    Fender Jazz MiM Truss Rod Adjustment

    Did Fender use the older style truss rod adjustment screw, (remove the neck) on other MiM's besides the Road Worn? I saw one in a pawn shop today. I'm curious if they made some of those or perhaps the neck was changed.

    Pickup Height Adjustment Springs?

    Howdy. I am building a P-style bass from parts. I have obtained a Seymour Duncan SPB-2 pickup, which came with foam padding and screws. I'm not sure if I need to have height adjustment springs as well, or if I can just work with the compressions (or decompression) of the foam pads to achieve...

    Change in string gauge... suggestions on tone adjustment

    Hello, TB I recently dropped string gauge due to finger inflammation issues when playing... went from 45-100 to 35-95. Although my fingers are happier after long bouts of gigging, the G (.35) and D (.55) seem "tinny" to me and lack any real deepness. I use a Walkabout with 212 Radiator Scouts...

    Height adjustment possible on a Godin A4 bridge?

    I've just received this bass and all is great except the low E could do with raising just a touch. Things might change of course once I put some different strings on, but just concerned that I will forever have trouble with this seemingly non-adjustable bridge? Not my pic, but it has individual...

    Double Bass Soundpost adjustment on a back brace/patched top hybrid.

    I just read Chuck Traeger's latest in which he discusses rounding the soundpost ends slightly to free up the top plate to vibrate more easily and gives Gary Rickman's technique of hardening the ends with superglue. I also listened to Bill Merchant's contrabass conversations in which he discussed...

    That bit about waiting for the neck to settle after a truss rod adjustment is not a myth

    I've seen this happen more than a couple of times now, so I thought I'd post about it. The first time for me was a Warlock I got in from GC, on which they had slacked the strings for transport. After adjusting the rod, I couldn't get the neck relief where I wanted. Actually, there was no...

    Getting a really low amount of treble adjustment on my new preamp (STC-3A), question

    Just had a new preamp put in, and seems like there is something wrong with it. The last STC3A I had you could crank the treble up and the whole thing would hiss, and there was a very noticeable difference. With this one, it's hard to tell that there's any difference at all, except there is...

    Order of truss rod adjustment and intonation.

    Hey guys, So I need to adjust my truss rod, fix the intonation (i.e. the distance on the saddle), and string height for each individual string, and I'm not sure which order I should do each of those three. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

    Double Bass Bridge adjustment question

    Just replaced the broken Full Circle with the smashed RCA connector on the office bass with a new one today so I can send the busted one back to Fishman for repair. Of course in order to do this, I had to take the bridge down and put it back up. Since I use dominants, I was careful to mark the...

    Rickenbacker 4003 adjustment screw...

    So today I was fiddling with the height adjustment of the neck pickup of my 4003, and while very gingerly turning it, making small adjustments to each side gradually, one of the screws stripped! Fortunately the pickup is actually in a better position than it was before, but it's still driving me...

    Initial adjustment for new Fender neck?

    Hey guys, I recently had to replace the neck on my American Special P. It warped, probably due to my leaving it in hot rooms and cars too much. So I got a brand new American Standard neck for it. I already installed it, no problems there. I never touched the truss rod and it's playing pretty...

    Intonation Adjustment on E String

    My bridge saddle is as far as it will go, and intonation on E String is still a bit sharp. Action is adjusted as best as it can be, and neck has perfect bow. Any suggestions. It's an MIA Fender P Bass.

    Neck adjustment and how important stability is to you.

    How often do you adjust your neck on your main players? I just switched from flats to rounds on my P and had to adjust the bow for the first time in YEARS. I find myself adjusting my jazz a couple times a year but I love the feel of the neck so much I put up with it. So, how often do you...

    Truss Rod Adjustment Location and Neck Balance

    I have a super lightweight precision-style bass body. Insanely light. I would like to order a custom, lightweight roasted maple neck for it. The new neck will have the 14mm Hipshot ultralites and a tele-style headstock. Will having the truss rod adjust at the body rather than at the...

    Replacing the bridge on an acoustic bass

    I recently got a super cheap Harmonia 6-string acoustic bass. The bridge is problematic because the instrument is totally un-intonated, so I need an adjustable bridge to fix this. Can I just slap pretty much any adjustable bridge onto the instrument and have it be ok? Also, I can google this...
