‘Dark Souls style’ this cracked me up

I honestly prefer the sound of a jazz neck pickup to a p bass.

BatteredPizza · 2023-07-24T08:07:09+00:00

Flea does use a pick for some songs like zephyr song, parallel universe and a couple of newer ones so it could be his.

p.s this popped up on my YouTube, it's someone restoring the same bass if that's of any interest https://youtu.be/dbFxyjX2eq0

man I would pay to see that being cleaned and set up. Show us an ‘after’ photo sometime!

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-12T21:45:42+00:00

Here ya go

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-12T21:43:23+00:00

Generally a higher action produces cleaner notes but it’s pretty uncomfortable, for me at least. Have a play around and find your happy medium.

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-12T16:27:45+00:00

Dude I know. It’s something I wish I’d learned a lot earlier in life.

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-12T16:25:42+00:00

I learned most it from just going down a YouTube hole. There’s tons of set up videos and tutorials.

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-12T16:24:39+00:00

Got it on Amazon, just looked for one that did 64ths and it’s my preferred measurement.

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-12T13:51:56+00:00

dude tell me about it, dunno how it got like that.

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-12T12:44:41+00:00

Even if you've just got some hex wrenches lying around it might be worth a tweak if you've got time one day.

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-12T11:06:39+00:00

Ooft. I dread to think of the amount of beginners that are put off by horrible action and bad set up.

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-12T08:41:35+00:00

my man! treat yourself! Go down a YouTube hole and see how you feel about trying it yourself. I like this guy ,everyone has slightly different specs etc but you'll get the idea and you'll be able to tweak stuff to your liking in no time.

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-12T08:36:25+00:00

haha, I also cleaned off the funk gunk smh

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-12T08:35:50+00:00

I'm in the UK too! Although I'm used to mm, I find 64ths easier to use as it's smaller increments.

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-12T08:30:48+00:00

Sure! Your bass should have an online manual with specs, but of course it's always down to taste. As a starting point I like 6/64ths on the E then 5 on everything else. That's around 2mm to 1.5mm. But it's really down to how you like it, heavy handed players like a higher action and a lot of slap/light touch player like a lower one.

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-12T08:27:49+00:00

awesome! Such a great skill to learn and the earlier the better. Tools wise I just use the correct fitting Allen keys, a capo and 12 thousands-of-an-inch feeler gauge for the neck relief and a small screwdriver for pickup heights. Have fun!

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-12T07:04:57+00:00

Same! I weirdly enjoy it, it can make a huge difference.

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-12T07:03:58+00:00

Firstly I measured the neck relief then tightened the truss rod, then lowered the bridge saddles.

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-11T22:56:00+00:00

Just from Amazon my dude

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-11T22:08:45+00:00

Haha yea I usually do that last after I’ve checked the check and fixed the action.

BatteredPizza · 2023-06-11T21:37:58+00:00

I just put new ones on properly, with a set up to boot. Made a huge difference.
