Well it doesent look diffrent? would I beable to tell for sure?

I am really confused. Ok I cant seem to get a straight neck there is always buzz but the part that really confuses me is I only have buzz on my A and D and I can have my E and my G set as low as the action will go with no buzz but My A and my D buzz like crazy. And does anyone have anytips on seeing how much relief/backbow you have?

haha I just thought maybe it could be bad for a amp??

I have a peavey combo 210tx amp with the detachable cabinet under it. This has built in compression but I read on a site not to use it to much? Why wouldent I use it to much? will it harm my amp in anyway? I like the smooth tone I get out of it. It seems to fatten up the higher notes.

Well, Lol my Dad knows what he's doing. Although he was in a rush he couldent really find anything out of the norm... Thats why I decided to ask you guys to see if there was a specieal thing to look for.

Lol. I thought I could fix this thing. Its a Bass distortion digitech pedal its the burgandy colored one. Now I plug in my power supply and the Red led automatically comes on, I think to myself yes free pedal. Wrong It doesent turn of and It also doesent send out any distortion. So what could possibaly be the problem. .Led stays on . No distortion Please help U.K

My bass teacher was telling me that walking bass is really simple and not much too it. Now that I look at it I think he was wrong. Any one else here think walking the bass is one of the most knowledge demanding style there is?

thanks dlloyd that really covers it thanks

Nevermind must have been tired last night on second look the other note is upper becuase what came before it.

Maybe I didint understand what your trying to say but what I dont get is how does the G change to a lower dominant to ahigh dominant ? when it pretty much sits in the middle

Ok so Im looking at my walking bassline book when I turn to dominant approach page now there is something that is confusing me out of my mind {C,D,E,F){G}(A,B,C} {Upper } ( 5){ Low} Theres a nice little key I made for me. Anyway So in the book theres a peice that goes something like this... It starts with a C the goes to a D Upper/Dominant (It illustrates if its a Upper aproach or Low approach then it goes to the fifth G Low/Dominant So my question is in a few bars later it says the G is a Upper dominant? How can I tell if it is a Upper dominant or low dominant?

Whoah scary =/ I just talked to a once again highly reccomended tech and he told me that the correct way to do it is to take the strings of and then put a back bow on the neck then continue adjusting from there. This is the opposite of what I did for most of mine. I loosened the strings for most the times but then the finishing touches I just kept the strings tight. Now I also have been wondering why my truss rod feels a little sticky mind you I have my bass set up the way I like it now. But it feels a little jolty unlike my bros guitar which is smooth as silk. Is this becuase its a bass? Should I put a drop of household oil into the hole were I put the wrench in? The truss hole

Yes I got it thanks.

Oh and now the action is really low and only with strong attack do any of them buzz

My truss rod didint turn perfectly smooth like my brothers guitars truss did. But I had a highly reccomended tech work on mine once before and he didint say anything bad about the truss rod being bad. Would you worry?
