Shaping a Neck

Back to bass-ics: Bolt on necks at times need to be shimmed to achieve the correct neck to body offset angle. This determines the string height above the fretboard, sustain & tone and ultimately the playing experience. This 1970s Fender Precision bass had multiple sheets of thick cardboard shims to improve the action, however this was robbing the instrument of tone and sustain. Now replaced with a custom shaped hardwood shim, this fretless bass is back in the game and ready to groove… 💪🏼 #gray
