I used one of the necks thru blanks and it worked out well.
I've had the instrument now for 9 years

I played in a band that had them as an endorsment and I would use carvin stuff for anything guitars, pa, whatever, even though I don't play with the group now...carvins new ICON is sweet....but i use some of their parts and never had a problem

maybe a great topic for the Basses forum and not the Luthier's Corner, as this topic currently has nothing to do with building basses

Unless he's talking about the neck-thru blanks you can buy, such as

in which case this is the right place. They've been used a few times by members.

PJ All Day; I recently bought a 5-string Carvin neck thru from a fellow off Ebay, but he had already attached some body wings. The woods he used were awesome but the wings were so small the thing had serious neck dive. I have cut off the body so I can attach my own once I get relocated. I think it will be a nice project once I get into it. By the way, my neck has a more traditionally shaped headstock blank that they don't offer anymore - which I really like. I only paid $122 for it at auction. They retail for $269 it seems. I will be looking for help and advice after I get into working on this so hopefully I can refer to this thread again in the future. Good luck with yours.
