Members Daryl Chaney Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 Hey, Im researching a new neck for my MIA P-bass cause this happened. I've narrowed it down to a Warmoth or an Allparts neck. J-bass maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, block binding, gloss finish + frets and nut. Both cost the same. Which one would be better? Warmoth sounds alot better, because they explain how they make their necks and it sounds much better than the shite Fender are putting out these days. Allparts dont say anything about their necks, they dont even say that they make them ! anyone played, dealt with both warmoth/allparts necks ?

Members Daryl Chaney Posted September 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 Daryl, Allparts necks are made by Godin in Canada. Ah ! cheers. jesus you keep popping up everywhere around here. what way do they manufacture their bass necks ? The warmoth necks sound pretty indestructible and reliable with the double truss rod and those 2 stiffening rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super Bass Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 Haha yeah, I'm very bored today. We've got a problem with one of our servers in work and its slow so I'm just surfin' the net. I've no idea how they manufacture their necks. Personally I'd go with Warmoth though. They are expensive though, check out the Showcase. This one ain't bad, cheapest refinished J neck they have. http://warmoth.com/showcase/sc_guitar_necks.cfm?type=bass&start=1&menuItem=1&itemNumber=BN1303&subMenuItem=4&subMenuItem2=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been gasing for a block bound neck for a few years now. This is my excuse to get one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members takeout Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 Mighty Mite. Cheaper than either of the above, and good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thumper Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 I'd go with Warmoth, as I have a Warmoth body on my '79 Franken-P/J. Allparts and Mighty Mite make good stuff too, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cortfan Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 Another vote for MightyMite necks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Kashue Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 An option most people don't consider is going with one of the more expensive Warmoth necks, but getting a wood that doesn't need to be finished. On the front end, it looks more expensive than the maple, but it's cheaper over all since you need to get the maple finished. On top of all that, you get the silky speed of an unfinished neck. Win, win... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jugghaid Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 I would say the best nuck is probably the Warmoth. The best neck for the $ is probably the Mighty Mite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zebra Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 I think Warmoth will undoubtedly offer the highest quality and the most options. If it's not what you need, cheaper versions like allparts or mighty mite will be good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Markee Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 Warmoth makes a good product but when it comes to necks I'd opt for a USCG (US custom guitar) neck. Warmoth uses an overly large truss rod which can dampen vibration not to mention add unwanted weight. You can sometimes find bass necks at the bargain section not that the one you order won't be comprarable to Warmoth in cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Daryl Chaney Posted September 12, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 Im gonna go with Warmoth for the neck. they just seem the best out of them all with fantastic neck construction.

Win, win... Yea i was just looking at a Padouk neck with a rosewood fingerboard. Same tonal qualities as a Maple/rosewood neck but no worries about finishes (ie, the wood twisting) which is what im looking for ! Plus it will look cool, especially if i can get it block bound too. Anyone got any ideas for a punchier sounding neck than Maple/Rosewood ? I was thinking of Wenge/Pau Ferro or Ebony (fingerboard) Any ideas ? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
