Do a search with the word shim and you should be able to find a thread. Doesn't matter how many bolts you have, 3, 4, 5, or 6, it works regardless if the shim is actually needed. Make sur that your truss rod is set correctly first!

I use cut strips of business cards.
Get a preliminary "OK" setup and go with it for a week or two to see if the neck moves further or if you need to add/subtract shim material.
Makes unplayable basses very useful.....

thanks guys.some great ideas... the three bolt has tilt only not not looking for the tilt need the entire height raised and dont wqatn to lose tone at the joint so was thinking hard wood veneer or plastic...or card stock but cut for the entire heel pocket
