Hi,
i have a Fender MIM 70’s re-issue with block inlays.
its got a Hipshot Bridge and it’s set at its lowest possible point before becoming redundant!
The neck I’ve pretty muched maxed out on truss rod.
It plays and sounds great, however the action is not as low as some of my other jazzes.
So, cut to the chase.
I’m thinking a shim at butt of the neck would reduce the action. Looking up on the web, there seems to be a lot of opinion on what materials to use etc. Business cards, must be wood for resonance! Etc. I did find an article where the bass in question had what looked to be a Fender installed branded plastic shim.
Intrigued to hear peoples thoughts and advice. To be honest I was just going to whack half a business card in there. Are there any pre-made options available in the UK?
Cheers
Tony
