The bass is one that I made myself. It is a four string NT with a Jatoba board. Ill try to attach some picture.
The clicking is from the strings hitting the end of the fingerboard. The neck is very nearly straight. What I notice is that if I "fret" a string around say the second fret there is more distance between the string and board around the 15 fret than there is at the 24th. I am thinking if I sand down the last few inches of the FB it would help.
Does this make sense? | Nice looking bass! Love the "Skunk-Stripe"!
Makes sense... I had a search for "falloff" around here & came up with these two threads: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showth...ff#post3565630 basses for newbies (SX batch build thread)
They're both about fretted basses, but the principle is the same.
Sounds like you've already identified the solution as well.
Happy mwaaah-ing.
