    Above nut buzz

    Ok, just did a setup and was able to lower the strings quite a bit before any fret buzz kicked in. What is are the "lazy loop" and "witness points" you guys are talking about? And yeah I figured as much OldDirtyBassist but sadly I can't really make my strings any longer now haha I'll lower the...

    Above nut buzz

    Here are the pictures, and no I do not use much bends. The neck relief is a tadd bit high at the moment so I'll adjust it and try to put a bit of tape in the nut under the A string to see if that gets rid of the buzz.

    Above nut buzz

    Thanks for the quick response. As for the break angle, how could that come in so spontaneous? The bass is about 1.5 years old and well not a cheapo replica haha so I hope it isn't fret wear. Any quick way to check that? The temperature outside has dropped about 10 degrees (winter overhere) but...

    Above nut buzz

    Hello all, I just noticed a buzz on my bass that previously wasn't there. It only buzzes on the open A string and when trying to locate it I found that it dissappeard when I put my finger on the string between the tuner and nut. When I push the string down with some force the buzz dissappears...

    What's your GAS and why?

    Band picked up a large show , private Christmas party

    That, and my experience is that the crowd is better because (at least the people organizing it haha) really want your band there. Generally, bars just want a band so that more people are in regardless if they like your music or not haha

    [RANT] Worst Gig Ever

    Hey at least you got to keep playing... Had a gig on a festival 2 weeks ago, beforehand we got an email that there would be a complete backline with amps, complete drumkit, everything. We got there and yes everything was there, the band that played before us (we were 2nd on that stage) cleared...

    Maruszczyk basses anyone?

    Played over a Barabass once, when Adrian (Maruszczyk's owner/founder) had a workshop in a bar near me. Sounded really good, but I played it with one of his basses, so couldn't compare it with my own bass or his bass on a different amp....

    Maruszczyk basses anyone?

    Thnx, the pups sound great, well balanced imho and not really HiFi but a nice slightly growly sound (hard to describe for me in English). I was really looking for the old school Hendrix kind of sound and I've found it with these pups (IMHO ;) ) The weight is good, haven't weighed it but I can...

    Maruszczyk basses anyone?

    Checking in as a proud Maruszczyk Elwood 4p owner. Maruszczyk build jazz pups, 3TS, alder body with maple top and I requested the maple for the neck to be a bit red giving it a more "aged" look. I'm really happy with the bass! Mine only has one imperfection, the ring around one of the tuners is...
