Which bass has graphite reinforcement bar in neck?

[nyangsw]

I'm looking for a bass which has strong neck.
I personally like the neck with graphite reinforce.
And it must be 5 string ,24 frets.
Any suggestion?

NS Radius?

Roscoe basses have 2 graphite rods in their necks.

Fender special P bass... oops not enough strings on this one and it is also lacking on the fret side. Man you will have to look at the Roscoe as they are what you are looking for and more...

All USA and Euro Spectors have that.

They do indeed.

Wal.
In one interview the late great Ian Waller suggested he would jump on one of the pro necks in his workshop

Peavey makes several 5er's with a graphite reinforced neck: Millennium +5, the G-bass (G-V), and I believe the Cirrus Sarzo & B-Quad are graphite, but I don't know if they're 5'ers or not.

If I remember correctly, the G-V's neck is made by Modulus.

EDIT: Sorry, I missed the part about 24 frets

I own about 2 dozen basses, most over $1000. The only ones I never have to adjust the necks on are my wenge neck warwicks. All my others I adjust several times a year.

Carvin has 24 frets

If the neck isn't going to be stiff enough without the graphite rods then the bass probably isn't worth buying.

Roger Glover bass. It has a massive carbon rod in the neck

Tell that to Roger Sadowsky.

The rods are not there just to add stiffness - they also help minimize dead spots.

I find that my basses with graphite rods, (Fender Am Dlx, P, and J), are very stable, and require almost no truss rod adjustments. So, I am convinced they provide stability.

Agreed. And I find it a persuasive argument in favor of the American Deluxe and Standard Series over the MIM counterparts.

Tell that to Roger Sadowsky.

Roger has said on numerous occasions that the rods in his NYC models (the Metros are rod-free) are there to decrease the likelihood of dead spots, not because his necks require added strength.

What do you mean by (the Metros are rod-free)? I have a MS5 and it has a rod in it.

More stiffness = less internal losses = less pronounced dead spots.

Graphite rods (not truss rods).
