My 1st post…I found set-up instructions on this site for my Jazz Bass and have a question about the terminology. What do the terms "BASS SIDE & TREBLE SIDE" used in the ACTION & PICKUPS sections refer to?
Also, how do I measure the neck radius of my bass?
Many thanks!

Hi Brad! Welcome to the forums.

OK bass side is the E string side and treble is the G string side.

What year is your jazz? Vintage basses have a 7 1/4 " radius while modern have a 9 1/2".

Thanks for your reply linnin… I understand the bass/treble thing now. Near as I can tell from the serial#MN9363830, it's a 1998-2002 MIM Standard. So it should be 9 1/2" radius?

You're welcome, Brad, and yes 9 1/2" is your radius.

Hi, got an addendum page on my website concerning do it yourself setups and also on that page is a neck gauge you can print out to use in determining neck radius. Pretty cool since it is a free gauge. Of course you can buy a metal or plastic one from stewmac. It is all on this page. http://brotherdave.com/add_maint.htm

The Gary Willis Bass Setup guide on that page is VERY worthwhile.
