That woulda seemed like a good idear, Bob, but U.S. Jazzmasters already come
with three shims under the neck and still have the settling bridge piece and
rattling problems.
The Jazzmaster bridge problems are easily the most talked about topic on this
list. It is such a poor design. I think it's time that we collect all the
remedies that are often repeated here, and put 'em in a FAQ to which we can
refer new members.
Strangely, Don Wilson of the Ventures loves the Jazzmaster bridge and put it on
his Wilson Bros guitars.

Something else you or may not want to try would be to shim the neck
slightly ( a little goes a long way). So you can raise the bridge up
a little to increase the tension over the bridge. I would try
increments of maybe a thin business card thickness 1/4 - 1/2 inch
wide
strip running between the two screws closets to the pickup. this will
also change the feel of the tension ,which you may or may not like.
