Guitarfrenzy Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 I was looking at a friends Bass today because It didn't play the right way.. It's a P-Bass Fender... First looked at the neck.. and saw an obvious bow in neck from the tention and I checked the nut height.. it was fine.. nicely slotted.... then checked with a capo on the first fret.. and pressing down on the last fret and tightened the truss rod clockwise little by little with the strings loose until when I let it sit for a while it had .015 " on the 8th fret mark.. using a feeler gauge... so now that was set... but I have noticed that the neck where it joins the body is warped... so it still frets out in the higher frets even though I set up the right height at the 12th fret for each string .. with the bridge allen screws... Does anyone know of a way to reverse the warp.. or will it require a new neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Pull the neck and see if it has a shim in the neck pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarfrenzy Posted July 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 I just took it off and it didn't have a shim of any kind under it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott D. Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Could the frets be worn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
