Re: Will the Buffet Icon neck fit on my 80's bass?

I can't say for sure, but a friend has a late 80s or early 90s Buffet bass clarinet and I have a early 2000s 1193 (same as the model made from 1999 until now in that respect), and the necks are not interchangeable. The Icon is made to fit the current model. It's been a few years since I've tried it so don't remember exactly, but one of the neck tenons didn't fit the other (can't remember which was which) and the keys were way off too.

Of course the keys can be modified to work and the tenon too. I don't remember if it was just an OD issue so whether they would work acoustically is another matter.
