cowbell neck, mim body

Post by robert(original) »

this is the neck that i got from a bass i bought from cowbell for my g.f. im having the body painted and my newest shop bitch had to prove himself by level sanding and buffing out the neck from a squire jazz bass vintage modified.
i set it up with flat wounds.
to my suprise the squire neck is about 3 mms thicker than the mim fender neck and the width at the heal is almost a full mm wider.
anywho, i think it looks HAWT!

they have it in the body shop as we speak, im thinking either oly white, or some sort of metallic blue color.

oooohohhhhh,
phew, i thougt you were crazy and wanted the entire sqiure back.
i can never sell that burst body, i bought it in 99 with the money i made from being a camp counselor at a christian camp and its got too much mojo, it might hurt or even kill a noob if they tried to play it.
but at anyrate, i can't. if i could i would be all over that, i just did it to see how it all felt, here before too long it will go back to the way it was.
