looking to part together a cheap bass. ive been looking for an all maple neck, and ive seen the eden all maple vintage tinted necks listed on ebay for some time but have been pretty skeptical about them. anyone have any experiences with these?

They're not bad considering what they are - they're probably the same quality as an SX, Squire, Dean....

I got one to examine and will use it on something eventually.

I have one of the maple "vintage tint" necks that has the black block inlays.
It is definitely not a jazz profile neck - more like a baseball bat.
No complaints though - I bought it for putting an old beater precision body - works fine.

I got one to use on a Bently Series 10 lefty P-bass body as a cheep "projekt" bass using BEAD tuning.
They ARE baseball bats, but that's not necessarily a bad thing... it feels real "solid".
Thickness at 1st fret is .90", 12th fret is 1.10"
The advertised nut width is 1 3/4", but is actually 1 5/8".
Headstock shape is almost exactly Fender, the only difference is the "ball" part is about 1/2" longer.
It's 21 frets, with a 1/2" overhang at the pocket.
The fretwork is not bad, pretty flat but with some rough edges. Nothing some masking tape and a fine file can't fix.
The wood has a nice straight grain and the finish is well done, almost too "vintage" yellow and very glossy.
All things taken into account, I consider it a fair deal. I did the Ebay "make offer" option of $25.00 so total inc. shipping was $50.00
It plays decent, takes standard Fender tuners and nut, and fits standard neck pockets.
Worse comes to worse I could hit some fungos with it...

yes i have two of them on my to parts p-basses they are like baseball bats lol but sometimes i like a thicker neck and i have had them for a few months now seem to hold up pretty well so i say for $29 they charge you(thats what i paid) i say get one just dont be one of those people who pay $29 for something and want it to be fender qaulity

I'm ressurecting this thred to get some info on the Eden necks. In the 3bay listing it say's it fit's most common P/J basses, but in the pics you can see they have 21 frets instead of 20 and the fretboard doesn't overhang the body...What did you guys use it on?

well i used one of mine on an old 90's MIK Squier P-bass body and the other was on a unknown p-bass style body

Was the neck with 20 or 21 frets?
