set

So I took my bass to a luthier, it was great for the first like 2.5 weeks, then I put new strings on (same brand and gauge) and suddenly I have major fret buzz. So I take my bass back to the guy and he says he will have to raise the bridge (action is already higher than I really wanted) so I...

This covers all the bases and is well explained: BP_Section_Lessons .

This vid is from a new band called "At the source".... They are desperately looking for someone who plays bass and wants to join them... www.dumpert.nl - Briljante live set

I'm joining a working cover band and have my first rehearsal with them this Sunday. Here's the set list they asked me to learn. What you do think? Open up your eyes - Tonic My Sacrifice - Creed Selling the...

hi folks i think i'm going to buy dr strings next. i want 4 strings, 40s. but which set should i go for ? now, let me describe the sound i'm looking for: there should be quite much snap to it, i like to be able to achieve a slap-like sound by plucking hard. i found a video on youtube...

Iv'e been having issues with my Warwick Corvette Rockbass for setting it up properly. I want to be able to set it up like a German Warwick Corvette where the action is low without any fretbuzz at all. At the moment, the action is as low as i can get it without any fretbuzz, but its still too...

After 20+ years of bass playing I finally plucked up the courage to attempt my own set up. After HOURS of tweaking AND tweaking! :evil: I have finally got the low action that i've always craved. The only problem is that now my usual strings (45's) seem a little sloppy. Obviously loosening the...

I recently took my bass to get set up and was told that the neck was bowed and the truss rod was not working correctly and would need replaced. Having had a look myself and done some research, I am led to believe that the neck is supposed to be slightly concave and the truss rod only adjusts 1...

I bought a metronome today to help me in practicing. I feel that I'm out of rhythm some times and with just past a week before I'm having a musical highschool entry test (Recieved the letter yesterday) where I'm going to play two songs. Bombtrack by Rage Agaisnt the Machine and Rio Funk by Lou...

I just got a used rock bass. It had flat wound on it, but slapping, especially higher than fret 12 was almost impossible because the strings seem way too tight and way higher than they should be off the finger board. The truss rod was completely loose and vibrating. I took it to a local shop...

Hi, I was wondering if there are any tips and tricks or guides on how to set up the intonation and action on my bass. I would get it done by a bass shop but i lack the cash so was wondering if you guys can help me get it as good as i can for the time being. Cheers, Travis

Hi! I am considering on buying new strings for my bass. It's second hand, a 1990' bass, and I dunno which strings it wears. I'd like to play slap and funk on it, but I don't know which are the best option... manufacturer, width... Any comment? thanks!

what is a set neck, is it like a neck thru or bolt on? :?

Hey gang, good to be on the forum. Before I discovered Warwick there was a bass I saw called the Marleaux M-bass custom. It featured exotic wood and a glued through design (set neck). It is supposed to combine the best of a bolt on with the best of a neck through tone wise. So imagine how...

OK, I an going to take a 4 str, and set it up for Drop C. I will be using 65-125 strings. After I alter the nut, what is the first step I should take. Should I just string it up, tune it and let is sit overnight to see what the neck does, ot should I adjust the relief before I start?...

I am wondering about the factory set up. What is the spacing between the string and the fret. I have a warwick streamer stage 2 5 string with a really low action which really hurts my thumb when i slap. Yet the sound is very trebly and undefine. This set up is due to the setting done by a guitar...

Just orderd an EMG-Jset from ebay. It comes with everything I need. First Question: Are the MEC's inthe warwicks "stock" the same size, or differen't? One pickup is a little less wide than the other. Second: 2 volumes, 1 tone? I dont get it.....

Hey all... just a note that I've started posting a series of Setup tips over in the "Tips and Tricks" section!

Hi guys, it's been a while since I've posted. I was recently thinking about how awesome an Infinity SN TCS with a Matte Black finish would be. However, I'm not quite sure how you would classify the finish. Would I have to pay for a "Bolt-On" finish (Neck isn't painted) or a "Neck-Through"...
