@inspector_7152 5 лет назад

Since you release tension on the truss rod you should also push the neck in the desired direction to eliminate internal friction. Else you risk of overdoing this job nice you start playing it. Also: In case of reversing: Applying more tension on the truss rod should be done with diminished string tension.

Great video James! Have you ever considered doing a full video on how you setup your bass? I can't be the only one one who would love to watch that. No matter what I do I seem to set the strain height too high, you can give the base a great sound but it makes it hard to finger the notes. I'd love to hear a professional like yourself just explaining how you set yours, how much room you leave between the strings of the fret with the shadowski measuring method.

@sexyeur 5 лет назад

Good lesson! Stupid question though. What are the limits to the turns you can give the truss rod? Does it turn indefinitely in either direction? Or do you need to worry for stripping the screw and/or bolt. I'm going to have to find a video on how truss rods operate mechanically I guess. I truly appreciate this video. I'm now going to go use what I just learned here! Thank you so much!

@paulevans4334 4 года назад

It all depends on the level of fret buzz. If you have got alot of it the best cure is to have the frets levelled, which is not hard to do. Just did my first fret levelling job on a replacement neck for my 72 hohner p bass.

@christophebunn4539 6 лет назад

Thanks for the empirical technique; until then I'd only seen this stuff done with a bunch of measurement tools that I don't want to clutter my house with... But despite your reassuring words in the end, the other how-to videos systematically warn about the high risk of damaging the bass if you tighten or untighten the truss rod just a little too much. Are there any early signs (e.g., sound, feel) that indicate I should stop turning?

@H0kram 2 года назад

I know this in an old comment but it's very relevant for anyone who'd read : first, it's not something you'd do '' during a gig '' as mentionned in the video. Because wood doesn't bend instantly like steel does. To bend wood, and not break it, it has to be done gently, and it takes days ( even a week ), for it to be perfect. With possible further adjustments in the process. As for signs : if you do it gently and slightly ( and 1/8th of a turn ) and be patient, and yet don't get what you wanted, take it to a shop, don't push it. There should be no sound on a new or recent bass, could be one on older basses coming from the truss rod itself which can be fixed with a tiny bit of lubricant but again, in doubt, stop everything, and take it to the shop.

@mustardbomb 4 года назад

Dude, thank you. Helped me so much. Sounds 100% better and I didn't have to waste time taking it back to the person that put the strings on it and "set it up." At this point not sure what he even did other than the strings. :p

@ebassguitar 4 года назад

My pleasure!

@rastanot 4 года назад

Dude, changing your own strings is essential to learn if you haven't. For those of you out there new to playing bass, strings make a huge difference in your sound and it's a good idea to experiment early in your career. 1. Keep a backup set of strings in your case like you would with a spare tire. If you're playing a gig, in a recording studio or just at rehearsal and a string breaks you'll need to be able to fix it right away. 2. I'd start with a set of Ernie Ball super slinky's or GHS boomers, then work your way into different gauge strings, try flats, try coated, try different metals. The world of bass strings is vast and finding the ones that have the best feel, sound and longevity that suits your genre, style and budget is where it's at. 3. Old strings are unsuitable for live performances and especially recording sessions. As strings wear they lose their punchy lows and crispy highs. Almost every type and different brand has a unique lifespan. Cost is not always the primary determining factor. Playing style, humidity and oxidation (rust usually forms when the bass goes unplayed, typically in a humid environment, but can happen anywhere really.) 4. Winding up a new set of strings is rewarding. Like a fly set of kicks, a fresh haircut or a set of sticky track tires, brand new strings are a bass players moments of joy.

@mustardbomb 4 года назад

@@rastanot @John Smith I have changed them but I just recently bought this guitar used and he was cleaning it up and checking the neck out and pickups and everything so I figured he'd want the strings off to do that but wasn't sure. So I just had him go ahead and put the new strings on it. Bass Boomers medium. Always loved those.

I was told that it's much safer to adjust the trussrod losening the strings first. Also, the same guy told me that I should adjust the trussrod just a tiny little bit at the time (something like an 8th of a turn) anche then wait for a few hours so that tha bass neck will adjust itself. Is all of the above wrong?

@Synequanon 6 лет назад

I've been told the same, so we had two luthiers saying the same thing about turning the truss rod slowly and to loosen the strings. I guess better be safe than sorry.

@royhoward119 Год назад

James, have you ever considered doing a video on doing a full setup on a bass? It would be great to learn how to determine optimal string height and action. I feel like my strings are too high, but I have no idea how to tell for certain. Sometimes I wonder if I'm expecting too much. Is there such a thing as strings being too low?

@ebassguitar Год назад

Not for RU-vid… but I’ve often thought about a set course for the Bass Lab PLUS! Effectively the lower the strings the lighter you have to play… there will be a point where it’ll probably stop working!

@royhoward119 Год назад

@@ebassguitar Thanks James! I hope you do decide to make that course, I think it would be incredibly helpful and I have no doubt it would be extremely popular. I know for myself it would be doubly helpful. I definitely need the information, I feel like I'm shooting in the dark trying to give my instrument to set up. And, I have a new weapon! I don't just love the way that you teach, and admire the way that you play, but I also love the sound and tone you get. And so because of you, I've just purchased my first Sadowsky! I'm trying to figure out how to get it set up best for the way I play. I found two videos on RU-vid from Roger Sadowsky on doing a setup, and I keep trying to mimic his instructions. I think I finally gotten it shut up about where he explained to his videos, as far as neck relief and action. So I have the string set at his target measurements, but when I play it still feels to me like the strings are too high. Basically I don't really know what I'm doing..... 😲

@Mati05jp 3 года назад

you have to always release the strings tension before doing any adjustments to the rod... adjust and then re tune. also is very difficult to do it by eye. you need to use a capo and engineers rule to do this properly. note that over a few days it will settle too.

@ebassguitar 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing. I’m sure the are reasons why that’s preferable… in my experience you don’t ‘have to’ release the string tension. It still works fine.

Fret a string at the first and about fifteenth fret. It becomes a straightedge between the two fretted points. The distance between string and fret at about the 7th fret is a good representation of the neck relief, or "bow". Become familiar with the measurement which works for you.

Had the same problem with my new Fender J bass... Normally you have to tighten the truss rod (instead of loosen it as he shows it in the video)

We also used to always call them Allen key wrenches... but that's a trade name like calling all gelatin Jello

Is the generic name some like hex keys?

@johnmoser2689 4 года назад

@@ebassguitar Originally named Allen Manufacturing Company, the business produced hexagonal set screws and wrenches to fasten them. The terms "Allen wrench" and "Allen key" are derived from the Allen brand name and refer to the generic product category "hex keys"

You should do a video on the entire history of the truss rod!

@jessstuart7495 5 лет назад

Or the previous owner thought it would be a good idea to file down the nut. A twisted neck can also be the culprit.

@eds6889 4 года назад

Jess Stuart ... agreed they are reasons for buzzing but his buzz showed up after a string (brand, scale etc) change.

My bass frets for open notes only I don’t know what to do

You forgot to mention string hight. That has a magor affect on weather you get fret buzz or not, especially when you're adjusting your neck relief .

@ebassguitar 6 лет назад

Paul Evans I can see that. I made the video on the premise that the action was set correctly in the first place. In my experience string height doesn’t move by itself but neck relief does..

@phillippasteur3904 5 лет назад

The entire process is about string height. The bridge didn't move... The neck did!

If i put more bow, it's too hard to fret... If i diminish it, then i immediately get too much fret buzz

@bikerboi4197 4 года назад

See a professional. I would assume you should be willing to pay, i havent exactly seen any pros about any of my instruments (i cant afford it because people in the past screwed up our lives so now children cant get jobs) but i think that would be the best route

Sounds to me like he fixed the fret buzz on the part of the fretboard. That’s like using sandpaper to get rid of an itchy butt. Yeah, it might do the trick, but there are side effects and it’s simply not the right way to do it, and you’ll be chasing your tail endlessly, fixing playability in one small part of the neck relief curve, in exchange for ruining intonation or creating dead strings which can’t carry much volume because they are partially muted by the very slight contact with several frets between your fingered fret and the bridge. Not good. Was your car dirty? So why did you use paint thinner to clean that bird poop on your hood? It’ll work, but it will also bite you.

So andrew, you’ve shared what I should not have done… how about sharing what I ‘should ‘ have done?

@dylanmujica1706 5 лет назад

What if its an open string and its buzzing?

@ebassguitar 5 лет назад

That could be a combination of truss rod and saddles at the bridge. It could also be the nut... maybe get a tech to look at it?

@dylanmujica1706 5 лет назад

@@ebassguitar I figured it out. The string wasn't flush with the gaurd near at the head of the guitar.

@travisshredsbass 4 года назад

Wow!!! You're ruining those new strings with that screwdriver. At least detune the a and d before adjusting the truss rod.

@ebassguitar 4 года назад

I disagree... there’s plenty give in the strings. No point in making the job harder than it needs be and it’s makes it simpler to see if the tweaks are working. You’re messaging more with equilibrium of instrument by constantly changing the tension of the strings

@rastanot 4 года назад

Adjustment to a truss rod under the nut can definitely cause indents in the D or A strings if you haven't detuned them first. It's all good though, there's enough play in the strings where he's making adjustments at the bottom of the neck.
