I got it too. It's increadibly well done. Great detail & illustrations. I wish I had recieved an e-mail like that back when I started doing my own set-ups. Oh well.....I've learned the old fashioned way....trial & error.....lot's of error.......finally, I started getting it right (like this guide teaches you to do......without ruining your bass.

+1 this should be in the "all basic..." sticky thread, and IMO before the Fender, Sadowsky and other guides that are posted in there!

When Jerzy sent out the spanish version of the guide about a week ago, judging from the photos and illustrations, I could see this was going to be a valuable, in-depth guide to bass setup. I received the english version in this morning's email from Jerzy. I've since printed it out in color and put it in a 3-ring binder. I can't wait to go through it this weekend. I might even setup my Jerzy Drozd bass!

I downloaded this also awhile ago, it really is definitive in my opinion. I thought I understood quite a bit, but A LOT of what I had known was slightly sketchy after I read this. Thanks to Jerzy for such an awesome, easy-to-understand manual!

Very complete! I see that he is also emphatic about changing strings one at a time, which I have never done. Maybe I'll give that a try next time...I do it very seldom.

This is probably the best pamphlet on setting up a bass I've ever read, and it was free. Jerzy is an awesome guy for doing this.
