I don't think I did enough research before ordering my precision bass neck - it's 43mm wide at the nut and a standard profile, which apparently is pretty standard for a vintage P bass... I just wish I had access to a vintage P so I would have known this is not for me ![Face with tears of joy :joy: 😂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f602.png)
![Sad but relieved face :disappointed_relieved: 😥](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f625.png)
Selling this neck and replacing new neck is likely to put me in the hole for $750 (low resale, high shipping and import fees), so I might look to resolve in my own workshop.
Just how much meat is on the profile before I am likely to reveal the truss rod? I'll look to take 1 - 2 mm off to emulate a slim profile, but not sure if the truss rod sits deeper in standard profile (vs slim) or if it's same same.
And anything I need to know about working roasted maple prior to getting started? Will be my first time working on this wood type.
