Opinion: What's the best headstock angle for a bass?

OK, I settled on 15 degrees and made a jig for cutting necks.  Just for comparison, I measured the neck angle on my Hofner project and it's 15 degrees.  So I thought, what the heck, works for me.

I made the jig from scraps and some ply I had laying around the shop.  For a couple bucks, I got a guide rail from Sears that fits the track in my table saw.  Neat!

Over the summer I might build another one with a rotating piece so I can dial in any angle I want.  This will work great for 90% of my bass projects.

Thanks Scott!  I'm really getting into making jigs and such so I can turn things out quickly in the future.
