I have a custom bass being built (5 string) and im using the guyker bridge and my luthier said he will need to shim the neck because it sits too high off the body and B string is bottomed out. He also said the ball end doesnt fit into the slot? Also it is INCREDIBLY hard to turn the tuners…. Any...

I believe i talked with dj im actually debating getting some wood knobs cuz im not a fan of the chrome on there now. And i cant seem to find any good 3rd party options from what i found on etsy🤷‍♂️

Wow this is the EXACT answer i was hoping for thanks!

Hoping someone here has input, im looking to upgrade my jazzpickups on my mtd saratoga to a set of bartolinis. Im wondering if anyone knows what size i would be looking for? Between trusting my own measurements and the size guide on the bartolini site not being simple im nervouse to just buy a set.

The one with the dual soapbars that are set closer to the bridge.

He was referring to the soapbar model

I actually had a lakland 55-02 skyline and loved it! Maybe i will revisit that! interesting. I emailed Roger and he said the metroexpress modern has a “medium C shape” and said “.83”-.96”” which idk what that means lol

Im debating between these 2 basses. I havent been able to play the sadowsky which is unfortunate but it seems amazing and i love their electronics. I was able to play the MTD and it plays great but its a 35” scale which is longer than i like but with the asymetrical neck it doesnt feel too long...

Tha ks for all the advice everyone! Im still new here so i must not be getting notifications from comments! Tons of options to look into!

I recently bought this bass and after taking it for a set up they told me the truss rod was maxed out and may need a new neck in the future. Im wondering what the best course of action for this is considering carvin is now kiesel.

How do u like the pickups?!

I dont have the necessary tools to do measurements, ill just take it back to the shop on monday

So i added some relief and the buzz on fret 7 is gone but now there is fret 6…there is also a lil buzz on fret 5 of the G string.

I found this post while experiencing the same issue. When i do what you suggested, the buzz goes away completely. What does this mean?
