BigKahuna855 Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 up in massachusetts, it is beginning to get cold. the air is changing. my question is this: will this change in temperature affect the neck at all? and if so, should i take it to a luthier to get the neck adjusted?

BenLoy Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 It will affect your neck. You may need to adjust the truss rod. Send it to a repair guy if you're afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Bordwell Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 It is more the change in humidity than the temperature. You could get a humidifier for your house to deal with the dry air in the winter. www.cbbasses.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g. Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 That's one way some case designs are superior - insulation. To and from gigs here in Montana and other northern climes can somnetimes be bad enough. And touring guys sometimes DO have to leave instruments in a trailer or whatever. .

Mike H. Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 The cold weather also brings dry air. Dry air sucks humidity from the neck and causes "relief" and a concave curve to the neck resulting in higher action. Taking it to your local music store/pro shop wouldn't be a bad idea. http://www.identity5.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
