Maybe there is another crew in LMI... they answered in about 5 minutes but nothing usable. So I guess I'll have to buy the whole board from McMaster if they are not interested in cutting smaller piece? I'll have to pay unnecessary 60 bucks for huge piece plus shipping. Damn Modulus are still in business, yes. Just The Flea bass it isn't anymore Flea, now it's Funk Unlimited. The most recognizable bass from Modulus now bears another name... I don't know what to say about that. Plus that bass it's Flea's design and setup. Nobody has an excess piece?

I contacted both LMI and Charles Fox about grade and gluing. LMI replied that is no familiar with phenolic! However, the pieces of Garolite XX I've found on McMaster are too big! 24"x36" for $60. I don't need that much. Contacted them 10h ago for a smaller piece but still no answer... although on the site says they will answer you in about an hour. How did you guys bought small pieces? Maybe anyone have to sell some piece?

About the stiffness is not much a problem, the neck is from carbon-fiber, not wood. I like to achieve a result something like Modulus, I like the sound they produce a lot. I also found out that they use paper based phenolic. And the surface is pure black with no or very little grain what I'm after. Fookgub, are you talking about problems with it only for bonding? I looked around the McMaster-Car site and found a lot of grades of Garolite. Which is the best for fretboards? There are specs listed for each one but still... any recommendations? I'm thinking of the XX grade and the graphite reinforced for better stability... or maybe any other grade?

Hi there, On my bass project, I want to install black phenolic as fretboard. But where can I find in small quantities? I've searched almost everywhere and still out of luck. I asked Norplex-Micarta at their official site, they have what I need, and when they heard that I need only 2 pieces conversation was over! Damn I want paper based phenolic, a grade that will fit this application of course and not to be heavy. I'm concerned on the necks' weight. Can someone help me with this and recommend a suitable grade? If someone knows where can I buy or maybe someone have to sold some piece. Thanks!
