So that's what happens if you tighten the truss rod too much? I've always wondered.

".HOWEVER,the crucial thing to know is the truss rod is cracking the fretboard (see pics),it doesn't seem to affect playability,but it is Definitely something that needs to be a addressed as a possible repair issue in the future" Ya think?

Is it really even a Fender neck? Look how the word "Bass" on the decal is squished to fit between the tuning post and the edge of the headstock.

Looks like a fake decal to me.

Neck appears to have been re-sprayed.

New MIA's are about that price and they're very, very nice.

Parts bass, about $450.00
