It's a little over-engineered, that's all. No need for a wedge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek99 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I thought I needed a shim recently but it turned out the neck wasn’t quite sitting flat the material i found best was that thin plastic they used in o pack of socks and underwear to wrap the socks around. Easy to cut, thin and doesn’t squash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to cut, thin and doesn’t squash I use aluminium food trays - they’re easy to cut to strips and double over to get the required thickness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that idea, on the few occasions I’ve had to fit a shim I’ve used a strip of business card 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no no. I tried that and it sounded a bit Chinese. 😬 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek99 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 So why aren’t y’all out gigging rather than thinking up weak puns about takeaway food ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good God man, the last gig I played was around 1993. I'm still carefully planning my come-back. It ain't easy to find a top quality Grace Jones tribute act within a third of a mile of my location, and without a current bass player... plus I'd have to learn the set... 😬 edit: Actually, I can already play 'Private Life' all the way through. More or less. Edited November 2, 2019 by Ricky 4000 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stub Mandrel Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 My Performer has micro-tilt adjustment. I must admit I just backed it right off. Even so the action is lower than most guitars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
