Glad you’re on here, I found your website very helpful in the past, it’s a good resource.

One thing I try to remember with these types of problems is that lots of times anything short of removing the fingerboard and replacing the rod may not be a lasting fix. There’s no guarantee that it will stay fixed for any length of time.
Another solution might be to offer to order a new neck from Allparts and perform the fretwork, tuner installation, mount and setup services. You can get setup as a dealer and make a profit on the neck as well. Good luck on this repair, Randal.

Have you tried using a capo or clamp to fret notes while using your fretting hand to “feel” for the source of the buzz? Maybe even getting someone to play the bass as you describe while searching for the source using both hands and a closer ear to the instrument.

Wish I had more experience with this thing, but it did get a guitar back in shape a couple of years ago. This was the opposite of your situation, I suspect the neck had been leaned up against something and took to this orientation. My first attempts at straightening were failures, working with fret beams and a pvc heating blanket I couldn’t achieve a temperature hot enough to relieve the bow after unclamping the rig. Not to be defeated I got the Aria neck straightening contraption from a friendly Japanese seller on EBay. These were sold in the late 70’s/80’s and seemingly disappeared until recently. I worked with heat and clamping pressure to get some relief back into the neck and open strings ringing nicely again. I was very happy with it when left a couple of weeks afterwards. It left a couple of weeks later, no issues when the customer picked it up. I have not heard back, but I made no guarantee that it would stay. Now, if I can get a few more jobs to pay for this damn thing. 😂

Here’s the dimensions of those screws if you have access to a hardware store you might be able to find something close enough.

Probably just a tad dark, as my test piece was a better match, but I think my guy will be happy with it. Thanks for the help, my friends.

Just passing along a suggestion. Good luck on your project.

I don’t think the filter media is much different in lower price vs. mids. This is 2 years worth on one filter with a good amount of use. I also like being able to pinpoint where I’m soldering with the flexible hose.
