As I was watching the video, I was thinking how easy it'd be for your dominate hand take off more material than your non-dominant. Looking forward to part 2. Thanks Steve.
Great video! I've been thinking of getting the Glarry Precision bass and Jazz bass recently, but I noticed they use the same Precision-sized neck on both their P-basses and their J-basses, so it got me wondering if a reshaping for the J-bass would be that difficult. I don't have tools, so it would definitely be done by hand, just like this. Thanks for doing it before me, so that I can see that it shouldn't be too difficult at all. I have a Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass that should make for an excellent measurement guide. Edit: Just realized the Jaguar Bass is short scale, so the measurements wouldn't match. I'll just have to screenshot the measurements in your video. 😜
@@ManotickGuitarTech Oh for sure. No way I'd do it on something expensive without a lot of experience first. If you mess up a Glarry, you can just sell off the body and reinvest into another practice Glarry. 😋
I have no qualms about reshaping necks after doing this twice: once on a kit guitar neck (Solo) and a Chinese Epiphone Casino Coupe. I prefer modern C shapes and both of those necks felt like baseball bats. Epiphone tends to put U shaped necks which are just horrible. Why can't Epiphone just CNC modern neck profiles? I've had a lot of experience shaping large Radio Control model airplane wing leading edge profiles, so this was no different. I used a box cutter blade to scrape the poly off to bare wood which was a royal pain. I can't stand poly on necks either, which is another gripe I have with Epiphone. I have a Squire Tele that has a deep C profile....I might thin that out at some point.
First to say I really enjoy your channel. With this bass I think you might be best to fit a new nut. I just measured the string spacing at the nut on my p-bass and jazz bass and there is about a 1 millimeter difference between each string, that would be 3mm between E and G strings. Still I have to say it looks pretty good so far.

Great job! Plan the work and work the plan. Clearly a massive improvement. Thank you.
exactly...

Definitely worth doing on an inexpensive bass the first time

Thanks- for now I will reuse the nut and the get a graphtec one in the future
Great work!
good job!
That headstock is way off. Looks like a Chender. Good job though!
I've never seen a reshaping of a p bass neck before.
Now you have 😂
