Paolo85 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Hi all, I have one question/issue for which I'd love some advice. I've recently got a Sire V7 fretless from Thomann. Tonight I tried to adjust pickup height but I could not turn the screws. Granted, my screwdriver is not a very good one but my experience with other basses was that the screws are very easy to turn - which makes sense as there should be foam/springs underneath so not a lot of pressure on the screw. Is that normal? I definitely don't want to force it unless I am sure it is normal on this bass.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizontalste Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 You could try pushing down on the pickup near the screw just enough to take the pressure off, it's what I do every time I adjust any of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Can you undo the screws? It might be that they’re bottomed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo85 Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 No, I cannot undo them either. I gather from the answers that this is not normal really I was already sending it to Thomann to fix because it came with a wonky tone control that works intermittently. I guess now I'd just ask for a replacement.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
