P bass special. Squier. 2010 model they quit making!!
Had this thing for about 5 months. After adjusting things to get the string action lower, I noticed an oddity on the neck.
When looking down the neck from nut to heel: on the E string side I managed to get the neck straight.
From the G string side: It is straight (level) in the heel area, about frets 16-20. But coming up from there to the nut there is a slight bow which can be seen. It is (
thank god) bowed in the right direction. [there was a small piece of sand paper already in the pocket from the factory].
1 week later: I shimmed the neck pocket to help get the strings lower. Keep in mind this was also partially due to replacing the bent-metal Fender calls a bridge with a little more robust animal called CV'60 J bass bridge in chrome. It is heavier & styled like the Gotoh 201. Improved intonation.
The neck syndrome was there before replacing the bridge which did gain me some sustain.
So my question is:
1. Do i replace my neck with a VMJ '70 or '77, CV '60 J bass or Warmoth, Allparts etc, etc.
2. Or tell me about Luthiery magic you guys have. I work in telecommunication and know that 'once you let the magic smoke out, it can't be put back in'.
Tell me your views, as I still feel as the neck maybe twisted.
New neck or not??
