    justa about to bolt on neck, and set aup bridge on JB4-A

    can i safely just push neck tight ito pocket and bolt in the commemnce brige measuring?

    Hey Guvna, yeah I'm all good thanks. Yeah I do that bolt on the neck first, measure the scale length and mark it with tape. Make sure you put the pickups in to try line up the poles with the strings. The bridges have ample movement so you don't have to have the bridge mm perfect but main thing is to line up the string offsets to edge of fingerboard and line up strings to poles. I love my JBA-4 it's my go to bass. Good luck buddy and keep hydrated on the job haha


    thanks for reply wokka, be sure to hydrate
