Cort "Curbow" neck issues

Sign in to disble this ad
Picked up a Cort Greg curbow bass with an ebanol fret board. I like the bass, but the neck seems to warp while playing outdoors in the heat and sun. Anyone else experience this

Its a maple neck, so in all lieklyhood it just needs trussrod adjustment hopefully. If your going from nice indoor 72 degree AC to hot humid sunny outdoors upper 90's then yes some necks will bow in that. Neck may have allready needed adjustment and heat just made it worse.

Black parts tend to absorb a lot of heat and combined with the thinner than normal Cort Curbow neck (at least, the one I owned was comfortably thinner than a Fender, but also correspondingly less stable), can make the neck move a fair amount in the sun.
