SETUP & INSPECTED BY OUR LUTHIER

Tech Notes: This bass came to us with older EMG pickups, we decided to rewire the guitar with Fender Custom Shop 60's Jazz Pickups, and new high quality potentiometers and a NOS .047uF capacitor. These pickups sound incredible in the bass. We restrung the bass with quality D'Addario XL strings of 45-100. The bass is playing at a nice medium action of 7/64" on the low E and 6/64" on the high G. The neck has slightly uneven relief with just a bit more relief on the high G side and slightly less on the low E side. Additionally, this bass has a bit of a "ski ramp" at the highest frets and frets 17-19 fret out. To help alleviate the issue we made a partial neck shim for the pocket out of solid maple, specifically partial to help counteract the ramp at the end. From frets 12-17 it is very playable but with a little buzz. From 1-12 it is extremely playable and a joy to play, both comfortable and little to no buzz. It appears the control plate is not original, and the finger rest and neck pickup ashtray cover is missing. G tuner slightly bent, doesn't affect anything.
