Your cart is empty.This is the only true way to check for straightness before leveling your frets. Essential for proper truss rod adjustment. 1/8”x1.5"x23.5" Machined Edge 6061 Aluminum. One side is for 34”(Fen.) scale basses, and the other side is for 35” (most 5 string) scale basses. CNC precision machined for a flatness of +/- .001" Good to use with 18 or 20 fret necks..doesn't matter. Use with strings on or off. Notched to the 19th fret with clearance for more frets and clearance for the nut on the other end. Covers the entire length for the neck . You can also place on top of the frets (off the cut notches) to use as a Standard Straightedge to check fret wear and level. If you’re not sure scale length of your bass... measure from the edge of the nut (headstock) to the center of the 12th fret. It should be about 17” or 17.5” +/- 1/16”

Very nice for bass guitar as long as it's a 34 or 35 inch scale. I don't personally have a 30" scale bass yet so it works perfectly. Unlike the one I bought for guitar a few months back, this one is actually "perfectly" straight. Very nice quality for the price.

Im a guitar tech. The straight edge is thick, durable, and doesn’t bend easy even with daily use. I tested it against other straight edges and it’s perfectly straight. The price is extremely fair for the product. 10/10 would recommend

The product is good quality and works as advertised, however, I paid extra for "faster" shipping and it was a waste of money. You are already paying for shipping, save the extra because the product will get here when it gets here.

A bit more expensive than the cheap neck tools on here and I was concerned about the quality and straightness of those so I chose to pay a little more for this brand.Very happy with it, just over 3mm in thickness so it wont deflect and will stand on the neck unaided without being held.There are more expensive tools out there but they would be for professional luthiers not tinkerer's like me. This tool will help me set up my basses twice yearly easier and quicker than it's taking me at the moment.Seller is in USA so don't expect next day delivery if you're in Europe, it took about 2 and half weeks to reach me, but a good solid tool I'll be using in years to come.Very happy.

I bought this for doing setups on my bass guitars but didn't feel like spending the money for a Stew Mac fret checker. I like that it has a side for 34" and another for 35" scale length. It's appx 3.3 mm thick and is plenty sturdy. I have a precision machined straight edge and both sides of this fret checker sat flush against it. If you're doing several setups a week, probably spend a little more and get the Stew Mac one, otherwise if you're like me and set up your own instruments once or twice a year, this will be more than sufficient.
