Actually I will drop him a message and see if I can do a DIY job

I tried a 'setup' myself on my fender and that didn't to too well! I just have fret buzz on the first fret and can't even get harmonics out at the 5th fret due to being too low. It dosent amplify the buzz but it's not really pleasant and it sticks to the back of my mind!

Oh okay, the first ever guy I had been to kept it a week and said I'll have to monitor the bass for changes. Maybe it was a workload thing?

Hi guys My question is Is it possible to set a bass up without the luthier keeping it for a week to notice 'changes'. Trouble is I have only 1 bass and now solidly practicing 5 hours a day and don't really want to stop that for a week. Borrowing another really isn't an option because I don't know anyone. Who has a 6 to borrow

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1379707671' post='2216103'] I use nice wide neoprene straps but put the straplock bit on t'other side for the top horn button so the strap ain't twisty on me ;-) Congrats on the acg btw! They're amazing!! [/quote] Any chance of a link to the strap your referring to ?

Hi guys recently acquired myself a 6 string from Alan and love it! I need some advice on straps. The bass I have has got the strap button on the back instead of the normal on the horn location. For guys who also have the same type, what kind of strap are you using ?

Recently purchased a 6 string and have noticed that I have to change up my right hand plucking. Now from how I used to play was keeping my thumb fixed on the pickup or E string and just pivoting my hand dosen't work anymore. I've tried the floating thumb and the other technique using your 3rd and 4th finger to mute the other strings. My question is, is there any other techniques finger style wise that people would recommend or would you just say persevere with the technique ?

I'm guessing the warranty that is on a GB product will remain ?

Considering that then, and purely in the interests of feedback, I would say a more fitting tone could be acheived by bringing the neck pickup back to about 25%. It would cut through the mix better, complimenting the bassline, and your fine playing ... that's only my opinion, and it's splitting hairs really. [/quote] Cheers! I'll keep that in mind, I'm looking to upload some more Jamiroquai stuff later on!

[quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1378977412' post='2207190'] Nice playing man. Excellent tune too How are the pick-ups/ tone dialled on your Jazz Bass on this recording? [/quote] It was full on the back pickup and the tone was around 30%. Front pickup at about 75%. And Thanks
