Bass clarinet intonation issues

Author: jordan.1210

I have a Bundy bass clarinet that I’d like to use but it has some tuning issues. With the mouthpiece and neck pushed all the way in, it plays nearly a quarter tone sharp. To get it in tune, I have to pull the neck out until it reaches the point where air would begin to leak out the slit in the body left for tightening the neck in and I have to pull the mouthpiece out a few mm. The instrument is in tune with itself so I think it might be because the neck is too short. Would getting a new neck resolve this issue? If it can, how can I find a better neck (length, fit, etc)
