Hello,

Well after years of dreaming of getting a Magnum bass I finally found one at the right time. I picked up a Magnum III that looks awesome sounds even better but... it has a crack running along the back of the headstock. It looks as if it was repaired awhile ago with wood scews. I have no idea if there is a more reliable way to fix the crack or if my best bet is to hope for the best and start looking for a replacement neck. If the crack does not grow and continues to not effect the sound I could live with it. I would rather have an undamaged neck but I'm just looking for advice.

Thanks for any help

You Magnum dudes are coming out of the woodwork. Sounds like you need the help of the BFLG

at least he didn't use drywall screws

you're update to full member now, enjoy the benefits by first posting in the BFLG section. There's a bunch of Young Frankensteins over there that would love to chime in I'm sure.
