neck bowing after adjustment?

[tahoebass92]

so i adjusted the neck on my jazz and was able to allieviate all fret buzz. but, the neck looks pretty bowed. is it safe for the neck to have a slight bow? or should i try to fix this?

Read through the Setup Sticky links and perform the setup again for best results. Minor adjustment will need to be made for your playing style.

Yes - in fact it should have a slight bow. Download this - it's an excellent setup guide and discusses the 'bow' in detail: http://www.jerzydrozdbasses.com/ultimate-guide-to-perfect-bass-setup.html
