on a homebuilt bass guitar with the neck already installed, how should i alleviate the bowing of the neck?
i built a bass guitar out of a strat body and an oak neck, and was less than farsighted about the bowing of said neck due to string tension, causing impossibly high action on the upper half of the fretboard. the neck is already screwed and glued onto the body, thus it is probably too late to install a truss neck (which seems as if it would be impractical anyway), so what can i do here? i was thinking somewhere along the lines of nailing some kind of discreet strip or wire between the headstock and the body, but i'm not sure exactly what my line of action would be so that it doesn't interfere with play. any ideas?
hi ther, trouble with discrete nailing is the lack of pre stressed tension, that you quite rightly intimatyed the truss rod would give you.... Don't supose you could get a router in there and cut a slot for said rod? I or if you were feeling adventurious you could mount a reverse pair of strings running down the back of the neck, maybe tensioned form the beyond the nut with a sort of reverse string winder.
Interesting problem....
best of luck Ed..
