Setup - Squier Precision Affinity electric bass

Got in this un-played Squier recently and the owner wanted it setup to play rock style music. The neck was severely bowed and as a result the action was quite high.
  • Adjust bowed neck
  • Sand and chisel away finish in neck pocket
  • Shim back of neck pocket to even out action
  • Check and test electronics for any issues
  • Restring with Ernie Ball slinky
