How much is a bass neck?
I don’t make any bass necks or parts of any kind. A bass isn’t a guitar. I know, it looks similar, but it’s not the same and I’d have to learn about making a bass. I just don’t have the time to learn and experiment with a bass. Aluminum does have some give to it and I have no idea how to compensate for that on a bass neck. Those big strings have to be pulling a lot more than regular guitar strings, not to mention the extra length. If I were doing something with a truss rod, then maybe I could but aluminum necks don’t have a truss rod. 6. Do your necks have a truss rod. Nope and as far as I know, there are no aluminum necks with truss rods. Aluminum is rigid, very rigid. Aluminum necks aren’t 100% rigid, but they move so little, you can’t really tell it without measuring tools. I really don’t think a normal truss rod would be strong enough to adjust aluminum neck relief, not to mention the weight a hunk of steel would add to the neck. Making the neck with relief already there is best.
