Is it unusual for the relief on the treble side to be greater than the bass side? The relief under the G on my bass measures .025 and under the E measures .015. The bass side is straight and the treble side has a slight bow. What can cause this?
I've read that if the sides are different, you would want the treble side to have less relief, not more. Any ideas?

IMO take it to an expert. Could be any number of things.

I ran into this exact same problem a short while ago. A slight tension adjustment with the truss rod got rid of most of the difference, but I still plan to take it into a technician soon to get looked at. I'd recommend you do the same.

Thanks for your advice. I've taken the guitar to a service center and the tech is working on it. I hope the guitar gets well soon because I really like it--a Mexican P-Bass Deluxe with active electronics. It sounds great even on a small Peavey practice amp and even better through a Fender amp.
