Dead spots are abnormally fast decays of the fundamental tone on stringed instruments and are caused by a damping of the string's vibrations at a given note, due to energy transfer from the string to the instrument body. A "cure" is to use a graphite bass neck, which by nature of its molecular properties, moves the dead spot higher in the frequency range, and out of the most used region of the neck.
