Humidity Woes

[MrWayne]

Living in Alabama I've gotten tired of fighting the humid summers and and dry indoor air in the winter.
Can anybody suggest any composite or carbon fiber bass guitars, solid body or acoustic,
that won't break the bank?

How much would break the bank? What is your budget? You might also have good luck with a roasted maple or aluminum neck.

I top out at about $1500 and that is out the door with shipping and taxes included.
I hadn't considered roasted maple or an aluminum neck. I didn't even know they made aluminum neck guitars.
Thanks.

Check out the Aluminum Neck Club thread in this here forum.
There’re more than a few builders of Fender compatible bolt-on aluminum necks. They usually run around $800 new. Definitely the more affordable way to go IMO

A Robot Graves neck is on my bucket list:
700 Series - 34" Bass Neck — Robot Graves Industries

Agreed, if you want something you'll never have to think about in regards to humidity go with an aluminum neck. You may already have a bass it will fit.

How about a Fender or MM-style bass with a Status Graphite neck?

There's a Stingray clone with graphite neck in the classifieds right now for cheap.
If you deal with a 10 lb. instrument this would be my recommendation.
