Basshole Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 My number one Fender Jazz Bass has a warpped neck. Do you guys know anything that can fix the warppedness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlekenny Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Probably adjust the truss rod but if that doesn't work, maybe you could buy another neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:oilpit: Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Jesse said the truss rod broke, and if that's true, then your sorta ****ed on that neck. But Jesse is wrong like 78% of the time so who knows... 8-[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basshole Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 I have tried the truss rod, It seem to work at the time I don't think its broken. Maybe the wood is messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrosurfer1959 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 there are a few places that can straighten necks a combination of heat (steam) and pressure. Theres a good place in LA if I can find the info I'll send it. I had a PRS given to me with a really bad neck where some Nimrod stored it in a bathroom apparently and the humidity killed it the neck was twisted almost a 1/8 turn. I had nothing to lose so just researched it on the net found a company (The CA one I cant remember right now) and sent it off. got it back with a neck that looked and felt like a new guitar, four years later and the neck is still arrow straight with no issues. Good luck either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Get two chairs... (well balanced chairs) then place them so that the headstock can rest in one of them and the body in the other (the neck joint should be restinig on that chair too). See how there's nothing between the neck and the floor? Step on it. Just kidding... don't ever do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Deadhead Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Soak it in the cheap bourbon you brother in law got you for X-Mas, drink a bottle of the good styuff you bought yourself, smoke a left handed cigarette, put it in a vise, take an 18" pipe wrench and twist it back straight.
