    Would lowering a too high nut allow for overall lower string action?

    I am quite certain that the nut slots in the nut on my main bass are cut too high, quite a bit even, and when I press down the low E string on the first fret down to a more reasonable height I can see this also affects the string action at the 12th fret (and otherwise as you go down the neck)...

    Hohner B2A high action

    Hello, I have some high action problems with a Hohner B2A. The saddles are set to the deck and I have still 1/8 on E at 17th fret. I usually go for 5/64 on that E. Any suggestions on how to reach a lower action? It's a neck thru (and it has a little hump at the last frets. But thats another...

    Is my active bass high Z?

    I should know this but are active basses classed as high impedance instruments like other guitars? For example when I plug a Fender USA Jazz (60th anniversary, original SCN noiseless pickups and preamp) into a mixer input should I select Hi Z or LINE for best performance? I have tried both and...

    Shorter scale 5 string fretless bass (for high C) - does such a bass exist

Anyway, I'm curious in a bass that is definitely different from my 4 string passive jazz strung with flats. A shorter...

    Never played, action too high?

    Silly question.... BUT! Is it normal that the action is getting higher and higher as I go up the neck? I've played guitar for 15 years and I'm used to guitars. It's a vintage modified squier bass that I got used. The action at the nut is very low and great, but much higher at the 12th fret...

    High C String Set Suggestions

    Does anyone have suggestions for a set of bass strings for a 5 String with a high "C"? The only strings I've tried are DR High Beams 30-105. I think I want to try some lighter strings this time. The "Warwick 40310 ML Black Label" looks cool and so do Fodera's "5-String High C Set Light N". I...

    Flat shim too high?

    So I've got this 2012 USA Jazz that's my dream bass in every way except for this neck problem. Initially, I ran out of clearance to lower saddles (I'd set the proper neck relief so that wasn't the issue) and still couldn't get low action, so I took it to my tech. I requested a full pocket shim...
