Members search now Posted January 18, 2009 Members Share Posted January 18, 2009 ya, I read about 14 . Is that about right? Do you do it like a guitar? capo on 1st fret, fret on last fret, measure at 7th fret? I aint fussy its just a bass after all ,it doesnt have to be perfect,like a guitar. I accidently bought 105 e string ,strings and now I have to re-set the whole setup. I might have to go back to a lighter guage but I will try these 1st. I had 105s on it a long time ago and got it playing so I could play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TFM53 Posted January 19, 2009 Members Share Posted January 19, 2009 Pretty close on your setup.Capo on 1st fret,fret the 12th fret,measure on Fender's at the top of the 8th fret (.015" - factory).Also I should mention,take into account your playing style and fret buzz.This is just a starting setting.I do hope this helps you out!T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know something they dont,or are you a typical bass player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
