Bass fell over and broke a bit

Managed to knock me bass over on Saturday, fell on it's front and the lacquer on the back of then neck has cracked a bit round the skunk stripe.

It's a VM Jazz, doesn't stand me at much but I am very partial to it and it's been my gigging bass since I got it about 2 years ago.

It plays fine and there's no other damage that I can see but the lacquer is cracked, raised a bit and I can feel it under my hand 

so I need to sort it. Not worried about preserving a finish etc just want it back to being smooth.

Can I just sand it smooth or am I missing something ?

If the paper you’ve got doesn’t do it les let me know and I’ll post you some from my workshop.

Thank you that's really kind of you. I think I've sorted it. It's smooth again and I can't feel any of the abrasions. Think I can feel a little where the lacquer has been rubbed off but I don't know how much of that is cos' I'm looking for it. Not sure it'll make any difference in anger,

cheers
