Unless you can fix it neatly, best thing to do is to leave it.

Like i always say, adds character. Well if theres a difference in tone you might want to get it fixed up, if not just follow cherns's advice

hahaha.. okok..
so its okay to leave it as it is?
cos my fren was saying that humidity or wat might affect the tone of the bass..
well, seriously, im not a guitar-tech-guru... so not sure whether will it really really affect e tone, or watever you guys called it.. hehahaha

Thanks!!

It's really unlikely 15mm of exposed wood will affect the tone of your bass in any way. Unless that 15mm is the size of a crack at your neck joint that is...
