Ive got this '95 Samick YBT6629 neck thru and im looking to set it up. it intonated alright except last 2 strings, as well as some fret buzz on low B string. saddles are pretty much maxed out, and the truss rods were: Bass, almost loose. Treble, very tight. So i loosened everything, rods and...

Hope you all are doing well!! I just received a 2016 Rickenbacker 4003 yesterday and the neck is twisted. I have had about ten 4003 and 4003s combined and none of them had a twist even close to this bad. The seller changed the strings to LaBelle flats 43 - 104. I don't think these strings are...

Hello tb I just bought my new bass its 2012 mim fender When first i received it, there was no uneven relief on the neck(both .01inch). But as i changed the strings 4 times(stainless->nickel->stainless flats->stainless)..just in 2weeks… Neck relief is now greater under g string(E-0.008in(0.2mm)...

Finally...after over two years of building this bass, it's new bass day! I call it "Twisted Sister". This is a twisted neck bass. On purpose. It has -20 degrees at the nut and +15 degrees at the bridge, a total of 35 degrees of twist. The concept was invented Jerome Little (Torzal) and the idea...

So my bass (a Fender American Pro) has had issues with buzzing on the G string only from frets 3 to 6. I first believed this to be a relief issue and, although adding more relief alleviated the issue to some degree, it didn’t eliminate it. I’ve been to a tech twice who has levelled the frets and...

I found it have slightly more relief under e string than on the g string. Ive checked it with capo...

A few years back I purchased a rather large, and rather precious, slab of crotch walnut with the idea of making the whole bass in one piece from it. That thread is over here: One piece black walnut crotch headless 6 string After starting that build I realized any kind of screw-up would wreck...

Dear fellow players, I'd appreciate your help with the following questions: 1) Could you please provide a resource (video, pictures, or explanation) that, in your opinion, could clarify how to identify twisted necks? I have read and watched some videos, but I can't seem to grasp the concept or...

Twisted neck, multiscale, 5 string, by Jerome Little

Hi there. I’ve got a maple neck 1975 Fender Precision Bass that’s been in my possession since 1992. The issue I have is that while I can get the action quite low on the D and G string, attempting to do likewise with the A and E strings produces buzzing, but only at the 12th fret. It plays low...

Does anyone have any experience with them? My MIM Fender P bass has a twisted neck and I figure it's not worth getting fixed since I could get a brand new neck for the price of the repair. I was gonna get another Fender MIM P bass neck that's sold everywhere so it could match. Then I stumbled...
