Getting a bass fixed up

[Thelowestoflow]

Hey i have an old plywood bass that i'm looking to make my jazz bass so i can put my belcantos back on my newer bass and make it my orchestral bass. i used to play it then i got a new bass and stopped and now the whole thing has gone out of whack (the bridge falls a lot, the sound post is off an inch or so, the distance between neck and strings is huge, ect.) I was wondering what I could do to get my plywood bass sounding and playing good again.

take it to a luthier?

Yeah, it's setup time. And no, you don't want to do it yourself. You don't know what kind of sound a talented luthier can coax out of your instrument!

Also, I noticed you discovered capitalization in the last sentence of your post. Good on you--keep it up.

Chill, man-on the DB side we tend to like good grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and literacy in general. It was a sincere compliment.
