Are the neck and scroll both carved from a large single piece of wood? Or do luthiers use a scarf joint?

Double Bass Neck and Scroll Question
- Thread starter ii7-V7
- Start date
Usually new ones are one piece, but often older basses will have a new neck grafted to the original scroll. I've also seen a few new basses done this way. The joint used is not a scarf like on a guitar; just search "neck graft" and you should be able to find some good details and pictures.
