bodmin Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Hi guys. Just wondered if you can help me. I have a Fender MIM Jazz bass V (5 in a row tuners not 4+1), and it got knocked off its stand onto a ceramic tiled floor at a jam session. It landed on the B string tuner, bending it. I have also noticed that the headstock has cracked from the small screw hole holding the tuner out to the edge of the headstock I have ringed the area of the crack in the photo. The crack doesn't seem to go the whole depth of the headstock. Anyway, my question is: can this be repaired economically, or is the neck firewood? Many thanks for any advice you can offer.

discreet Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Definitely not firewood. A good luthier will easily be able to fix it. Should be tens of pounds rather than hundreds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manton Customs Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Yep, it's firewood. Just kidding! A luthier should be able to sort that out easily for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodmin Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Thanks guys! I The bass has some sentimental value, so very pleased to hear it should be repairable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
