A picture of my 1990 Chaparral Bass neck joint compared to this 1989 that is for sale. What is the deal with the Chaparral neckjoint differences and why?

The neck joint on the one for sale looks more like my (former) '82 Cruisebass. Maybe they switched in '90? The '90 looks more elegant and less obtrusive.

Hey velorush, My 90 Chap neckjoint looks like the 96 Cruise neckjoint only the Cruise is a bolt-on neck. Looking forward to more in-site into this. Most-likely there is no rhyme or reason.

Your Chap looks much more like a missing link prior the very elegant Shishkov joint (photo borrowed from the "What's Been Going on in the Shop" thread)

That's very cool and interesting. BTW the missing link was found.... Curly Q Link.

I stand corrected, my Cruise is a 95.
