The neck and the rosewood fretboard are worth AT LEAST the price of the whole bass. You could have a collection of nice necks and f-boards with which to do some experimenting with building guitars if you weren’t so busy sucking each other off verbally. have i said yet how much I hate your weak, whiny asses? Well, that goes quadruple, azz’oles. Buncha critics 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I haven't begun to start thinking about my entry for Basschat Post of the Year, and then this turns up.

Well, you say that, but I think it's important to understand that you not understanding everything in order to understand it is quite understandable given the circumstances.

This wedge does actually get slightly thicker towards the back giving a little tilt but I think a single partial shim would have left quite an unsightly gap as it would have necessitated quite an angle! Having the shim at one end often works, but also causes its own problems. You are adding a tilt to the "bow" you need to get adequate relief and that can cause fret buzz/high frets from around fret 14. Then you have to increase the action to reduce the buzz or file a ramp in the frets at the dusty end.

You won't change the shape of the neck, you just change the required height of the saddles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 I don’t think I the saddles would have gone high enough on this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
