Rayman Posted 10 hours ago Author Share Posted 10 hours ago There’s a YouTube video for almost every situation. From building a fender P or J style control plate, fret dressing, straightening a warped neck, everything. If there’s a specific issue you’re looking for help on, let me know, and I’ll help you look for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago It is weird, I always suspect that my basses could be lusher but do not live close enough to top end Tech bods to even discuss it let alone have anything done. Or know that they could be better. This is based on playing one or two basses over the years and thinking "this feels fabulous". I can never tell if that is neck carve or action or one of 20 other things. I do know that a guy I work with took his LP Gold Top, his CS strat and his Gibson 335 to a guy who is acknowledged as top notch and they came back as a joy to play in a way they were not before. They were fine before, but after fettling they were lush beyond. So I do not even know what I would be looking for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing most people don't think of, but makes a surprising difference is a fret polish. Far easier than re-crowning or anything else, and cheap to pick up the supplies to do so. Other than that, probably just a matter of taking your time, dialling things in just the way you like it to suit your playing style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
