This started looking like a straight forward setup after I installed one of my own hand wound pickups. However, when I put strings on and started to make adjustments I found the neck was all over the place, with a hump around the 5th and 6th fret and a rise up at the end of the fingerboard. I straightened the neck as best I could and levelled the frets from this “average”. The results made the bass playable but it’s never going to be the best instrument.
