    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?

    Is there a significant difference in tone between neck-through and bolt-on basses?

    I'm currently looking at 2 basses, both from the same builder. One is a bolt-on body style and the other a neck-through. The neck-through, however, is roughly $2k more than the bolt-on. Both are gorgeous basses and have similar wood combinations. My question is this; is it worth it in tonal...
