BetaFunk Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I have a 4 string bass with roughly a Precision type of neck but would prefer it to be a slimmer Jazz type. i will contact a luthier this week but in the meantime wondered if anyone has had this done and approximately how much it would cost.

tommorichards Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 i think geddy lee of rush has done it with one of his old necks, hence the slimmer neck on his sig model. I think it takes sandpaper and time, but going too far could result in a bow that cant be fixed with a truss rod, but i dont know about a cost with a luthier doing it. it might be better finding a slimmer neck that can fit your bass.

3below Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Is it a bolt on neck? If so will probably be cheaper to find a replacement rather than have reprofiled and refinished. YMMV. Quote
