Precision Bass Final Update

All finished….

Now that the frets and fretboard are nicely finished the last thing to do is get the truss-rod tension set.  Back on to the jig, this time with strings at normal tension, and adjust the truss-rod so that there’s about .004″-.006″ gap at the 7th fret (half way up the neck).  Some people actually prefer a flat neck but I like a bit or relief.

Once that’s done bolt the neck back on the body and set up the action height and intonation.  Job done!
