RE: bass necks: To bend or not to bend?

Theres a fella back east that makes custom necks amd MPs for bass clarinets but I can't remmenber his name. Maybe someone on the bulletin here can help. As for bending the neck, you would have to have access to a good mandrel type pipe bender or or use the packed sand & torch method. I've used the sand and torch method to make custom pipes for motorcycles but it takes a lot of practice to get a smooth, tight bend without without kinks or ripples and I would be a little reluctant to try it on an expencive BC neck.
