Members Super Bass Posted September 28, 2008 Members Share Posted September 28, 2008 Awesome! It doesn't look as green in your pictures, much better IMO. What neck is goin' on it? I'm thinking about getting a can of that shielding paint for my jazz. The hum is still pissing me off, I couldn't shield it very well with the tape because the pickup cavities are very snug. The paint seems like an easier and cleaner approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fretless Posted October 30, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 nope , no neck yet , I got an email from them a couple of weeks ago , saying " the neck had flaws and was unacceptable " and they were making another one and it would be another 3 weeks or so . So... should be soon . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
