DESCRIPTION

When you are investing time into building a custom bass neck, the structural integrity of the neck is one of the most critical elements of the entire project. The neck entirely dictates the playability, intonation, and long-term reliability of your instrument. Installing a set of Fat Bass Tone Carbon Fiber Rods is a great addition to your build that makes sure you have a neck that can hold up to any weather conditions and minimize the occurrence of dead spots.

Wood is an organic material. Even carefully dried pieces can warp, twist, or bow when exposed to changing humidity and temperature on the road. By reinforcing your neck with these rigid carbon fiber inserts alongside your adjustable truss rod, you dramatically increase the overall stiffness of the wood. This added support ensures that you can set your string action low with the confidence that it will stay there.

One of the most frustrating issues with traditional wooden bass necks is the presence of dead spots, frets where the note decays prematurely. The stiffness of these carbon fiber rods helps eliminate dead spots while providing even, consistent sustain across the entire fretboard.

The lightweight nature of carbon fiber means you gain all of this structural strength without adding unnecessary weight that could contribute to neck dive. These rods fit a wide variety of bass scale lengths. Whether you are routing a neck for a standard four-string or an extended-range six-string bass, these carbon fiber rods will help improve your neck's stability.

Adding carbon fiber is a technique used by top luthiers to guarantee premium performance. If you are a dedicated DIY builder or a professional luthier looking to elevate your next project, check out these Fat Bass Tone Carbon Fiber Rods.

These carbon fiber rods will typically fit in the slot created by a standard table saw blade.

Carbon fiber rods are sold individually.
