Take off the neck. Put a chunk of 2x4 under the heel and one under the headstock. Use a clamp in the middle of the neck and put some clamping pressure on the neck to bow it. Wrap the neck in a heating pad while doing this. Leave it for about a day. Keep the truss rod nut loose while doing this.

I just finished doing this on a neck that was quite severly back bowed. Worked a charm.
