sk8 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 appears all the abuse and crap storing i gave my bass in my teens finally took its toll. The truss rod could no longer keep the neck straight and gave up the ghost. Damn, i'm going to have to buy a new bass! What to choose........................ Thinks its going to be a new Precision.

sk8 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 not really worth the expense or effort as its an old hohner and the neck is really warped anyhoo. Might do it as a project later.
