5 string headless graphite composite neck, ebony fingerboard, 24 frets

This is a prototype 5 string headless bass guitar neck made from graphite composite for a company that is new to market.  The neck is guaranteed straight and true with no warping or twisting. Composite necks help provide a playing experience free of deadspots and, when properly set up, can provide effortless playability and a lively, more energetic response, in each note.  If you are a speed player, these necks may be worth considering.

Features include:

• Indian ebony fingerboard (6mm thick) with zero fret
• 24 levelled stainless steel frets
• 34" scale
• Double action truss rod (accessed through the string clamp end)
• String clamp that accepts single ball end strings
• Monocoque construction (a hollow shell) with resin core
• Matt polyester finish
• Neck inserts and matching bolts supplied

Please note: The measurements above are indicative. There might also be slight variations in the appearance of the weave due to the handmade nature of this item.

Installation: We recommend asking a local luthier to drill holes for the inserts; the process should take them about ten minutes and no more than 30 minutes to install the neck into a custom body. Other neck types are potentially available if demand is sufficient, including p-bass, j-bass, SR4 narrow nut, and SR5 in fretted and fretless, using different fingerboard materials.
