Can’t figure out
What size wrench to use to adjust the neck. I bought it used and the wrench wasn’t included. I tried a metric 3 but it didn’t catch.

My VERY Modded Vintera III Jazz Bass
What’s up everyone, just wanted to show off my latest finished project, this started as a Vintera III Early 70’s Jazz Bass in candy apple red, I’ve basically turned it into my own 1966 Jazz bass in Sherwood Green. Did all the work myself, it was a very fun project and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
List of mods:
- Refin (Duplicolor Deep Jewel Green + Spraymax 2k clear)
- Fender Pure Vintage ‘66 Jazz Bass Pickups (also routed body for 60’s pickup spacing)
- Gotoh Lollipop-Style Tuners
- Bridge and pickup covers (w/ foam mute under bridge cover)
- Fender tort pickguard
- Fender 1966-style headstock decals
- AVII Jazz Bass Case (from Stratosphere on eBay)

is it only me or the mex stratocaster has reached the professional ii sound level?
Recently ive heard two stratocasters: a mexican player ii and a professional ii american, honestly i didnt find any difference on sound, and i kinda wanted to buy a guitar (a used player strato) to replace my good old squier sonic, are there any other differences beetween them? (Aside from the pickup splitting push-push thing, the knobs that are stiffier to move, the body neck-connection block that is smoothed out that are imo small things that can be done later on the guitar by modifying it.)

Birth year Strat
1988 American Deluxe Standard Strat that was being build in Corona the month I was being born on the otherside of the world.
She's a bit scuffed and worn (as am i) pickguard has been changed, knobs arent orginal, lace sensors have been painted, finish on the neck is worn through in places, but she plays really well and it feels special to take her out of the case.
So stoked!
