Kramer Aluminum guitars.

Ive owned a few but prefer the Beans to them. I will say Kramer is the most successful to date with the metal necks. Kudos to him for making them work on a mass level.

As for other companies making metal necked guitars, Id guess its just expense as theres no price cut for bulk metal, its sold by the pound no matter what the volume were wood is quite different. Its also a very limited market.

This is off topic but has anyone seen these:

I've played around on one of those in a guitar store. It sounded kind of cool in a funky, couldn't see using it all the time kind of way. It's a wooden neck bolted to an aluminum body. It also had some kind of weird rotary switch tone control thing, seemed to be doing something other than a simple treble roll off. This was a while ago and I've only seen the one.

My first bass was a Tokai jazz bass copy, which in retrospect was not half bad. They seem to be pretty well regarded in terms of quality.

I actually see 3 musicmans in this photo, the one on the road case at the very left edge is a 2x12 combo and directly to its right is a head on a 2x12 ported cab, both MM. I have one of those ported cabs and have had one of the combos with tube phase inverter and have played a half dozen with just solid state pi, I've gotten good sound out of all of them. I like them quite a bit. I think I see a couple EH pedals on the ground too, treble booster maybe?

As for Kramers, I've played 3 basses and lusted after these for a while, but the prices seem high for what you get, the 450b I played had a warped neck too and I don't even wanna think of what it would take to fix. I think I'll stick with my G&L
