ok im not sure if this is a silly question but anyway...

is it possible to fix the action on acoustic instruments? my electric bass used to be way out of whack but i got the neck re-aligned or whatever and now it plays amazing. but now i notice the same thing happening to my acoustic bass. but there isnt really ajdustability in the neck that i can notice like there is on my electric. theres a stress mark showing at the top like half an inch from the  seam where the headstock broke off and was reattached, and i notice more stress lines toward the body end of the neck. is it just time for a new one or can i fix this one?

I think you can file down the bridge

I'm sure it wont be perfect but it will lower it

dont screw around with the truss rod unless you know how to exactly do that shit...........

you could end up twisting and ruining your neck.....or stripping the truss rodd......

that shit needs to be adjusted very very carefully........thats why i say just bring it to a shop
