Does anyone know if there is a current G&L production model with the same (or close) specs as a vintage SC-1? Or if there might be there a neck from any other manufacturers that might be compatible? Thank you.

I decided to trade it with a friend of mine who took it as a "gap" instead of money for another G&L bass, with my legacy neck broken + a precision. He had it for a week in a "wet room" in some kind of humidity high place with buckets of water. 1 week later, the guitaer was back in shape. Lost a perfectly good legacy deluxe top because of luthier who didn't took the time to do proper check. It's not really their fault because there is always the time and business in the whole equation, but a new neck is 600$ for a US G&L guitar. While it is ok, you could save a 600$... Still, just my two cents Write G&L, they will answer for sure. They did answered to me in the past, but I decided to take the less costly route, and I regret it as the legacy was a KILLER guitar. Miss it, but hey, at least she is now played daily - the buyer really loved it.
Musikraft can also do G&L neck for it. They have that option. Give them a mail, could help out too. It was an option I had too.
