I’ve got an old framus hollow bass. Just like the title says. The neck screws are out but the neck won’t come loose. The action is soaring so I was hoping a shim or 5 could bring it into usable territory but the darn thing doesn’t budge. I tried tapping a screwdriver through the holes but it’s digging into the neck without it budging. Any help would be appreciated!

Thinking about dumping the reverb for a morning glory clean as the verb is just a novelty for me
