Julia from Thomann is really awesome, kind of reminds me a bit of Josh in her cheerful and playful approach!
I think I have some kind of curvature problem in the neck of my HB as it buzzes when fretting the 7th/8th frets mainly in the E and A strings. I’ve done a bit of research and found this guide:
… Problem being that my bass does not have a truss rod or at least I’m not able to locate it ; I assume this is part of being a mid to low end device.
Guess maybe I’ll have to take it to a local music store.
If you take it in fir a setup maybe they can show where the truss rod adjustment is and what size wrench it needs.
@howard has a video he has found that he likes to recommend. It’s very good and I also like this one …
Although it’s certainly possible to do your own setup and many people do, it may give you more confidence in your instrument to have it done the first time.
hey josh. great site. ive been playing bass since i was 11. toured with national act blackeyed susan in the early 90s and a bunch of cover and studio work. switched over to playing guitar and fronting my own original projects over the years, i will be 50 in april 2022. just started teaching my 21 year old bass upon his request and i am trusting in this site to guide him. you’re playing and approach is very pro and common man at the same time. love it. but i also have started playing more bass on my current project i am working on. so buying basses again. lol. more to come. my profile pic is of me at 14 playing a talent show in philly. my bradley bass, fender jazz knockoff i learned on. time flies. cheers!!!
Wow so many newbies, welcome to you all.
I started the Badass course at beginning of Nov, I’m on Module 8 now and absolutely loving it. There will be times when something just doesn’t go right and you can’t get the hang of it … but keep plugging away and then it will eventually click in your mind and it’s the best feeling ever.
I finally got it before my head exploded. I actually needed to reconfigure the sound card on the laptop. The big hurdle was finding it!
Thanks all for the guidance.
I need to bookmark that one myself, as I always end up hunting around for the posts
