Project bassses are far more rewarding then just getting an off the shelf player, in my opinion.
Absolutely! My past few projects have turned out really nice. The Bettie Page bass has gotten comments on the look and the sound. Not bad for a bass with them crooked frets.

Late to the party here - damn overtime! - anyway, there is a seller on Ebay that moves tons of Japanese Fender parts. His maple/maple necks seem to go for about $250+ and they are pristine. The Japanese Fender stuff is fantastic

UPDATE: Mike Lull has removed the neck. It was "shattered" and "completely obliterated" per Mike. As in, someone threw on the ground or something at one time. So there was no salvaging the truss rod in this mess...and I do feel much better about chopping it off now.
We now wait for the graphite-reinforced Maple neck to arrive from USA Custom Guitars.... (they make Charlie Hunter's Guitar necks too fwiw)....

You're making the best of a bad situation. I hope it all works out.
