How heavy are your necks?

Hey people!

(Please let me know if the question is authorized, I will take it down if not)

I am being tasked to design a custom aluminum neck for a client, and while I have experience with wooden ones, I haven't had the chance to own an aluminum neck instrument.

My straightforward question to you all is, how heavy are your necks? And more specifically, are the fretboards glued/bolted on, or is it made from a one-piece billet

I am trying to put a target weight on the design, and see what is currently being made out there as a reference.

Thanks for your help!

Bass almost complete: now with aluminum neck!

Was waiting for Hipshot to ship the drop tuner I ordered but they’re taking forever, so decided to put it on anyways!

it's been a long road, but I finally got one.

the quality is honestly way beyond my expectations. really nice profile, not too thin or too thick. still pretty heavy even with the chambering though lol.

Finally Finished Building My Aluminati Baritone Esquire

Finally finished building this one after about a year of gradually accumulating parts. I’ve got long arms and have an almost religious hatred of neck pickups, so a baritone esquire seemed like the perfect choice.

The body is a single piece of Swamp Ash that I CNCed into shape; it’s quite weighty. I put a Fralin Split Steel Poled Tele pickup in the bridge position, it’s effectively a noiseless P90, pairs well with egregious levels of fuzz. I’ve truly never known an instrument that can sustain like this…

Aluminum neck for yamaha Pacifica neck pocket?

Im currently in the process of modding out a Yamaha pacifica with a bunch of parts. Im considering getting an aluminum neck for it, but im not super sure. It has a differently sized neck pocket than the fender sizes most of the makers sell them in. Are there any out there that do other sizes?

Parting with my Baguley Dico

Having acquired a few too many aluminum necks, I've decided to part with my Dico. I have it up for sale at my local shop in Central PA if you're local and want to check it out!

Mostly finished P bass w/ Hoxey neck

I got excited and took pics before I got the strings on. Still haven't gotten it wired up because it's hard to find the space and time between work and and the baby. I've never played a bass that was this loud and resonant unplugged tho. Only thing that's left is finding time to pull out the soldering iron and making a minor adjustment to the nut and maybe experimenting a bit more with the shim, but I'm super happy with it so far.
