tired of warping necks

**chilix** · 03-03-2007, 11:12 AM

I just can't stand it, everytime I change my strings on my '79 Sabre the bow in the neck becomes greater and I need to adjust the neck again to get a lower action. It drives me crazy. I also change the strings one at a time to keep some tension on that neck during a string change. I love the sound it makes but I can't stand having to adjust the neck and use the heavy guage strings to keep the neck straighter. I was thinking a graphite neck or possibly a new neck but I do not want to chop up the body for any modifications.

Opinions welcome...

amazing!

I guess all I have left to say is that, if you ever sell that bass, let me know or let me know when you hear of a Cutlass I or Cutlass II (preferably) for sale... I'm now determined to get one

I got first dibs Chilix.... me & Brad have an arrangement you see.
He puts lovely MM basses up for sale and I'm compelled to buy them!!

That trans red finish is something else!!!

Seriously though Brad.... if you ever do..................

If I decide to let it go I'll certainly try to keep it in the EB family. I doubt they made very many of these.

Maybe my Sterling HH in Dargie green will make it obsolete!
