i usually just press down at the first and the last fret, and if the string height at the highest point (somewhere around the 7th fret or so) is about 2mm, i´m going to be happy. others may have more correct ways of telling, but this has always worked for me.daydreamdelay wrote: i think that's what just happened.. how do you tell for sure if a neck is slightly off?
I swear I remember hearing something about pressing down at a certain fret high on the board?
oh, but this is for guitars, i haven´t exactly found a sweet spot for bass yet, since i´ve never had to adjust my bass´ neck. but a good way of knowing the neck is too straight is if it buzzes on the first two or three frets even though the action is set high.
