Model Overview 

The Allparts Select Replacement Mustang Bass® Neck is “officially licensed by Fender®” and made to exacting quality standards in Japan. Designed to be perfect middle ground for guitar and bass scale lengths, the Fender Mustang Bass was made for guitarists looking to explore the bass as well as students looking to pick up an easier-to-play option. This premium Mustang Bass replacement neck features all of the hallmarks of the original with a few upgrades added to the mix like the roasted maple wood this neck is carved from as well as a compound 7.25”-10” fretboard radius that allows for closer string action and gives the player an over-all more comfortable feel.  Finished in gloss polyurethane for a high-end classic look, this neck is ready to be installed and put through the paces!

Why Roasted? 

Roasting the wood blanks prior to production enhances stability by reducing the moisture content down to around 7%.  The result is a more-resonant neck that’s stronger and less susceptible to changing weather conditions.  Roasting (or cooking) flamed maple also enhances the visual depth of the flame, accentuating the uniqueness of each neck.

Important Notes

• Wood grain varies from neck to neck.  Your neck may differ slightly from what is pictured.
  
• All necks have a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
  
• All necks may require fret leveling and polish.  This is normal and not a defect.
  
• To protect against the effects of moisture, we recommend sealing unfinished necks prior to installation.
  
• Due do the lack of moisture in roasted maple, the risk for cracking is more apparent.  When drilling holes for screws, we recommend measuring inside and outside of the threads first to determine the screw's shank and the correct drill bit to use.  Do not force screws into holes drilled with smaller drill bits.
