(Yet) Another Mjt Jazz Bass Build!

Thanks all for the positive posts. Going to record a sound demo tonight. Canāt decide if I want to keep to rounds on it or go to flats.
Took it into work today and got the frets leveled. Waited a while just so the neck could settle in.
Well, my neck warped, and not in a good way. More relief on the treble side than the bass by quite a bit. Not only that but my truss rod is not doing a whole lot to keep the neck from moving. Before I took the neck off I was adjusting the neck twice a week, kept tightening the truss.
Soooooā¦.
I really like the bass and my bandmates love how clear and loud the sound is. I ended up ordering another neck from musikraft. This time veneer dark rosewood board, quartersawn maple, clay dots. Quartersawn is probably the better move here anyway, Iām joining a cool touring band here pretty soon so itāll get some road time and Iāll appreciate the stability of a tough piece of maple. Probably going to go VVT with the controls as well. But yeah, this new neck better not fān move!
