Adjusting the Action on Bass

natselection · #1 01-21-2007, 07:28 PM

Hey, do you recommend playing around with the hex screws to adjust the action on a warwick? should i bring it somewhere to be professionaly done or is it simple to do on my own?

It's easy enough that you can do it yourself. I like to set it as low as I can without getting buzz, then raising it a little bit. I then make sure every string is even and there you go.

warwicks are easy because they have the adjust a nut, so rather then adjusting the truss rod you can do with the nut, for smaller things of course. play with it till you get it, but stay away from the truss rod unless ytou know what your doing

Sorry Wrong. They are not at all for the same thing.

Yikes! You should never adjust the truss rod in order to raise or lower your action.
