Drooly.... :lol

I think this fellow is seriously looking for someone who can help him literally FIX the neck on his Bass or give him some good advice on how to do so as, according to him, the humidity in HK has caused it to warp out of shape...man, I can relate...our humidity runs 80-95% almost all the time...

I hope I'm right in saying He...not sure if he/she knows Chris or not, but obviously he/she doesn't speak English very well...hey, I don't speak a lick of Chinese, so this person is light years ahead of me!!

I could be wrong...damn sure wouldn't be the first time!!

:hm

Hey! Do you want to email me at 'bbchris@yahoo.com' and I'll forward you some contacts for guitar doctors? I keep my stuff in a room that is constantly dehumidified - you overseas folks cannot believe how humid it gets here...

Wanna bet??

Most folks from above the Tennessee line refer to the Deep South USA in the summertime as "Africa Hot"... :lol

Sincere apologies, if I misunderstood......

My best advice for bass repair/maintenance is to take it to a good luthier.
