I'm hoping someone can tell me what kind of bass this neck is from. All I can tell you is it's a bolt-on, MIJ, 30" scale, has a zero fret, and is three color sunburst front and back with antique white binding. It's very tall and narrow at the heel.....1 7/8" wide and 1 3.8" tall. Anybody recognize what bass it's from?

Hi Spellcaster

The neck appears to be from a 1968 Teisco since they used that headstock profile on a lot of different models in 68. It is also possible that it is from a different company that mimicked the Teisco style.

This might be the guitar counterpart to your bass:

Ooops, spoke too soon.

I think your neck is more similar to the one on this 1967 Burns. The Japanese copied everyone, even each other. The inspiration for this profile was Hofner.

Thanks for the responses. Seems like the headstock shape was a popular one. A friend on another forum has also suggested it might be a Univox based on the mounting holes for the badge. While I was searching online, I found a site that may be of interest to people here....

I think it's a riff on the Hofner Beatle Violin bass -- I have an ElDegas one of those and that's the headstock shape. Could have been made by just about anybody though.
