Is this bad???

[Tapout73]

I'm about a month in to taking lessons and my bass has fret buzz while playing an open strings. Headin to my lesson now, This is messed up.

Yes very bad. Take a shovel and dig a 4 foot by 4 foot hole 7 feet deep. Take a couple of prunes and soak them in the 18 year old Scotch that has been sitting around not being drank. Take 4 colored pencils, 3 dill pickles, and a Florida orange and throw them in the hole you dug with the bass. Light the prunes after they have soaked in the alcohol for 2 days and throw them in the hole as well. Dance around the hole yelling "Oh Gods of the Truss Rod, help me with my infliction!!!!!" Package up the leftover Scotch and ship it to me.






EDIT: Probably just needs a setup due to weather/humidity change. If you haven't ever adjusted a truss rod, pay the money to have it done. You can still send me the Scotch though.

Word!

Hahahah!

My instructor said it was probably due to the weather change here in kc. Apprently when the temps go from 20 degrees to 60degrees in a short time it can wreak havoc on the neck or something.

The owner of the shop looked at it afterwards, messed around with the truss rod, said "Do you mind if I keep this overnight and work on it tomorow, its gonna take some time." Sigh....

Gets the shovel and scotch ready, you prefer blended or single-malt?

[fenderhutz]

The only thing I take blended is a milk shake.

It's Single Malt off the River Spey in the highlands (or it's many tributaries) or nothing my friend.

I heard that if you buy a tshirt and a bumper sticker from talkbass.com the gods of the truss rod will look favorably on you, so I did.
