RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Changed strings on this a couple of times . When purchased , the action was on the high side . The setup now isn't that good . I was wondering : can this bass feel great like an ordinary bass?(that's possibly a daft question) How difficult is it to set up? Am I better off taking it to a tech? I initially bought it as an ornament , with view to occasional use. Now I would like to use it a lot more. Please advise Cheers ( I know how to adjust truss rod, but that's as far as it goes ) Edited March 28, 2016 by RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Looks like one of those bass versions of a tune-o-matic bridge. You adjust the string height by raising/lowering either side of the bridge and that's about it - no individual string height adjustment. Intonation screws are in the side of the bridge facing the bridge pickup. If you know about truss rods then you can set up a bass - the truss rod is the least well understood part of the set up procedure, the one most shrouded in doubt and fear!

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thank you sir . I had a strum last night , and it didn't seem too bad. It's mainly the e string . I may just get away with lowering the bridge. TBH ,the intonation looks ok . Will try on Saturday . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
