    This. i still say you’re actually me and that I have two accounts and randomly use one or the other depending on my degree of tartan-affinity on that day

    What does it consist of?

    I found that I was going all swing timing when leading with my index finger. I lead with my middle finger and it’s much more consistent

    I have exactly this and it’s good - the rectangular part works for acoustic guitar tuners as well as bass the weird horseshoe part is an acoustic bridge pin puller

    It has saved partners bacon more than a few times to be able to geolocate her keys

    You can buy radius gauges and so learn but also maintain the radius as you work https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjLrfK6xLmCAxWZme0KHQrXBWcYABANGgJkZw&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIy63yusS5ggMVmZntCh0K1wVnEAQYBiABEgIQWfD_BwE&sph=&sig=AOD64_392f9atchnt_3QDbR1vSWViFfLFA&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwiT2-q6xLmCAxXARkEAHTsWAC4Qwg8oAHoECAUQKg&adurl=

    Or maybe fix a strip of foam pipe insulation at that height Simples

    Use a wood bounce strip at the level where the basses lower points hang

    Maybe it is stuck -it’s only a short wrench, I’ll find a longer one i got it for free, all i had to add were cheap nut, saddle and pins. If it doesn’t work out it’s not the end of the world
  12. Geek99
    Yes, you helped me with a bass ski jump i have the right sized wrench
  13. Geek99
    Still no bow back ill try tuning it and lowering saddle and see where I end up

    didn’t I paste a thread for you on this very topic ? @The Attic Man
  15. Geek99
    I’ve done this in an attempt to push the neck to conform , strings are slack and the bottles are just above the carpet rather than sitting on it kill or cure
  16. Geek99
    Worth drawing a line on the saddle bar with pencil before you start and then measure to bottom so you know how much you’ve removed

    The word on the street is that stiff neck wood on cheapies can resist a truss rod and they advocate leaving it maxed and left propped such that pressure is applied in the desired direction https://www.talkbass.com/threads/truss-rod-doesnt-seem-broken-but-doesnt-affect-the-relief-at-all.1120878/ @Andyjr1515 thoughts ?

    It doesn’t seem to shift much i got the guitar with a flat neck and a slack feeling rod-nut. It’s gone tight now but I cannot detect any back-bend in the neck can they simply stop changing the neck somehow ? The hex nut gives me the feeling of “shan’t” when I try and tighten it more

    @karlfer Must be waiting for a train then…

    Wire wool? Gives a lovely finish after sanding
  21. Geek99
    I think the truss rod is maxed out clockwise but I cannot see any movement in the neck - had expected middle frets to touch strings when first and last frets held but not so. Is that possible in a maxed out situation ?
  22. Geek99
    The neck relief doesn’t seem to have shifted. I loosened the strings and left it near a radiator to see if the back bow kicked in. this isn’t for me btw, I have not turned to the dark side 🤮
  23. Geek99
    Measuring the other guitar I think the bridge bar is about 3mm too high owing to the piezo and also the new nut needs to be slotted lower
  24. Geek99
    It’s got too much forward bow, so I’m trying to reduce that by turning the truss rod nut clockwise. I think that’s correct
  25. Geek99
    10-50 light ill check under the piezo, hadn’t thought of that. The other acoustic I got had two toothpick fragments in there. I don’t know why, I got perfect relief and super low action without them the neck may be screwed, but equally it was abandoned and unstrung for a few years so may ping into life with some time
