gub Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Just looking at the Haynes bass manual as going to play around with height and it talks about bass and treble side ? Is this strings it is talking about ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alstocko Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Yep, the bass string is your lowest string, and the treble your highest. I think they measure the height with a capo on the first fret if I'm not mistaken... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kesh Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) if the string gets too close to the magnet it creates a chorus-like effect Edited August 1, 2012 by Kesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixdegrees Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I originally thought that 'bass' meant E & A strings, and 'treble' meant D & G. But it specifies height for Precision and Jazz basses. Bearing in mind that bridge pick ups are usually closer to the strings, I now assume the 'treble' and 'bass' refers to individual pick ups. If I'm correct, the second edition should specify them as 'bridge' and 'neck'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it does say the larger the string more Clarence is needed above the magnet . Edited August 2, 2012 by gub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
