Réglage Micro-tilt Fender : Help !

Salut,

'Mon' bassiste voudrait faire un règlage sur sa Jazz Bass. Il s'agit d'un modèle équipé du système 'Micro-tilt' permettant le basculement de tout le manche vers l'avant ou l'arrière. L'un de vous aurait il déjà effectué ce genre de reglage (sur une basse ou une gratte....) ? Est il nécessaire de devisser la plaque du manche ? Merci pour vos conseils

D'avance merci,

JM

J'avais pas vu ton post avant et j'ai répondu ce matin à quelqu'un qui posait une question analogue. Il faut bien sur desserrer le manche (surtout les 2 vis les plus près du réglage). Voici la procédure en Anglais:

Shimming/Micro-Tilt™ Adjustment

Shimming is a procedure used to adjust the pitch of the neck in relation to the body. A shim is placed in the neck pocket, underneath the butt-end of the neck. On many of the American series of guitars, a Micro-Tilt adjustment is offered. It replaces the need for a shim by using a hex screw against a plate installed in the butt-end of the neck. The need to adjust the pitch (raising the butt-end of the neck in the pocket, thereby pitching the neck back) of the neck occurs in situations where the string height is high and the action adjustment is as low as the adjustment will allow.

To properly shim a neck the neck needs to be removed from the neck pocket of the body. A shim approximately 1/4" wide x 1 3/4" long x .010" thick will raise the action approximately 1/32". For those guitars with the Micro-Tilt adjustment, loosen the two neck screws on both sides of the adjustment access hole on the neckplate by at least 4 full turns. Tighten the hex screw with an 1/8" hex wrench approximately 1/4 turn to raise the action approximately 1/32". Retighten the neck screws when the adjustment is complete. The pitch of the neck on your guitar has been preset at the factory and in most cases will not need to be adjusted. Note: If you feel you need this adjustment to be made and you're not comfortable with the procedure, take your guitar to your authorized Fender Service Center.
