So just to give all ye all an update. Its nearly a month since I shimmed the p bass with 2 strips of fine grade sandpaper and I can report that there are zero issues so far. Bass is playing absolutely beautifully across the full fretboard. No sign of ski jump anywhere down near the neck pocket . Everything still playing clean and clear. By the way I am by no means a tech savvy guy for repairing basses. I just read a lot of stuff online (especially here) and had exhausted every other option so I kinda knew I needed a shim. I am over the moon with how it turned out . Many many tthanks for all the comments and advice on this thread. Basschat is a great forum to be part of Derek

Ive just finished putting in a double strip of very fine grade sandpaper and so far it's absolutely perfect for what I wanted to achieve. Ill report back in a couple of weeks Thanks so much for all the great tips and advice BTW this is my 2011 US american standard precision bass

Appreciate the offer mate but I'll prob be using some sandpaper or a business card. Was just curious if I needed to worry about potential neck issues

Hey folks I need to shim my p bass but I'm worried about causing a ski jump. Ive read loads about it and it varies depending on what forum you read . I was gonna use the old business card trick and curious to know have any of ye done this and what were the results Much appreciated Derek

Hey folks Can ye tell me the correct dimensions for the string ferrules on a 2011 American p bass Cheers

We did uptown for a few years but we dropped it cos it kinda started killing the vibe. Don't regret it either. Just wasnt sitting well in our set. I do play a 5 string L2500

Shut up and dance is our opening tune. It's a bonafide floor filler

Couldn't agree more 👍👍👍

Yeah mainly the last 10 yrs as the manager wants to bring in stuff from very recent and current chart stuff altho I'm not convinced it'll work too well. The average person at a wedding wants to hear all the floor fillers

Well folks I'm in a 5 piece wedding band and we are all in our 30s and 40s and we're very busy and good at what we do. We have a manager who doesn't be at any of the gigs. Our set consists of all the big numbers you'd expect to hear at a wedding and songs that we know works. There isn't much, if any, really modern stuff. Nothing form the last 10 years. Our manager wants us to throw in at least 8 new songs from the last decade but we're not sure they'll really work. What do ye all think when it comes to keeping the floor full at a wedding. Does a lot of the modern (last 10 yrs) music work in that setting? Many thanks Derek

Thank you so much everyone. You've all put my mind at ease so I'm away now to order one. I'll post pics when she arrives Muchos gracias

Hey folks I'm thinking of buying the markbass cmd 102p for gigging with a 5 piece wedding band and a 3 piece pub band. I play a 5 string g&l l2500 tribute and I'll have FOH support on both gigs. Will the combo sound nice and full for a stage monitor and will it handle the 5 string low end stuff pretty well? Many thanks Derek
