A picture of my bass neck is in the above thread.

When Morrie made the neck piece the overall intonation of the horn seemed to improve. At least that is my impression and the impression of two professional players who have tried the instrument with both necks. When playing with the orginal piece the neck adjustment is pushed nearly all the way in for proper tuning, with the new neck it is pulled out close to 1/4 ".
Pulling out the adjustment raises the horn in relationship to my body which is a good thing and the reason I had the less angled neck made in the first place.

If my memory is correct Morrie machined the new bass sockets, the piece of cooper in between measures ~1.000 OD and ~.930 ID which does not appear to be a standard pipe deminsion in either english or metric.
