Video's of set up

Sign in to disble this ad
Ok, I am looking for some video's of how to set up a bass. I am totally hopeless when it comes to electrics and adjusting stuff - so I thought maybe a video guide would help.

Please post links.

Cheers, Simon

Not that I've seen. There are plenty of step by step tutorials. That's about it, no vids that I've seen.

What part of setting up your bass do you need to know? Tuning? Putting strings on? Intonation? Truss adjustment? The list goes on, but if you tell me I could help you.

I know how to tune and put strings on - I have been playing for over 5 years... I just need some advice on lower/raising my action, advice on what inotaition is, and what the purpose of the truss rod is.

Mainy just want to be able to adjust my entire neck to either lower or raise the action using the truss rod or this inotation thing (I sound dumb, I know). Simon
