Hi All, I'm preparing to glue the bass neck to the body and it seems like the neck wood is softer than the ash body,
Also, it's a composite glue job - three pieces of wood glued together to form the head, neck and base that will ultimately mate with the body.
As well, to get the neck flat for fret leveling, I had to completely loosen the tie rod.
Gluing in the neck permanently is a pretty big commitment to the project:
1) based on the above, should I have any concerns?
2) is using a base plate with screws an option, given how thin the neck cradle bottom is?
Thank you, b
