!!!!
A neck that’s narrower at the body seems to be what I’m gravitating toward these days.necks don’t fit 7ender pockets, they are narrower.

Mine is a 2006, about 91K on it when I bought from my SIL, who took very good care of it. It showed no signs of needing the head gaskets changed at that point, but within a year it did. If they haven't be fixed I would flog the seller down at least 2K on price, it'll cost that much. Once done, they become pretty stout, at 155K now, the timing belt and front half shafts are about that I've done - those are more like running repair. They're really good for haul gear and when you move back to Washington you'' find it to be a great car for rain and it's unmatched in snow.
They LOVE Thunderbirds too!
The headstock seems to be butchered as well. I’ll pass on this particular one, but I’m going to keep an eye out.
