Hi. 2 active EMG - 40DC without preamp! :lol:
Try it! My Streamer STd 5 Rockbass with it have really killing rock sound! :evil: And it's a 1000 times much better, then stock pups + preamp ;), as for me.
Ok, Michael J, I read about Jonas setup, but I newer saw him playing that way in youtube clips. Maybe you can post some crazy links?
Hello, Golem, it's my setup trick :lol::
set the action at 24 approx= action at 12 &= 2mm for g and 2,5 for B
Try it, I think you like it too:P
As for me 2,5 mm for B at 24 fret and 2 mm for G at 24 fret = best setting ever.
And where (in web: youtube, myspace, etc.....) I can see mr.Hellborg playing with 20 mm action :eek:???????????? I think his action pretty low :lol:
Hello, Tom. I have some same problems with setup with my Rockbass Streamer STD 5. But litle by litle all the things (nut, neck relief, action, pups) settled it their places perfectly :lol: So, don't give up.
If just-a-nut setting at correct height then:
1. In standart tuning. Check...
Hello nicko. I am trying '50 D'dadarios on my Paul Grey Ibanes in standart tuning and I can't get that huge tension. In the end I just detune the whole bass to D-G-C-F and everything goes OK.
:wink:
50's in standart tuning = absolutely unplayable for me. :roll:
Hy, I have the same problem with my Corvette $$ with Warwick Black Label and EMP strings.
The easyest way to solve it:
1. Set intonation on 12 fret
2. Check intonation at 24 fret (usually at 24 fret notes rings a little sharper) :wink:
By the way. Check pickups height. May be its its...
Hy, all Robert's fans around the world! :lol: After watching and hearing him playing with Ozzy and Metallica on CD&DVD I think that action on his basses is pretty high. Is it true?
P.S. My fav Metallica bass player - Jason Newsted and his Spector on Black album Rooks!!!!!!!!!!!
You can do it !!!!! Neck relise must be OK! Action & intonation can be reset by 5 minutes.
I think the only problem - is Just-a-Nut :? So, be careful when filling slots. And good luck!
Hey, Gastrok. All you need is just find "right" strings for you tunning.
As for me 135 for Low C - is not the best choice, becouse of high tension.
I think 120-125 will work better .
For other strings 45-105, or 50-110 - will be OK.
Peace/Mike
I am with you, man. I am trying to raise the action 100000000000 times on my both BO 5 string Warwicks. But finaly I find thats standart setup (from manual) is the best for me: 2mm - for G string and 2,5 mm - for B under 24 fret.
By the way. I don't using alein keys for measures!!!! Old metal...
Hello. This is from Roger Sadowsky site :
"Our recommended pickup height is 5/64" at the G-string and 3/32" at the B-string (or E on a 4-string bass). Measure from the underside of the string to the top of the polepiece while holding the string down at the last fret."
That's work :lol:
Thanx for answer, Flo. I know now, that I am on right way.
P.S. It was a fest in Chernivci near Romania last weekend, we had a lot of fun there. I hope some day we 'll cross the border and come to Bucharest :lol: See you.
