bowed

So I found this video on youtube and it seems to be good advice … I want to try this on a bass. So please give me some feedback

So, I bought a really cheap Stagg bass guitar to mod it and before I started leveling frets, I realized the neck is bowed forwards when the truss rod is in relaxed state. I took it off a guitar 7 days ago, it's still bowed. What should I do about it? 1) Remove the frets and plane the...

Hey everyone. I've gotten some recommendations from some friends in the recording field about mics for home studio recording use. I was wondering if anyone out there has personal experience with any of these three mics? I'm looking for something that I can close mic with and have as my main...

Story time. So I sold a factory brand new Maple Fender Precision bass neck on Reverb about a month ago. I only owned the neck for two months, and bought it brand new from my local Guitar Center. Once I got it I knew I wouldn’t be keeping the neck long because I wanted to buy a different one...

Recently I bought a cheap bass off a guy I knew because I wanted a bass I could just leave at the church I play at. It's a five string Rogue and loosening the truss rod doesn't seem to actually do anything. I have a set of D'Addario 45-130 halfrounds on it. I have to have the bass tuned a full...

I have an 84' Peavey foundation with a maple neck that's in need of some repairs. From what I can tell the neck is bowed and it's in need of some saddle screws. It still sounds great, but it's hard to play. Any idea what the starting cost to adjust the truss rod and fix/replace the bridge, as...

Is it possible to bow the low E string with the octave above (on the A string) as a double stop? I don't play the instrument so I don't know if there would be an issue with the bow possibly inadvertently making contact with the D string. Cheers.

Hello folks :) So, I got this Steinberg 5-string bass with a graphite neck, that belongs to my brother-in-law (is that how you write "Brother in law"?) It has got a terrible high action in the middle of the neck due to its terrible front-bow in the neck. The neck doesn't seem to have a truss...

Howdy all, I got a ZON Sonus S4 fretless from a friend, but there's a bow in the neck and the company told me it's $875 to rebuild the neck. Yikes. The bass plays ok, but the action at the 9th fret is 1/4". Can a luthier straighten out the neck with heat and pressure?

I picked up a MIJ Mustang. It has some back bow to it with some unknown rounds on it. It had sat quite awhile in someones corner before they decided to get rid of it I have the Truss rod backed all the way off. Tuned to standard its still back bowed. I tried for a moment tuned it up to...

Hi - just wondered if any orchestral double bass players would have any issues playing the following bowed double stops. Cheers.

My current ear-training regime involves playing a fretless to the Suzuki Method bass recordings, which are all "arco" (bowed) on a double bass. Naturally this has me trying to fake a bowed tone fingerstyle, because that makes it easier to match the recording. Most of the time that people look...

Hi guys, I'm looking to pickup a fretless and an eBow to help sound like a bowed cello. I have heard some clips of an eBow in action and it usually sounds very synth-like. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on what I can do to help it make it sound more natural, like a bowed cello? I've...

Brand new, never-been-used full set of Kaplan medium-gauge strings (standard-length E string). Original packaging and everything. $110 USD / $140 CAN shipping included to CONUS and Canada.

Was just wondering if anyone knows of a repair shop that can fix a bass neck that is bowed in the middle. I believe some bowing issues can be repaired with the tension rod when the bow is near the body, but in this case it's right in the middle of the neck. Was hoping there might be a shop...

Anyone know where I might be able to get ahold of this? There is an excerpt from Scene 3 on an audition I am taking and some bowing suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Hello fellow bassists Growler571 here. I have a 2004 Am Standard Precision bass that has a neck that is warped inward and I have tightened the truss rod all the way until it feels like it doesn't want to tighten any more and the bow is still there at the first second and third frets. I don't...

I have a fretless jazz bass with a 2.5 mm front bow with no tension on the truss rod. The biggest gap is between the 7th and 8th fret area. I have read that this can be corrected by clamping the neck back flat. If I tighten the truss completely, I get a back bow without the neck ever going...

I wondering if some of you could help me: I recently bought a second hand Fender American Standard Jazz Bass in immaculate condition except for one thing. It feels like the truss rod is at the end of being tightened. Here's the back story, the owner never changed the strings on the bass for...
