Storing a neck that is not attached to the bass

[Jeffskowski]

Hi all

I have recently managed to obtain the original fretless neck for my '81 Stingray. Have been without it for about 20 years!
I have a custom fretted neck that I play so won't be fitting it any time soon so need some advice on the best way to store it.

 

Truss rod as is or lose?

With some sort of humidifier pack to maintain humidity?

Wrapped in paper, in an bag, case, wooden box?

 

Any help would be very much appreciated

Cheers
Jeff

Buy a cheap body and bridge and keep it at tension 👍

Then maybe a nice pre and a pickup, have it refinished and...

Not a bad idea but I think just screwing it to a piece of stable timber and adding a bridge would save buying a body 👍
