Torben Hedstrøm Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks... Seemed to do the trick . It's like playing a whole new instrument now Quote
ikay Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Good to hear you got that sorted. What did they say the problem was and do you know what they did to get rid of the dead spot and get it playing so much better? Quote
Emanew Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Yes Torben, tell us With the trussrod and the WW bridge (hole bridge height adjustment and for each string the bridge saddle set up) you can have a very fine work and get rid of deadspots... I also love this Thumb growl. Cheers Quote
Torben Hedstrøm Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 Well, the wood had apparently 'settled' a bit causing an uneven fretboard. Simple as that... Maybe the new feeling is just due to not having to play around any particular places on the board Quote
zazz Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I haveI just cured the severe lack of mwah on my g towards the nut end.... I clamped a weight onto the headstock and it's now singing. But It's now a neck dive ...ok for studio takes. I did this after reading up about the bad finger ....but this is pretty poor for a CS fretless ....you would have thought they would have created a neck with a different period of resonance. Quote
dmccombe7 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 [quote name='mart' timestamp='1350492430' post='1839668'] A long shot, but have you tried changing strings? Last time I got a "dead spot" on one of my fretlesses, it turned out to be a faulty string that had a slight bulge at that spot. [/quote] Yep had this too. Worth a try. Had a dead spot on my WAL fretless back in 80's at same spot on G string. Just learned to live with it as i was playing in a rock band it wasn't too noticeable. Sold it and bought a very nice Jazz with pearl inlays. Dave Quote

zazz Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Dead spots are a natural thing to do with the natural resonance of the wooden neck .... Placing heavy clamped weights on the headstock will shift the resonance of the neck in your favour....hopefully so that all the useable notes are not fighting that frequency. Ridiculous neck dive is inevitable. Quote
lettsguitars Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 I also have a dead spot on my thumb where I cut through the nerve with a planer. WACCA WACCA Quote
