| Well, I got it done, figured it was best to get a shop to set it up initially to give me a starting point. Intonation is sorted for the first time ever! and the action is playable at the 12th, yay. He said he'd raise it slightly if I wa getting too much buzz, but I've decided to perservere with it for a bit as its highlighting some obvious right-hand (1BL read left-hand) issues which I want to clean up. Also started actually learning scales and chordal watsits and do-daas all going very well but my little finger is wondering what just hit it!!! |

| Good to hear, Tim. A nice setup can make a guitar (bass or otherwise) feel and sound so much more expensive than it was. I was quite happy/too lazy with my old Aria but did all the tweaks before sending it off to my buyer. I was a bit surprised how a quick quarter turn eliminated a tuning prob above the twelfth and improved action at the same time. True to form, though, I haven't spent quality time with either the Jim Reed or the Cort and the allen keys. They're both near enough to excuse my idleness, but I ought to make the effort. |
