bass setup ?

[slapwalkpop]

hmm from what i've heard, no matter where you buy your bass from or whether its new, you shld send it to be setup first... where do you guys setup your bass and for how much ?? thanks! haha

i'd do it myself! i'm quite a technical person lah .. when i got my first 5-stringer i dismantled it time and again to see how it exactly works ... after that i adjust accordingly .. i think i dismantled to the point my neck warped .. hahahah .. oops ... i know what i want exactly though after a while ... really low action ... soft feel to it .. nice slappable and tappable feel to it .. ...

if you feel insecure about doing your own bass bring to any guitar shop they'll do for you for a small fee lah .. i think around 20bucks? .. if i'm not wrong .. or a little more .. Guitar Workshop at Bras Brasah does it .. Luthermusic .. G77 .. find Beez .. Davis ..

if my warwick neck warps so bad i'll either change it to fretless or get a new birds eye maple neck from them..

maybe i'll just let it warp then. hahaha

 

[slapwalkpop]

eeeh crap. i tried setting the intonation leh but no matter how i turn the screw the 12th fret is still flat... how ?

 

[Z3r0_G]

everytime u set something pull the string outwards away from the fretboard at the 12th fret. this will help ease the tension and let everything go whee it's supposed to be. hope that helps.
