Isn't it true with wood that the more pieces you can glue together that the stronger, more rigid and more resistant to warping with weather changes the end result will be?

For what it's worth my bass tends to need very little truss rod adjustment as the seasons change but that's one of those things that has become less and less as the years have gone by. But last year we had a cold winter(dry inside) and a sudden warm spring(humid) that sent it into a fit. The relief changed RADICALLY and I talked to a guy in St Louis Skip Goez who does great guitar word about it and he said that everybody is having the same problem and it's the weather! I bet yours will be more stable in times like that what are you going to do for a fretboard?
