Where to find a 32" scale neck?

Phantom makes 32" scale basses, perhaps Jack will sell you a neck.

 

Mike Dolan made a terrific 32" scale neck for me, and his price was about the same as the premium-quality Warmoth necks.

 

just a thought, i am in the finishes of a build and used a 34" fret board with the first fret loped off = 32.092" SCALE. as long as i had to add the width of a string (.096 to .046) e-g. to the string length, i thought it wouldn't be a problem to add just a bit more when setting my bridge.

 

I don't know if Ibanez will sell a seperate 32" scale neck but it would probably be worth contacting them.

Ibanez makes a bass with a 32" scale that will basically bolt on to a standard Fender-style body:

You may or may not need to reposition the bridge...I have had good luck setting the intonation without bridge repositioning when I have tried this type of swap myself.

I have installed this type of bass neck on both Warmoth and Fender bodies, among others. Good luck with your project! later, ron

 

There was a 32" MIJ Fender model, many years ago. I could be mistaken what with all of the cool Fenders available only in Japan these days, but the 32" one I know about has not been produced in 20 years.

 

i've owned one of those MIJ squier basses before. they are nice basses but their necks will not fit a standard p or j bass. They are too narrow.

Same thing with the Matsumoko basses, i.e. Aria/Vantage/others MIJ in the 80s.

The original Fender Stu Hamm Urge models, both MIA and MIM, are 32" scale; I have not tried to fit their necks to a standard p or j body. I expect they would be too long to fit.

There are other 32" scale basses out there--I have traveled this path before. E-mail me at rdyoder at gmail dot com if you want to get more specific. later, ron
