- - - - - BASS REPAIR : SNAPPED HEADSTOCK - - - - -

UPDATED OCTOBER 8 2017: My own beloved bass got snapped just weeks after getting the neck as fast as a racehorse and adding some ground-wound strings to make it the most playable bass I've ever picked up... sob. Luckily it broke pretty cleanly at the glue joint. Unluckily the truss rod got bent into a slight S shape so the only way to get the headstock and piece of fretboard glued in place was to steam the fretboard off and straighten the rod. Way more scary than ironing a Hawaiian shirt.
