FDP Forum / Fender Guitars: Jaguars & Jazzmasters / Awww... Bass VI MIJ necks... not like the real thing

barry.b australia	Jun 21st, 2016 09:11 AM   Edit   Profile   Hi I finally found an MIJ Bass VI (in my fav CAR colour) so I didn't have to take my '62 Bass VI to gigs on my motorbike... ... and the MIJ neck is nothing like the '62. It's chunkier while the '62 is lovely and slim. Sigh. Just ... sigh...

barry.b australia	Jun 24th, 2016 01:13 AM   Edit   Profile   Thanks @reverendrob No I haven't. Would their necks be different to the MIJ Bass VI's? I must admit, I'm spoilt with my two slab board 1962 Bass VI's (3 switch and 4 switch) - slim necks, almost like guitar. The MIJ is quite chunky in comparison
reverendrob FDP Data Goon Moderator When I sin I sin real good	Jun 24th, 2016 01:33 AM   Edit   Profile   I'm happy with the Squier and the MIM in the baseline necks. It's comfortable, smaller than the Jazz Bass neck by a hair. I haven't played a MIJ VI in ages, they're rare here as most MIJs are.
