If screws doesn"t work or become hard to turn, that could be the foam under the pickup (if there is foam); just low the thickness.

it's the way to check the good truss set up: fret the first and the last fret, then check the space between strings and frets between the nine and twelve ones. If someone can help you to measure the space when you fret the first and the last with your both hands, no need to capo. That said, if your truss is too stiff, perhaps a better idea to see a professional.

[/quote] if you didn't yet, try this jerzydrozd thing step by step. Since i did that, no problem to set up my basses.

And we have to add sub-categories in cover bands: - Those who play tunes note for note - Those who twist tunes in their ways. For the first case, they could be a tribute "multi-bands"..

Thank you all. About the marketplace, i'm done with gas. well... i hope And the bass plays very well. Not the amazing playing of the Ks, but at least a very good jazz.

So, ok for the homemade Thanks bert !

Very nice bass !

Thank you Alex. it's not a homemade bass, but a bass i made with a luthier during a luthe-making course he setted up. his name is Xavier Petit, in France. all details of my adventure here: [url="http://www.myspace.com/basste3/blog/307080427"]http://www.myspace.com/basste3/blog/307080427[/url] and here is the next evolution (head shape, pickups, ramp,..)

Both is a good balance. I like to go see gigs to discover new sounds, and also go to tribute bands acts. Though, i don't wan't to pay a ticket for a tribute same price i would for originals. For example, an international led Zeppelin tribute band came here and claimed 58 euros !!! Not for me. I paid this for the real AC/DC on their next tour ! On the other side, for 10 euros, i went to a tribute bands evening, both from my area: a Queen tribute band (average level. Good for having a beer with friends) but a Pink Floyd tribute band which was AMAZING. A real magical trip. The best 10 euros i spent from a long time. Floyd Generations: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zwDwyIJ0G4"]https://www.youtube....h?v=2zwDwyIJ0G4[/url] Way better than having a real Floyd evening on DVD.

Hi all I'm from south France, play bass since 15 years. Mostly jazz, jazz funk, jazz rock, latin jazz, electrojazz ... Anything with "jazz" into , and few rock too. I also play guitar, mostly acoustic one, with singing a little bit. My basses are a 4 string fretted Jazzbass copy I made during a luthe-making course; and another 4 strings fretted Ken Smith burner from 98'; plugged in a GK 700RbII through a GK NEO 115-III cab. Sometimes a dunlop Wha between basses and amp. I also play sometimes a Squier jazzbass, which is my wife one. Happy to discover this forum !
