Do you think if I ask extra-nicely and bat my eyelashes, that Warmoth can give me a Wizard back contour on a baritone neck? There isn't an option currently, but has it been done?
You make some valid points, but some of the newer Ibanez bass guitars have necks that are 19mm to 21mm in thickness (4 and 5 string models), which is basically the "Wizard-II" guitar neck profile.Cagey said:There's such a thing as leverage. Forces multiply. Even if the pull is less, if it's over a longer span, it ends up being more. The neck needs a certain amount of structural integrity to be reliable, repeatable and stable. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say if such a thing as is being proposed were possible and practical, it would already exist. But, check out some bass necks. They're thick, even though those strings aren't pulling very hard. Thing is, they're long. So, we get back to the leverage thing again.

AprioriMark said:Sure, other companies will offer thinner necks. I'd bet that those necks will run into issues. Warmoth's return rate is so low that you can't even believe it. I doubt you'll see their baritone necks have issues.
