little help?

Sign in to disble this ad
hey people, i had a sorta simple question that i was lookin for some help on, iv had this bass http://s294.photobucket.com/albums/m...Picture003.jpg for a few months now, and the other day i went to re-string her and and the neck was kinda wobbly and or loose. i know nothing about bass repair and it does kinda explain some weirdness ive encountered while playing her. shes been around the block a bit (it is an 81' bass and all...) and i don't wanna do anything that may damage her tone or anything like that, i just want her rock-solid and ready to thrash without injuring her anymore
thanks

nice bass. sounds like you need to tighten the bolts that hold the neck on.
if the holes on the body where the bolts go in are threaded you will either need to fill it with builders bog , or fill it tooth picks and glue then re screw it
