But not wanting to tighten too much for fear of damaging frets or the neck itself, I found it moved around too much and wasn't that great an option. The last one I did, I just sat in a comfy chair and held onto the neck with one hand, used my legs and the chair to brace it and cut with the other hand. I found this a much easier option and ended up only being a two beer job including the filing time.
That sounds like a nice relaxing way to dp it mate , and i wouldve dobe it that way myself if my old man didnt come to the rescue 😆
Was kinda stressful and fast doin it this way but very effective and its a cool story i get to tell about this bass now hahaha
