tinyd Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 22 hours ago, Linus27 said: Amazing thank you. I had to raise the height of my G string as it was buzzing a little and sounding too much like a fretless. When I raised it a little it sounded so much better but as the string sustained, it then vibrated into an annoying buzz. So I raised it some more and the buzz went and its now sounding good. However the D started to do the same so I just raised that a little and its ok again. Now I have the measurements and know where to measure from, I can check what the actual heights are. Yep - it's counterintuitive, but sometimes raising the string height can make the bass easier to play as you don't need to play as hard to get the sound you're looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really using it anymore so might consider selling it including a few dozen IR's I've collected. How well does it work with fretless bass guitar? Maybe you don't need the electric upright after all 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that with a decent pickup/amp setup an IR isn't really worth it for live situations..... I mostly play double bass now but on the odd occasion I use a Yamaha SLB I get a good enough sound without the IR's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YKRJohn Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Hi All, I have a 804 liking it somewhat so far (had it about 6 months) 2 questions for other owners: Is the truss rod 2 way? I have tried to loosen the truss rod but seem to hit a solid wall when trying - don't want to "swing" on the hex key too much - is there something like a locking nut I am overlooking? And secondly has anyone tried the Rotosound true Bass 88s on one of these, do they fit without nut filing? Thanks in advance John 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
