| Need Advice ASAP bass is broken
Hey guys
I am in a pinch. I just got back from a rehearsal. I took my bass out of the bag and to my horror the neck joint was cracked and the neck has become partially seperated from the body. There is a crack and the heel where the neck and body meet as well as two cracks on either side running along the side of the joint. If i push the neck down hard enough it joins back up. However, i do not dare stringing it back up to full tension because I am afraid the neck will totally split from the body.
I am wondering
1. how much do you guys think a repair like this would cost. ballpark estimates are ok.
2. This bass is a 2001 Shen sb180 hybrid. Would it be worth fixing something like this if it is a serious as I am guessing it is.
Thanks. I have a bunch of gigs booked on upright over the next two months and two this weekend. I don't know what to do.
I also have an email out to my luthier but wanted to post here to get some other opinions. Pics are attached below. Sorry for the bluriness
