[quote name='highwayone' timestamp='1340562857' post='1706297'] The action is quite low(about 4-5mm) the tuner is a korg pitchblack. I suppose it's all about practising! Never attempted it before as I'm a ex drummer!! So all of the advice received is great, thanks. [/quote] I'd say 4-5mm at the 12th is quite high & you're going to struggle getting it right with that much movement, depending how you play of course, I use fingers 99% of the time & a very gentle touch or so I'm told & like about 1.5mm at the 12th. How's the rest of the neck? Have you adjusted the truss rod? A good set up involves balancing everything. Korg tuner is fine & [s] very[/s] extremely accurate so maybe you're worrying too much? I'd say get it as close as you can within reason then PLAY! If you find you're going up the fretboard & it's not sounding 'right' then have another look at things. Cheerz, John

How is the action set - what gap is there between the 12th fret & the underside of the strings? The higher the action, the more the string has to move, from open/harmonic to fretted, the more tension is changed & the more difficult it is to set the intonation. Also make sure you're not pressing the string 'behind the fret' as you might when playing, just the most gentle touch to hold the string directly onto the fret is all you need. Also - what tuner are you using? Apologies if you know all this already, I'm guessing not? Cheerz, john

No problem here, keeping my head down & my nose clean I hope Oh! & trying not to get involved in matters that don't concern me It's good to know someone out there cares Cheerz, John

Yeah looks almost perfect (not prefect) apart from those pesky rear brakes

Paul bought my fretless Precision, great comms, instant payment, a excellent smooth transaction, a pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John

A big welcome from Sun City you're the second new Southener I've seen tonight! Cheerz, John

Howdo & welcome Grim, from down here by the Sussex seaside Sun city enjoy! Oh yeah, keep on practising Cheerz, John

Yes it fits any of my pockets, not as big as you think! Thinner than a broke bloke's 1/2 fold wallet & not so wide, maybe 30mm longer. 5.3" screen is like having 3 of my old Nokia X6 side by side

Cheerz dood, I'll have a look for that Does anyone know of a decent tuner app?

Sold some strings to Francis, excellent fellow to deal with, great comms, instant payment, another perfect basschatter Cheerz, John

My eldest lad has had one for a while & reckons it's the best going, so as my old contract was just about finished I looked around a bit. Best deal I found with a [b][u][i] FREE [/i][/u][/b]fone is on O2 100 mins, unlimited txts, 100MB Data, £16 a month on 2 year contract. it'll probably take me 2 years to learn how to use 1/2 of it but it's bloody marvellous So what's the best apps for me to get? Bass related of course Cheerz, John

I supplied a wiring kit to Andrew, it's a pleasure dealing with him, great communication, instant payment, top bloke, no problem recommending him to all. Cheerz, John

Hipshot D-tuner definitely for the win, it doesn't take long to get used to playing with your E being D, a flick & you're back.

Seems like some good deals, if you're looking for TC gear [url="http://www.andertons.co.uk/News/aid822/buy-a-tc-electronic-bh500-bass-half-stack-and-get-a-second-cab-absolutely-free.asp?utm_campaign=120618tcbassstacks&utm_content=1062375640178&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Emailvision"]http://www.andertons.co.uk/News/aid822/buy-a-tc-electronic-bh500-bass-half-stack-and-get-a-second-cab-absolutely-free.asp?utm_campaign=120618tcbassstacks&utm_content=1062375640178&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Emailvision[/url]
