Re: THE WORST I'VE SEEN
Repaired...Well, I was able to straighten the threaded portion, so the rods didn't need shortening. I re-arced the rods, re-taped them, slipped them back into the glued-up neck, and reassembled the instrument. It still looks like a stew, but action is good and it plays and sounds pretty close to a new bass. (I think it would be interesting to do a blind listening test on an old beater like this versus a brand new 4003...) BTW the neck on this one was nice and slim and quite stable.

That went quite fast... this glue/clamp thing doesn't take long to fully settle?

Cyanoacrylate (super glue)...overnight is fine.
I must point out that this whole repair thing happened a couple of months ago; I don't often post in real time.

And the total nerds want to know whether it's methyl 2-cyanoacrylate or ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate (they're really out there if they consider n-butyl or octyl caynoacrylates)...s4001 wrote:my dad just called it CA.

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
Re: THE WORST I'VE SEEN
All I know is don't touch your face until you're sure it's kicked off.
All I wanna do is rock!

Kira,
Sounds like there's a (possibly not too pleasant) story here.
Will heed your advice should I ever get involved with said glue.

Re: THE WORST I'VE SEEN
Hypothetically, how would you be able to touch your face if it's been kicked off?
