Martin Penning
fine stringed instrument maker

With kind permission from luthier Jim Ham I have used his design for a travel neck.

It incorporates a carbon fibre truss rod which is set through the length of the neck and continuing through the neck root. This gives a great deal of strength and means that the main assembly bolt connects through the carbon fibre into the neck socket for a solid connection.

Another great feature of Jim`s design is that the string height can be adjusted from the back of the bass under the button using an allen key.
