    This bass has a ski jump at the 14th fret upwards due to the tension. Might have to get aggressive with those high frets with a file.

    I’ve only gone and done it. It’s not a triple omega, it’s my own crossover between a Rickenbacker 620 and some kind of Alembic. And it is 8-stringy

    Thinking of putting a plate a la Fender at the neck heel, there’s not a lot of wood to wood contact and the bottom of the neck pocket is pretty thin. Anyone else done this or is it not a problem?

    Slight concern: the Rick bass pickup height and the shimmed neck height. Will the pickup have to be surface mounted like a 6-string 330 or 360?
