I found some info on witness points. Thank you! https://hazeguitars.com/blog/string-seating-and-witness-points

sorry for my ignorance, what is the technique for checking witness points.

I do not understand your question. Are you going to read the first post on page 1 for the context setting?

Hello gang, I just changed my bass strings and as mentioned above, I had Marcus Miller 45-105 stainless steel strings through the body and now I put D'Addario EXL165 45-105 Nickel wound strings without passing through the body and directly on the Bridge. After adjusting the intonation, this is...

OK! Thanks gang for the valuable advice.

I wonder if I should remove the shim that luthier put in and readjust the bass?

Yes the intonation sounds correct. When I give my bass in open string, 12 fret and harmonic is good.

No, he's not a guy in a store, there's an instrument fitting company. The place where I live there is no luthier and I live on an island. So when I go out I'll have my bass checked by another luthier. I dare not try to make changes on my bass by myself at the risk of making it worse.

Yes I know, but it's to know if my bridge is placed in the same place as another Yamaha BB434.

Hello, after reading about the yamaha bass, I bought a new yamaha BB434. I had it adjusted by a luthier and he told me that I had bought a lemon, because it had several faults for a new bass. Among other things, he had to wedge the bolt-on neck to adjust the intonation. I had Marcus Miller...

Hello Crankypants, I bought a yamaha BB434 last August. I had it adjusted by a luthier and unfortunately this bass had several flaws. Hello, after reading about the yamaha bass, I bought a new yamaha BB434. I had it adjusted by a luthier and he told me that I had bought a lemon, because it had...

Ok thank you. :thumbsup::bassist:

OK I understand. Currently I have Dunlops Marcus Miller 45-105 stainless steel super bright. So if I want to put 45-105 Nickel Wounds I wouldn't need to touch the intonation since it's the same gauge of strings.
