chumba Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hi all I am asking a lot of questions but I am new to all this. While playing my new bass yamaha rbx270 I tend to get a ringing sound from the strings .....not as smooth as i would like. Is it the strings ? or does The action needs lowered? I know it's not me as on another bass i don't get the same ring when I change note. I bought the guitar in a bit of a hungover state and just paid and left ...not a good idea I know ..but impulse purchase! Any help greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Is everything screwed together properly? Does the ringing occur on every string, on every note? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
