We build the foundation so you can focus on the performance. I’m Steve, founder of Aurok Composites—a low-volume workshop crafting graphite composite replacement necks for bass. My story begins on stage. For twenty years, as a semi-pro bassist, I played graphite-necked basses by Alembic, Modulus, Moses, Musicman, Pangborn, Status, Steinberger and Vigier. What captivated me was their authoritative low-mid projection, the enhanced control over note dynamics, and the creative confidence they inspired. When the last remaining pioneer graphite neck manufacturer left the market recently, I embraced Richard Branson’s mantra: “Screw it, let’s do it” and set up Aurok Composites. I wanted to ensure the global bass playing community had ongoing access to graphite composite necks.
Today, we handcraft necks for legendary Leo-designed basses. Our mission is to deliver that same powerful low-end, enhanced articulation, and unwavering stability—transforming your instrument without losing its soul. This is for players who demand consistency, reduced playing effort, and the elimination of dead spots, in any environment.
Long-term, we’re here to define a new standard in performance for graphite necks. As a small, agile team, we value every customer and offer true customization—from OEM partnerships to building directly from your 3D models.
