Jeez...here's a guy who's only had bad luck:

"You can't have a wooden instrument without dead spots--it's just the laws
of physics"

I can't find any dead spots on my Peavey Cirrus neck. Some slight volume
differences, but no dead spots like the Fender in the store.


I have had many basses in my life.
From cheap knockoffs to expensive Alembic's.
I only had one bass with notable dead spots.
1977 Jazz.
If that means anything.
