Delexe 5 New 51 Slab Swamp Ash with Maple Tele Neck.
Finished with Teak Oil and a Poly Wipe On
When I set out to buy a 5 string bass i pondered making a through neck from a Carvin blank. I wanted to make sure the low b was tight, and had read that a through neck would help with that but a bolt on could have a very tight low b. I read that stiffening rods in a bolt on would give a tight low b. When I saw a tele maple 5 string deluxe for $155 at warmoth used stiffening rods, I made my choice..
I also read that stringing the low b through the body would also increase the tension of the string and improve the. I Modified the bridge to allow for low b string to load through the body (others load through the bridge) for tigher tension to prevent having a flabby sounding low b.
