Warmoth necks ?

[Jules1]

hope I have not overlooked some equal thread like this.... but I would like you to ask :

what are your experiences with Warmoth necks ?

I'm thinking about ordering a replacement neck for my Fender 57 P Bass - a maple neck with a rosewood board....

but I have abselutely no experience with Warmoth

thanks for your help

They are fantastic. Get the one with graphite rods instead of the steel ones. Much better balance.

[Jules1]

thanks for that info.

Warmoth just emailed me - they can't build me a neck with the specs of a 57' P Bass neck

looks that I have to stay with the 1 piece maple neck on my Bass

[Rodent]

what specs in particular are you looking to replicate, what work are you willing/able to do yourself (think finishing, cutting a nut, etc ...), and what are you looking at budget wise?

also curious why you're considering a new neck. anything in particular about your current neck you're not happy with?

there's a couple ways to go depending on exactly what you're looking for. the above info can help to narrow the field of recommendations

all the best,

R

Hy,

I've listed the details for a 57' neck (taken from the Fender page) below. I'm not after doing sth. bymyself because I can't but I'm also waiting for a price request for a 62 model. I just felt that I'm a "Rosewood" guy and this Ash / 1 piece Maple combo has a great tone but somehow it does not fit my finger playing style 100% .... a friend of mine has an original 63 P Bass with that combo - Ash / Rosewood and it sounds great - defenetely more towards my taste and I have tested it by myself too when I've put the neck of my Jazz Bass (Rosewood board) on my Pbass to see the deifference

A new neck would be an option instead of having to buy a new Bass
