Hello, I'm planning a built for a 5-string Jazzbass. I love the tone of wenge necks but I was told that one piece wenge necks sometimes tended to move which were the reason that many companies building necks with wenge would combine them with other woods in a laminate. And in fact if you see a Wenge neck out there it mostly is laminated. Warmoth seems to be the only company to offer a one piece Wenge neck, as far as I know. Well ... Warmoth necks have stiffening rods which could be problem solving ...
I'm a little bit concerned about that since 5 bass strings are pulling a lot ... anyone out there with a 5-string Wenge neck and longtime experience with it? Thank you!
