I decided to shim the neck on my bass this morning. The laws of physics are not my freind. I took the neck off and on over a dozen times. each time id try and compensate to get the right string heighth and it'd be either tpoo high or too low, and I just DONT KNOW WHY..AND iLL NEVER KNOW WHY. I mean, Ive had pretty good luck shimming guitar necks, but this thing..I'd move it a tiny tiny bit itd be too high..off comest he neck move it a tiny tiny bit it'd be too low..over and over and over.
I also stripped the screwholes finally, and doweled them up and tried again and again and it wouldnt sit right and then I couldnt take it no more..So I sanpped, and smashed the guitar neck on the ground. I dont feel any better either.I know its not exactly brilliant.
The neck was a bit tweaked though anyway, but it was an old Japanese bass, and Ive never seen tighter tolerances in the neck pocket to neck fit on any guitar in my life- Warmoth and Fender are a joke by comparison..this thing should have had a vice to try and put the neck back in the pocket.
This is terrible, Im having a bad day already;
