    Necks Shimmed by the Factory? WTH?

    I just read that Ibanez uses neck join shims in the manufacturing of some basses. Is this really a thing? When I buy a new bass, certainly anything approaching or exceeding a thousand USD, I expect it to be designed and built well enough to not need a shim from the factory! Trust me, I am not...

    I bought this headless bass used and the seller didn't have any information on who built it. He said he bought it as a Status Bass. But there is no markings whatsoever on it to identify it.
