PB-30M Green Short Scale P-BASS! :)

I tend to go with the old manual coping saw/rasp/file method. Just grab a couple of beers and sit out on the front deck and work slowly. The slower I go, the more beer I get to drink. The first couple, I tried putting the neck in a pivoting vice. I wasn't clamping down on the frets, I was padding and clamping the sides of the neck. 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
