Bidd Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 As my knowledge of my bass is still at a premature age (i'm too busy doing a degree to learn) I am confused at a problem I have. I've recently noticed that when playing the 5th fret on my G string (insert innuendo here) I have very little sustain compared to the other frets on that string So a)Why is it doing this? b)How can i fix it? Answers would be very much appreciated Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Its a common problem - a deadspot. I found that a groovetubes fatfinger clamped to the headstock cured the problem on my jazz bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
