tuning problem, steady tone not happening

[DaveyontheBass]

when i play a note it starts sharp then goes flat to a steady tone, i have a ibanez srx350 rotosound strings, the action is a little high and the intonation is a little sharp i dont know if that effects it, what do yall think it could be?

[jefkritz]

how big is this effect? a few cents? a half-tone (one fret)?

this is normal, but is generally only noticeable when tuning, and would be only a few cents (ie a fraction of a half-tone). if it's more than this, you've got a bonafide issue on your hands.

its just a tiny bit sharp but if i play faster the note doesnt have time to settle and go flat so u only have time to hear the sharp tone
