Chopthebass Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Beautiful! I am curious why the slot behind the truss rod spoke wheel needs to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skelf Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) Just the way I route for the trussrod and spoke wheel. It does not need to carry on past the spoke wheel and in some with part of the top on the neck it does not.

honza992 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Wow, so much to like. Wood selection especially. I don't think I've ever seen an ash neck before. I would guess grain orientation is critical, much more so than with maple which has much straighter grain in the first place. The 3 pieces certainly look as though they've got lovely straight grain, and the direction of the 3 pieces have been oriented to complement each other. Lovely job!

My (limited) understanding is that you wouldn’t have a 1-piece ash neck in the same way as a maple neck, for stability reasons. However using the three (or more) ash pieces increases stability significantly. Again, maybe @skelf can comment Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelf Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I have pretty much only built multi laminate necks the main reason being I can manipulte the grain direction in persuit of making the most stable necks. So I have never tried a one piece Ash neck so not sure if there is specific reason for it not working. Heavy White Ash is pretty stiff and hard so it should make a decent neck and having built several basses with Ash necks all laminated I have to say I really like it as a neck wood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
