Fender Roasted Maple Precision Bass Neck
Looking for an ultra-stable neck?
Fender's Roasted Maple P Bass necks resist temperature and humidity change, look beautiful, and sound great.
Torrefied or "roasted" woods are now relied on by custom shops and boutique builders to give their instruments a more vintage and responsive tone. It’s like the neck has that played-in tone and feel already built right in.
When a neck is roasted, it becomes more stable, lightweight, and takes on an aged caramel color. The increase in stability is truly surprising—the necks are far more resistant to temperature and humidity change. And, the tone is undeniable!
Same great feel with improved tone
These necks have a modern Precision Bass "C" shape profile that plays just like all of those revered Fenders of the past. The 20 medium-jumbo frets are highly polished and feel great. The 9.5" radius is comfortable up and down the neck. The synthetic bone nut has pilot grooves that are ready for you to dial-in to the perfect action.
The back of the neck is a satin urethane finish that feels like an old friend. The front is finished in high gloss to keep the classic Fender look. For true Fender authenticity, it's also serialized and stamped, down to the spaghetti logo headstock decal.
