Why, thank you drTStingray!
That experience you had sounds quite worrying - that king of extreme heat can't be good for either bass, amp - or bassist for that matter!
I signed up, received the email link to the 'toolkit' - I thought it was interesting.
I shall now learn 'Billie Jean' this evening (after I escape the horrors of the workface )
Thanks
Was playing bass last night, after a weeks break (tendonitis ) - noticed that the frets on the jazz were 'buzzy' 'cos the neck had bowed slightly (back-bend)
Can't decide whether to tweak the truss-rod, or wait for the weather to cool... 🤔
