TPJ Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) It's great seeing so many see the light. If you look at my sig and follow the [url="http://www.underdrive.co.uk"]Underdrive[/url] link to our set list you'll see all the tunes we cover. The format is acoustic guitar and double bass with cajon/percussion thrown in from time to time. It works, it isn't loud, and the punters seem to dig it. There are a few acoustic format tunes on the [url="http://www.even-hand.co.uk"]Evenhand[/url] site as well. Once you tackle the physicality of DB, the musical world is once again your oyster.

Does it buzz on every "fret" or just in certain places? Mine buzzes in certain places so I've been told it's most likely an uneven fingerboard, which I think costs around £70 to sort. I've just put on some weedwackers and they don't buzz, so I guess nylon wrapped strings are an option. If it buzzes everywhere I would guess it's either the bridge rattling against the body due to being badly fitted, or possibly the string grooves in the bridge or nut are too wide. I thought about trying to pad out the grooves on mine with tissue or something because I'm sure I've seen my brother do it on his guitar, but that might be an awful idea, I really don't know. Hopefully someone else can offer some more useful advice... Edited October 2, 2010 by JoshJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Funnily enough I've just been sorting out my bridge. The action on mine was way too high so I took a knife and sandpaper to it and lowered the height and cut deeper notches - yep, you guessed it, I cut too far on the A string so that it clicked against the fingerboard and buzzed like hell. In this case either you can raise the bridge by shimming some hardboard under the player-side foot (should really be glued) or do as I do which is to get hold of an adjustable bridge with wheels on it so raise and lower it. Just fitted the latter and I think I've just about got it right. If its the fingerboard that s the problem unfortunately that needs professional straightening (re-shooting). Maybe you could do a bodge job for now and put something in the A notch to raise the string slightly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Problem seems to have gone now, must have needed bedding in or something, was when playing open as well so not the fingerboard. I need to tune it, if I plug a microphone into my SVT which is plugged into my DTR2000 will that be OK to tune it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Yes, I did the same and it works perfectly well, although I got a little clip on tuner as well for £7 that is more convenient when you are at home and not plugged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
