hey all,
The warped neck on a used Jackson bass that I picked up turned out to be the truss rod snapped right at the top adjustment. Do I have any options rather than buying a new neck. I've looked around but cant seem to find a neck. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where I can find one? The whole reason I bought it was for the killer look of the headstock, and now its useless. Thanks!

anybody?

Depends on how far down the rod has snapped off below the bearing surface. If the rod broke at the nut (just twisted off) then it can be fixed. See the broken truss rod tool at Stewart-MacDonald:

There are pictures and a good explanation of how the work proceeds. That said, this is not a task for an amateur. Only those that are handy in the extreme need apply. A pro would probably do the repair for a little less than the price of a replacement neck.

The other way to repair it is to replace the truss rod. Again, that would cost roughly as much as a replacement neck.

202dy, thanks, that is the answer I was looking for!
