Ns Nxt string height?

[ThirteenDevils]

I have fitted some ns traditional strings to my NXT 4 string, the E and A sound great, the D sounds very 'zingy' and the G sounds dull or choked. Any suggestions? Truss rod? Bridge adjustment?

had this problem a few times, look at the bass directly front on and the bridge unit should be exactly in the middle of the cavity in the body. if there isnt an equal gap either side of the bridge then you have pushed it over during string change. I have done this a few times just from knocks in the van too. Bridge is just a bit of wood like an acoustic upright and its feet sit on 2 pickup transducers (just like an underwood). If the bridge is shifted left or right then the opposing side wont be fully on the pickup area and therefore sound thin or nasal. also whilst you're adjusting make sure the bridge is standing upright at right angles from body (with a very slight biad towards the headstock i think). either way, when the tension is off just wiggle the bridge to make sure its feet are flat on the floor of the body. this will ensure 100% of vibrations are passed onto the pickups.

hope this helps!

Thanks thats interesting and usefull info. But even unplugged, the G string sounds less sustained than the rest and the D has a roundwound zing to it?

D string problem solved! I had twisted the string when fitting it, bought a new one, problem solved. A slight loosening of the truss rod cured the dull G string.
