Hey. I've recently switched over to using a movable anchor instead of keeping my thumb planted on the pickup when I play. I've also started to keep my right hand lifted off the bass, too. It's only been a week and my progress with this technique has been good, but I'm having trouble when...

Sorry for having to ask this, but what does it mean when a truss rod is stripped? My understanding of what it is is not exactly clear.

What's the string spacing?

For those who own Atelier Z basses, can you tell me how you came to own yours? I know that they're pretty hard to find here in the US, but I'm just wondering if there is maybe some store that is known to sell them.

Hey. I know that Atelier Z basses are Japanese basses, but I was wondering if its possible to find them in the United States. And if you own an Atelier Z, how did you get it?

Hey. I have a question about adjusting the truss rod on my bass. When I move the truss rod, should I remove the strings or does it not matter? And if it means anything, I own a 5-string Fender Deluxe Active Jazz bass.
