Catalin Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Hi guys, I ordered from thomann a Fender Elite jazz 5 string which i like a lot, but i want to return it for 2 reasons: it's noisy - it needs a good shielding job, and i find the neck to be a little to wide for my taste, for the last 10 years or so i played just one bass, a warwick streamer lx5 which is 17.5 mm string spacing. So i'm thinking to order the same model with 4 strings and tune it BEAD. I talked to the guys from Thomann and they said they will setup the bass for me to acomodate thicker strings: file the nut, intonation, neck adjustment etc etc. Did you had any experience with Thomann setup jobs? I ask because the B string on this bass, the 5 string one, is very nice, it intonates very good, no fret buzz, good sustain. So somehow i'm affraid that on the 4 string version the B will not be the same. Im a little paranoic i know ha ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 If you go on their website, it does appear they do stuff like that now, there's a picture of a tech in a workshop.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that on their website. I am just curious if someone had their guitars/basses setup by them, and how good the quality of this service is.
