Members FuzzyDXMG Posted May 2, 2009 Members Share Posted May 2, 2009 the bass forum sux, never anyone thereI need a bass for recording. I like my guitars with super low action. The bass im currently borrowing is an old ass fender jazz bass and the strings are like 3/8" off the board.How low can action get on a bass? am i expecting too much for it to be close to a Regular guitar?

Members telephant Posted May 2, 2009 Members Share Posted May 2, 2009 The bass needs to be set up properly. You can get the action on a Jazz Bass pretty {censored}ing low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FuzzyDXMG Posted May 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 2, 2009 not this one, the neck is fuxed. I can set a guitar up reasonably well. No truss rod or bridge adjustment is helping this puppy, its a MIM not that that matters so much. Its just a beat to {censored} bass, been thru hell. Sounds good tho! Just a major chore to play.

Members telephant Posted May 2, 2009 Members Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hmm. Ive had many a MIM Jazz Bass set up with super low action. You're right, the neck is probably {censored}ed. That sucks for whoever owns it. (maybe the neck joint needs a shim?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
