We got like 2 hours per week, which is wayy(2 y's) too little. We're trying to put together a practice place at one of our places. But the drums are an economic challenge for us. Problem was that we just kept doing the same songs, and do lots of repetition. Couldn't decide on what to do...

Thanks for your advices... I was wondering about another related thing though. Being bossy. That's a thing I'm abit worried about, how does it make the others feel? We could end up having like the three people decide all the time, and the others just have the option of do or leave.

Alright, so I'm in a band with five persons, and we have some issues. Many issues. How? Well, I was a smartass and gave every member of the band veto to all suggestions. Know, like the Beatles, and the UN Security Council... It's working more like the latter, though I wish it could be...

Tenkte jeg bare skulle sjekke innom her :P Så kunne jeg få et fint nummer. :)

Thanks guys for all the good advice ;) I'll try contact someone in my hometown and ask abit around. I'm planning us this bass for a decent time and a setup will probably be required some day.

@Mads, thank you, I really appreciate your offer, I live in Bergen, so I can't really make it an reality :) @Solarmist, true, I don't have a clue about the geometry of the bass, and mostly, I don't want my whole neck to explode like a string. When I find someone who can work on it, I'll ask...

Alright, so I managed to get a desirable EADG tuning. My saddles are almost not configured, except for the A, to remove some rattle. I think the mistake was that I tuned my strings the wrong way. I probably had too tight strings on E and G, and then my middle strings got altered. But I...

I adjusted my bridge back to default (the way I got it) and de-tuned the bass (loosened the strings). I'm gonna try tune it again, and if I keep getting rattles, then I got lots small plastic pieces that I can snug under the strings on the nut... Can the nut be worn down because of tight...

Well, I did, and they it does make an A-sound correctly now, but as you're saying, the string is further away from the frets. (I don't want to sound angry, but it's abit hopeless that people keep assuming things when I've clearly said what's the matter.) About getting strings, it's not...

That's exactly what I've done you see... The A string stands much taller than the other strings. I have to tighten the A-saddle (raise it) to make it make the A sound. I'm not sure about all the relief stuffs. But I'm sure my neck is all wrong, umm, the two middle strings rattles when I pick...

I'm tuning according the piano, the E, and then I use 5th fret + piano to tune the others.... I don't tune after pitch, just the tone. With some fiddling I managed to fix the rattling on the A (which is now an A, hurray), but placing a piece of plastic under the white supporter thingie at the...

Alright... I understand raising the saddle will most likely allow me to tune the string to A, (making it tighter.) should I do something about the intonation? Could anyone explain the term closer? (I'll google it anyways.) Please do not assume anything but what I've written. I see my friends...

The A string I use made an A on the other bass, while on this bass it's making an D. I think it's the bass that's the problem. Thanks for the help everyone.

All of the strings are regular normal bass strings, nothing customized, I'm not sure what kind of strings they are because they're not mine. (the replacement one). The bass I bought is meant for beginners, and I got in from an beginner package so..

I bought the bass from a quite trustable retail in Norway (Where I live.) I guess I'll take it back to them, get it changed somehow. It's probably a manufacturing mistake, but I can't really understand what's wrong with it, because it looks alright. Does the saddle have anything to do with the...
