testing for upper fingerboard hump

[noam]

When checking neck relief, I've read here that it's best to depress the string(s) at the 1st and 13th frets... if that result shows less relief than the amount seen when depressing at the 1st and 24th frets, does that mean the fingerboard has a hump near the body, or is there a better way to test for this?

Thanks

straight edge on the 12th to last fret, see if it rocks a bit. But why worry about it if your bass plays good? OCD? Not unusual around here, we need a thread for it!!
