the head snapped off my bass last night! it's not a bolt on neck so I cant replace the whole thing..can it be repaired or should I just buy the whiskey and start crying now?

who does this sort of repair and how much should I expect to pay. It's a very clean break btw.

ta muchly.

Ouch.

How did you manage to snap it off? Repairing it is going to be tricky since, as you said, it's not a bolt-on so replacing the whole neck isn't an option. You should contact a professional luthier perhaps, since superglue isn't going to do the job in this case.
Perhaps the guys in Soundgear on South Richmond Street can recommend one - you should get in touch with them. Even though they do basic repairs, maintenance and electronics, i doubt they will be able to fix your problem (if it is fixable) but they might at least be able to point you in the right direction.

Good luck.

I reckon any repair will be temporary at best. The bass will never be right. Staying in tune will probably be a pain in the bum.

Best to accept it, get a new one, and be careful with it this time!

the head of my acoustic guitar snapped in half last year.... this fella (in galway, so probably no use to you) glued it and put it in a clamp over night ... keeps in tune just as well as before.... maybe basses are different ... cost me €60 ....
the guy in the local guitar shop said to ask the repair guy for a price first or else i'd get shafted
