height

Hello, my first post on the site. I got a used Corvette $$ 4-string a few weeks ago and am trying to get it setup so I can use it. Pickup height is one of my biggest questions. Some background: I play technical metal finger-style. I used to play with a pick but switched to fingers a couple...

Can anyone explain how to lower the string height on my Alien. I just got this bass and I LOVE it. String height is too high though. Thanks much!

What's your string height? I recently lowered mine to 1 - 1.2 mm. I was trying to make Victor-Wooton-style slapping easier and it seems to have worked! It is taking time to get used to it, but it's worth it. Also, fast fingerstyle runs (Jaco) are easier, again it justs takes time to adjust to a...

I’ve been meaning to post this question/comment for a while now…just getting around to it. I installed a Hipshot extender on my Corvette $$ and was perplexed by the difference in the height of the tuning peg vs. the tuners that came on the bass. Is there a reason for this? Did I buy the...

I know this subject has been covered before, but I can't seem to find the thread. What's the recommended clearance between the strings and the pickups for the $$? I tune down to D, G, C, F....should I take that into consideration (extra floppiness).

Hello, everybody. We are trying to record demo at home. I need help. I Can't find optimal height for pickups for Corvette $$ 5 str. And I'am absolutly don't know how to record my bass (directly to soundcard or from combo, with preamp or in passive mode ........) to get the best results.

I have a Rockbass Vampyre and my strings are ridiculously high. It's impossible to slap and the tone just isn't good. Solutions?

I was curious about what constitutes a "low string height" For those who like a low string action, what is your string height measurement from the top of the 12th fret to the bottom of the string? What is the same measurement at your 24th fret? I realize that it all relates to a...

Hi i recentlly bought a warwick rockbass streamer and i need to adjust the action on my bass. Ive had it for about a couple months n the action is just too high on it i cant even pop on it. I was wondering if someone could tell me how to adjust the action on it im not too sure if i have to...

hello world. i have a streamer stage I, 5 string broad neck. well, it's got ACTIVE soapbars in it, and i saw some pictures of other SSI basses (and i saw emg pickups in guitars) have less room between strings and pickups than passive pickups do. on the ss1 i saw, there was about as much...

PICKUP HEIGHT There is no hard and fast rule about where to set your pickup height, because everyone plays differently. The perfect height for a player with a soft touch can sound terrible for a player who really digs in or who plays percussively. However, here are some basic truths and...

Hello everyone, first off, great forum - just got my first warwick :D and have been playing every spare mo I get - I’ve played a passive 60s reissue Fender Jazz for over a decade. Although this is a lovely instrument I wanted a change and man did I get it. I love the whole passive/active...

I'd like to lower the strings on my vette $$. Does anyone have a good general manual on how to adjust the neck bow, string height, PU height, nuts and saddles? Reco on internet sites, books and *.pdfs appreciated. /Patrik

I'm new to the bass world (although I've played guitar religiously for years) and have a fairly off-the-wall bass question. The first thing I've noticed with Warwicks is how EXTERMELY EASY setup and adjustments are, including the pickups. While I'm sure the correct answer is "Just...
