Hello, new member here, Geir Helgi is my name and I'm from Reykjavík, Iceland.
All-time PURE left-handed person!
I love the left side of life, it's hard at times, but definitely much more creative and smarter.

I've ordered a Talman bass in lefty but I also want to build my own short scale bass (after I played a Mustang bass reverse once I fell in love with it)

Now I'm searching for a neck, gonna start with that...
I prefer maple (fretboard also) because of that darned CITES thing :?

So where can I get a 30" bass neck?

Over & out and thanks a ton in advance
and KEEP ROCKIN' THAT LEFT HAND SIDE OF LIFE FOREVER.

-Geir Helgi

Try Warmoth. They do short scale stuff now.

If you're willing to go cheap (and bit risky) and not all too concerned with the possibility of having to redraw neck holes, you could try buying a lefty SX Ursa Jr. bass. Double check the dimensions on your bass to see if it will fit first:

Thanks for the suggestions, guys!
Yeah I was just about to ask about the JR. version as well, because from the photos it looks like the body is much smaller, I got super confused when I was looking at them and compairing them to custom short-scale SX basses people have been making (over at talkbass) -mainly the pickup placement reaching into the alignment of the control plate...
I guess they're mixing regular sized bodies with the short scale necks or something? (or even that medium sized bodies they have?)

I also found a 30" unfinished neck at Eden Guitars & Parts, but it's sold out or something... Will check it later.

I bought a pearly white Yamaha BB300, it's being shipped, so far I've read great things about the BB300s and that the neck is actually quite good, so I might just keep it stock.

But I am very interested in Frankensteining a short scale by myself from various parts! :)

Good to have this base right now (no pun intended LOL)
