[Colarndo]

Is it every fret that has this problem? Eg: happens on every fret?
Is it on a certain string: E,A,D.G?
What do you mean when you lift it?

Send it in for neck repairs, bass neck a bit more tricky if it's spoilt. This is because it's longer and endure more tension due to the type of strings used than lets say a normal 6 string guitar.

I have seen more bass neck beyond repair than guitar neck. If that's case, better to get a new bass.

I reccomend you send it to guitar connection, (opposite davis guitar)

huh what is that? ad where is tone pot?

p/s: anyone know how much is peavey microbass amp ?

 

[Z3r0_G]

open up ur scratchplate or if u have rear routed controls, open the back plate. the things where ur tone knobs should be are your pots. spray em clean.

 

[shinobi]

dun mean to sound swakoo... but... what do i spray it with?

 

[Z3r0_G]

wd-40 will do the trick.. or philips contact cleaner. go ask in the DIY shops ard.

 

[sLapshock]

where is the scractplate. sorr for be ing so noob

 

[Z3r0_G]

no problem :wink:

the scratchplate is also known as the pickguard. it's the plastic thingy that is on the guitar body. if u do not have one, your controls must be rear routed. look to the back and unscrew the back plate. inside u'll see lots of wires and stuff. on where your tone knob is is your pot. spray it.

=p
