    Neck too thin, truss rod is breaking out !! :(

    Actually, this does not work because we need more thickness behind the truss rod and the neck is already shaped. Doing this would leave a bump in the middle of the neck.

    Neck too thin, truss rod is breaking out !! :(

    Thanks to the suggestions, I managed to salvage the neck ! Here is what I did : glue back the piece that broke glue another piece of wood on top I tried to carve the neck again from here but could not get a good profile make some wood past with saw dust and wood glue to fill the sides of the...

    Neck too thin, truss rod is breaking out !! :(

    I don't see how a brass nut would help here. A brass nut is the part that places the strings on the fingerboard for me, but it can also be, well, a brass nut, the friend of a bolt, which kind of make sens, but I don't see how I should put one of those on the truss rod at this point.

    Neck too thin, truss rod is breaking out !! :(

    @Gilmourisgod There was 1/16". I removed the piece of wood and measured its thickness with a caliper. And this is roaster maple that appear weaker than the regular maple. I will try to glue it back, and we will see. As @Jeff Siddall said, I have nothing to lose at this point.

    Neck too thin, truss rod is breaking out !! :(

    So, I was a little too much concentrated on the shape of the neck and ended up with not enough wood below the truss rod. Wood started to crack as soon as I turn the rod... Guess I will have to do a new neck now...

    Traynor YRM-1

    I ended up buying it, and it has a lot of low. I would say that the head is powerfull enough for rehearsal if your drummer is not too loud . It is a very simple head with two power tubes and one preamp tube, no fan. The transformer is noisy!!? Maybe because the ground was cut on the plug...

    Traynor YRM-1

    I have the opportunity to buy a Traynor YRM-1 which is close to the YBA-1. Price is correct(not exeptionnal) so I could wait and buy the YBA-1 instead. What would you guys do? My main concern is : will the power supply be able to push the low? Anyone has/tried both? Thanks.

    Ear Plugs

    It probably depend on how loud your band is, I am in a rock/blues band and I wouldn't get -9dB filter. Thoses guitars are too loud despite the not to heavy drummer (the quietest I had). Those filter would do for a Jazz band probably. If you plan to buy multiple filters, go for it!

    Ear Plugs

    Maybe it is just a commercial argument and custom fitted ear plug are good forever?? As a side note, I have -15dB and I am planning to buy -25 dB filter, I wouldn't recommand -9dB for a musician.
