    Are Modulus still making replacement necks?

    I've recently found a great looking funk unlimited JJ, however it's in pretty rough shape with a warped neck where it's bending past the 12th fret, I assume the poor thing was left in someone's hot car or something. If I go ahead with it, I'm going to get it heat treated and see what comes out...

    What to do with a bass with a warped neck?

    Looking for a little advice please. Here's a little backstory. I have a 1999 Warwick Thumb Bolt-On 4-string with a warped neck. It has more relief on the bass side than the treble side. No amount of truss rod twiddling will fix this. I recently sent it off to a luthier that performed a heat...

    Twisted Fender necks?

    So my bass (a Fender American Pro) has had issues with buzzing on the G string only from frets 3 to 6.

    Bass Truss Rod won't tighten any further

    A couple weeks ago I took my Squier VM 70's Jazz Bass to a luthier so he could set it up for me (I can make the basic adjustments by myself, but the bass also needed some fret leveling / polishing), and he said that when he was adjusting the neck relief, he wasn't able to tighten the truss rod...

    Repairing Neck Upbow With Carbon Fiber Rods?

    Hello all, I have an Ibanez SR400 with a warped neck, it has a bad case of upbow that cannot be straightened with just the truss rod. The truss rod is all the way tightened with no adjustability left. I suspect the warp is due to the previous owners neglecting it and not adjusting the truss...

    One way truss rod, warped neck

    I purchased a 1998 Modulus Genesis 5 on Reverb. Long story short, the neck was warped (B string was unplayable), the neck was milky probably from exposure to humidity for a prolonged period of time, and that the truss rod was maxed out.. (not a two-way) I had the neck planed and did a fret...

    Is this repair going to hold-up?

    I purchased a 1998 Modulus Genesis 5 on Reverb. Long story short when I went to get it set-up I discovered the neck was warped (B string was unplayable), the neck was milky probably from exposure to humidity for a prolonged period of time, and that the truss rod was maxed out.. (not a two-way)...
