thanks for help, but I've just had a look at the thread you posted in the link you gave me yet, just before starting mine....and I've started mine just because in the thread you posted they talk about the neck angle on a bolt on instrument giving detailed informations about it too, of course, wonderful to read....but I think my problem is a little bit different because it deals with a neck which can't be angled at the point in which the neck itself passes through the body. So, I was asking your help about this specific problem, but probably I've made a mess and what I was asking was not so clear. So how can I reproduce that angle on a neck through body instrument? I was thinking about making a sort of "step" just at the end of the fingerboard and lower the plane of the body wings and of the neck from there on in the portion of it that crosses the body. This to avoid digging in the wood to lower the bridge in the place where it will sit, that not seems to be the solution i'm looking for.... I've got a sort of diagram, if i could only post it maybe it would be a little bit clear, but I don't know how to attach it to this message,,, . thanks for your kind help

I'm a newby from italy and I'm building my first bass. It's a 4 string neckthrough; I have three pieces: two wings and the neck. The neck obviously goes stright from the headstock to the end of the bass body. I'm going to glue the wings on each side of it, but I can't understand how to set a neck "angle" (or better... I can't understand how to set any angle having a neck which goes stright all along the instrument!!!) to get the lowest action of the strings considering that the neck is one stright piece of woods glued toghether. I'm not talking about the headstock angle, but i'm talking about the angle between the neck and the body like the one that you can find at the joint between body and neck on a bolt on bass. How can I reproduce that angle (if necessary) on the neckthrough??? it's impossible!!! the solution I found was to carve a little step on the neck at the end of the fingerboard to lower the whole plane of the neck in the portion of it that runs through the body (from the end of the fingerboard to the end of the bass). I'm not sure that's the right solution, but what else? the bridge I want to put on is an hipshot A class bridge, so I have to consider the height of it and lower the plane of the body and neck (from the end of the fingerboard on) consequenty with respect to the fingerboard and nut height... is that right? I hope my question to be clear... sorry for bad english.... thanks for any kind help
