I just bought a Fender Jazz Bass really cheap. I'm excited to fix it up really nice. The things a piece of **** right now but it's gonna be NICE when its done. First thing that needs work is the neck. Its really bad. I can bend it back a full inch. I tried messing around with the "truss rod" thing but I have no idea what i'm doing. Should I clamp it down with C-clamps overnight? Can I fix it or can i just get a better neck?
Also, I'm planning on customizing every aspect of this guitar. Anyone know where I can get some cool knobs, toggle switch, keys, and pickups? I'm looking for something not too expensive but I don't want just cheap stuff, if you know what I mean...
Also, if i make this nice, and I mean REALLY nice. With totally unrecognizable, custom paint and whatnot... Is it still a Fender? Is there a way I can prove it's a legit Fender?
