Have an Electrical bass neck on the way - ordered August 2022 if you want an idea of the wait. I bought it because I felt defeated by my spouse's leukemia treatment and wanted to manufacture one single positive thing I could look forward to. Definitely didn't expect it to be that long, but they were good about answering when I would touch base. I'm excited. Currently deciding between making a walnut 4001 body or Gretsch 7629. I think the 7629 might look better with the Electrical headstock

I like the Gretsch idea.

Uh… would love to see a 4001 with an EGC neck! plus it might be the better choice to avoid neck dive.

Kramer XKB-10 shape with appropriately placed Santa Cruz sticker.

Oh man, that kramer shape would rule - I want to build something that doesn't normally have an aluminum neck though.

Walnut for sure to help with neck dive, but I'll put a hunk of Invar36 (I have some!) in it if it does

My bandmate got a bolt on bass neck recently and put it on a Fender Modern Player Jazz bass body and I was pleasantly surprised at how good these stacked Jazz Bass pickups sounded! Body is the same as this listing:

Very similar to a Fender Katana. Which I love dearly for being so dumb.
