Basic set-up videos.

[NancyJohnson]

Carl Pedigo was one of the techs over at Lakland and now operates as the Chicago Bass Doctor. He's got a couple of nice videos up for basic set-up procedures; truss rods, intonation, string heights, action etc....I just found these yesterday. Just good to watch and pretty simple stuff.

Enjoy!

...regarding the intonation, what did he mean by open string and the harmonic using the 12th fret? Can anyone explain?

cheers

To generate the harmonic of the open string place your fingertip gently on the string over the 12th fret but don't press down. Pluck the string and immediately remove your finger. The string will produce a note that is an octave above the normal open string note.
