Doesn't Oteill endorse Modulus?  Say no more!

Although, for a while, Music Man offered a graphite neck option
factory-installed.  Can't remember who made the necks...

But don't many of the newer Fender basses have carbon
reinforcement in addition to a steel truss rod, a la Carvin?  Gives you
traditional looks with enhanced stability.  I'm thinking of incorporating
carbon reinforcement into a guitar I'm building now, as I use
somewhat heavy strings [for a r'n'r player] and the truss rod on my
Amer. Std. Strat is already maxed out...
