Today I received aGibson eb2 to setup, this is the first eb2 in my shop. The action was crazy high about 9 mm. I though I could make some bridge adjust, so I lowered the bridge. The bridge was not going down... The mute was in the middle. Removed the mute... filed the saddles... Now the action...

Well I´m suposed to be the tech. I´ve built some basses from lumber I´ve done at least 12 refrets and I´ve built a double bass fingerboard and dressed three more... Im pretty confident I got some basic skills on fingerboards and frets. The relief is quite uniform on both sides of the neck. Im...

Mostly over the 12th fret and some random spots over the 4-6 frets. It looks the frets have been dressed a couple of times. Right now there is no tall fret in the instrument. Ive tried to put less relief on the neck and raise the saddles, then im going over 3mm on g string...

I would say no. I got nice straight edges and fret rocker, theres no tall fret or high spot at this moment!? This is weird...

Hello everybody. I´m having problems in my shop setting up a 1976 Jazz bass. There was some random high frets, so I told the owner to make some levelling. I made the levelling properly and the bass keeps buzzing, despite the high action. The the best setup I get with 0.4 mm of bow is 12th fret...

Thanks for responding! Good answers specially the photo trick thing. I´ve read a little about panga panga Its from the same genus looks like an interesting wood to work with Looks like I´ll be making some test samples and make a decision. BTW I will put a finish on it since the body is made of...

Yes its clear there is no way to get grain pattern this is riftsawn wenge on the top and flatsawn in the headstock. My main concern is about get some red color in the clear part of grain. In my previous bass I used some quartersawn wenge and filled the grain with shellac and pumice then finished...

Hello everybody! I´m about to finishing this bass I was wondering about get some grain contrast in the wenge top when finishing. I know very well that some types of finish like oil tend to make wenge dark and hide the contrast in the grain so how do they get this? :

Thanks for responding "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder. This is corny man, I´ve played it hundreds of times, and not very funky... I would prefer to play Higher Ground which I have played just too many times. "634-5789" by Wilson Pickett. "Green Onions" by Booker T and the MG's. RnB...
