mindpop Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) I have a problem....I have a new 6 string bass that on the d string the higher I play up the neck the sharper it goes out of tune.. This does not happen on any other string. Does this sound like an intonation problem? Anyone out there ever experience this??? Thanks Edited September 1, 2007 by mindpop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 sounds exactly like an intonation problem. There is s sticky on how to adjust it. Sounds like the saddle needs to be moved away from the neck but the best thing is to look at the sticky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mybass Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Generally, the bridge saddles when set right, will form a slightly angled line across ways. Your string may be needing a slight movement. Play it at the 12th fret and then play it open, any difference? Try playing the 12th fret harmonic and then the string too. Moving the saddle should bring the tuning into correct play. Sometimes the string itself may be the problem so make sure you have the good stuff on there!
