Question Help with Set-up

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi, i have myself got my hands on a Maison TB-380 bass and from what ive found out about them, lets just say people dont like them.
This is my first bass and it will be my project but i need some help on this setup. how do i set the length of the strings at the base of the bass if you know what i mean? i dont want to have to pay heaps of $$ for someone to do something so simple, i own 6 string acoustic and electric guitars so i know a little but this is a new ball game to me. i suspect something might be wrong with the pots, can you select between pickups or is it a fade in fade out sort of thing? i may sound silly to some but i would appreciate any help that can be thrown my way

Check out YouTube. There are 4 videos by John Carruthers which will correctly answer this and all related setup questions. I've watched a bunch of how-to's there and these are by far the best, IMHO.
