    I’ll try that - by dead straight you mean no relief at all so the string is resting on fret 8?
  2. Geek99
    I think I have a ski jump most strings buzz from 15th up with 2.5mm at 12th . Relief is .3 at eighth with 1 and last fret held my stingray clone is down to 1.75 mm at 12th and it’s the same radius - so it can work unless it’s one high / low fret around 13

    Sorry - the clear note is when plucked between third and nut found a reference measure of .07mm at fret 1

    I’ve set the relief to 0.3mm at the 8th and the upper frets are still buzzing unfretted distance at the 12th is approx 2.5mm wondering if the nut is badly cut ? I can get a clear note from each string when fretted at 3rd by pinging the string with my finger nail

    How do you know what speakers they need ? And are any of these for bass ?
  6. Geek99
    Too much relief means forward bow so (barring tall fret issues) I should get no buzz, I think so what I’m doing is actually the opposite of hell zero’s method
  7. Geek99
    Think I’m going to set relief to 0.4, set action I want and then put relief back on bit by bit

    What exactly is this fender nevk heel issue ? Google results unhelpful
  9. Geek99
    I don’t go higher than about f15 anyway so Luthier attention can wait relief is .3mm at 8 with 1 and 17 down action at 12 is around 2.6mm

    Relic sunburst please though, I could be tempted by Olympic white with tort. the ACG stain with bright resin in the knots is nice though @skelf
  11. Geek99
    I set it to 0.3m at eighth with 1 and 17 pressed and it’s still buzzing on higher frets action around 2.5 might try hellzeros “set it flat” technique
  12. Geek99
    Yes that’s the one
  13. Geek99
    @Stub Mandrelhas actually played the bass in question as has @petecarlton
  14. Geek99
    Yes but mine is sky high - trying to find a happy average
  15. Geek99
    Ballpark about 2mm - 2.5mm then? Thanks all

    Paging @Bassassin

    Can people please tell me what action from 12th fret top to underside of E string they have on their p bass? Ie as if using a feeler gauge mine came out for the midlands bass bash and when I got it home I realised I could actually abseil off the action I’ve set the relief to 0.3mm at the eighth with first and last frets held down - radius is 9.25” on maple - Japanese neck it had a heavy concave but no more

    You could finance acquisitions by selling stuff you’re bored of ?

    Pictures, mister… where are the damned pictures
  22. Geek99
    True - maybe you could use digital chords then such m7b9/b3.6

    @kodiakblair is the guru

    Or you could just pick the most random discordant notes possible and make it up as you go along … then tip your straw hat at anyone who questions it saying “well, it is jazz you know “
