Baby’s first self-setup - Squier 70s Jazz

Hi there!

Let me share my 2 cents about this.
I have 2 different setups on my 2 basses.

I think that, aside from fixing some intonation problems or adjusting the rattle, everything else is pretty subjective.

Some people like high action, some likes low or really low action (like Jason, from Fodera), pickups high is also a matter of personal taste.

Out of all the videos I saw out there, the ones I found most informative, were from Jason from Fodera

That’s the playlist, is out of order tho, so you will need to jump between videos.

As the other bass-mates mentioned, isn’t a hard process, but setting up your bass could quite some time until you get the configuration you like the most.
Just take it slowly, and play around until you find the sound you like.
