Anyone ever play or own an Ibanez SR w/ a moses graphite neck

Really wondering if replacing the neck will give this sucker anymore natural low end ..................

I own a couple SRs and love them. And I also have a Modulus and am a huge fan of graphite necks. But the cost of putting one on an SR sort of ruins the whole economy of the thing, doesn't it? But I bet it would rock!

I have an SR1200 and typically run with the mids boosted at 250hz to get some extra warmth/low end..

I doubt that a new neck will do much tbh.

* what amp/speaker combination do you have?.. it may be that your rig just doesnt have the ooomph at the low end.. most cabs are rolling off before they hit a B...
* if you have an fx loop you could use a parametric EQ.
* you could try raising the neck pup on the low side for more volume
* have you considered switching the pups to big splits or even fat stacks instead?...

I would think that a stiffer neck would add more clarity and high end, rather than low end. I could be wrong though.
