Hi, thanks for your reply and for sharing your experience. I stopped by GC today and the setup guy did a neck pocket adjustment. The string alignment looks a bit better now than before, but the issue is still there. Like in your case, it seems the nut might be the problem. For now, I’ll...

I am wondering what’s the difference between this and player ii modified jazz v?

Thanks! That doesn’t look too difficult. Hopefully the GC tech can take care of it on my bass and that will resolve the issue. I actually went to GC today with my bass, but unfortunately the setup guy wasn’t there. I did get a chance to try another Ultra II while I was there, and honestly it...

Unfortunately, I don’t know how to adjust string placement (like changing spacing beyond the saddle adjustment or shifting all the strings toward the bass side). From what I’ve read here, it seems like something involving the neck, but I’d rather not try it myself. I’m comfortable with basic...

Thank you all for your comments and feedback—I really appreciate it. I agree that the distance from the G string to the edge of the fretboard doesn’t look too bad. The string placement is slightly off-center (leaning toward the treble side), but I’m not sure that’s the real cause since the...

Thank you all for comments. I plan to bring the bass to GC first and maybe exchange/return it unless they can resolve the issue easily. By the way, I measured the distance to the edge of the fretboard of my two basses (one has an issue and the other does not). It was a bit tricky to measure and...

Hi all, I recently picked up a Fender American Ultra II Jazz 5 in Sinister Red and have been enjoying it for about a month. There’s just one thing that keeps bugging me: when I play the G string up in the higher register, it often slips off the edge of the fretboard. It happens pretty...

I have not. I will look into that. Thanks!

I guess I should have added a bit more details. It was not my judgement, but the FOH guy's opinion that the mix is good with the volume of bass that seemed (to someone) loud on its own. He said to everyone that 'the balance is great.' after playing with that bass sound. I am not sure if it is...

Thank you for your reply. I used to go directly into PA and used IEM when we had our own church building. Now, we don’t have enough number of channels. FOH told us that we have only 4 channels. One is taken by the drummer. One by the leader, one by the keyboard player, one by singers. Only tje...

Thank you for suggestion. I indeed cut the bass of the amp all the way down, but did not boost middle. I’ll try that. Maybe I have to adjust my HX stomp setting. I agree that maybe the tone that sounds bad on its own works better with the mix.

Thank you all for your replies. First of all, I tried a stand though I am not sure the angle was perfect, but it did not work. It is not that I can’t hear any sound from my base. I can feel the presence of low end while standing in front of my amp but I can’t rally tell the notes that I am...

Hi all I play bass every Sunday at a local church and the venue is a high school auditorium. It’s not too big maybe can containt 200~300? Currently, I use Rolando Super Cube Bass 60 and the bass amp is not miced. So, no IEM or wedge monitor for bass and no bass in PA. The stage amp is the only...

Thank you for your reply. I did more test and the results vary depending on the situation. When I plugged the instrument directly to my audio interface, it is quite quiet especially when the instrument is in passive mode and the input gain is not extremely high. In active mode, I hear slight hum...

I recentrly bought a new American Ultra Precision Bass from Guitar Center (within 45 days return period) and it makes noise. Touching the strings or not does not make differences and neither changing pickup selections. Noise is more pronounced in active mode. I have to apply noise gate in my hx...
