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.

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

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

p.s. not fishing for business with this post - I'm not a parts house

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
