Funny how one persons unnecessary piece of kit is another persons go-to, indispensable tool...

I essentially fully rough out my necks on my tablesaw, almost nothing is done on the band saw. I rough-cut my blanks, square cut for register, cut the neck angle on the heel, cut the scarf for the headstock if I am doing that, cut the slot for the truss rod all on the table saw. The only thing I do on the bandsaw is rough cut the side shape of the neck, and not even that if I am doing a stacked heel. I cut the cheeks with the router jig, ditto headstock shape. In my world-view, a table saw is capable of precise machining while a bandsaw is not precise at all. Funny how you get stuck in ways of doing things.
