I think the new strings are a touch heavier - it'd been so long since it'd been restrung I had no idea what gauge was on previously, otherwise I'd have rebought the same. Now I think about it - heavier strings would have a higher tension, putting more relief in to the neck and thus making the truss rod need a tighten. Cheers guys

After a recent string change, I'm finding that when I play a note from about the 7th fret onwards on my E-string the vibration of the string is catching the fretboard further down towards the 15th fret, making a nasty clacking noise and choking the notes a bit. It gets worse the harder I play, and if I detune the string to D, which I need to for a song. The action seems reasonable - it's certainly not perilously low. Is this symptomatic of a lack of relief or too much relief in the neck, and is a tweak of the truss rod likely to solve it?

Hi, first post, go easy etc... I'm GASing for a Bass Exciter, and I'm interested in what people's general opinions are of them? Obviously there is a lot of hype out there in reviews you read, and I guess I'd just like to hear people's first hand experiences with them.
