Some of you know that I have a mess of 60s and 70s Guild basses (after accumulating them for 48 years). I've VERY rarely attempted to adjust the necks, because there are so many people more competent than me. But times are the times they are.
I believe my fretless M-85 needs a neck tweak. I tried to use it on a collaboration with Susanna Hoffs and Rusty Anderson last week (doing Petty's "Free Falling", for his 70th birthday), and the closed A (E string) sucked right out. I ended up using a long-scale Modulus fretless with a Dark Star.
I'm informed that Guild specs are different than Gibson specs. Can someone point me to the correct adjustment tool for a '68 Guild bass neck?
RT gives his blessing, by the way.
