22 fret jazz bass neck

[Neck ache]

Hello

I was just after a bit of advice and probably a new neck for a 1992 fender jazz bass?

I bought this bass a good few years ago now but it was lent to a mate for the last 6 years and just got it back. I thought it could probably just do with getting set up as the neck looked pretty bent  but after a tech seeing to it he couldn’t get the neck straight but on hindsight it’s always been a bit of a dog to play. 

Can any neck be straightened out or are they sometimes just too gone? 

I got in touch with warmoth and they say they don’t do 22 fret necks to fit/intonate a 4 string platform. 

Does anyone know where I could find a 22 fret neck for a 4 stringed fender jazz bass USA? Or could it still be fixed by a neck doctor?

Added a few pics, the back of the neck looks a bit split?

Yes, it can likely be saved, but a picture looking down the neck would be helpful to illustrate the bow. If the truss rod is maxed out, a washer can be fitted under the truss rod nut to buy back some more turns. If it's twisted it'll need straightening by a luthier who has experience doing this, but avoid anyone who mentions using steam. The crack at the back is also reasonably common and can also be glued up/filled.

Thanks for the reply Manton Customs, I’ve added a few pics down the neck so you can see,  the truss rod was fully wound up, I’ll have to check and see where it’s at at the moment once I find some tools.

its good to hear it can be fixed.

thanks

Doesn’t look too severe, a washer or two under the truss rod nut would likely buy you back enough adjustment to get it straight.

Or drop a gauge of strings?
