Outkast - Ms. Jackson

well i kinda messed with the truss rod before tuning the strings. cause i remember being told that to adjust the bass you do truss first. and i couldnt tune it because the strings were laying on the frets. so i adjusted the saddles and the truss rod to loosen it up since you guys were saying its...

No metal rulers. Just a regular wood one. I put the b string saddle pretty high and the string was still laying on the frets

It's a rogue lx205b and the neck seems straight to me

Yeah it's laying right on the frets for most of the neck. So are the other strings

i just got a new 5 string today and the action is really low. It won't even tune. When I press on the frets on the B string, there's no downward movement until the 10th fret. I've never adjusted a bass before so I'm not sure what exactly needs to be adjusted.

I'm writing about the band and need some stats. Honest votes :thumbsup:

It sounds good to me

Your tab is messed up man

Does learning a new instrument actually improve your bass playing? How? Between upright bass and violin. Which would you guys recommend? Or, should the new instrument not be a string at all?

I'd say YYZ

I know a few like Wynonas big brown beaver, my name is mud, john the fisherman, Harold of the rocks and like 10 or so Geddy bass lines. I think a good bass line is something that is technical and melodic. I want to make stuff like that but it's hard

I've been having a hard time composing bass lines. I know major scales and a few ways to play them but I can't put them together to make good music. I really want to compose bass lines that are a mix between Les Claypool and Geddy. How do I do it?

I left it at the default action but I plan to get it set up sometime this week or next
