Members FloydianAnimal Posted October 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 31, 2007 Thanks for all the replies guys. So on my Jazz I don't think there is anything wrong with the bridge. I'll file the nut slot and see if that helps. Also, on my P bass I have it string with Ernie Ball Power Slinkies:http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ernie-Ball-2831-Slinky-Round-Wound-Power-Bass-Strings?sku=100749 and my Jazz is string with GHS Heavy Bass Boomers:http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/GHS-H3045-Heavy-Gauge-Bass-Boomers-Bass-Strings?sku=100554 Like I said, P works great with that .110 set of Ernie Balls- I had that same set on my Jazz and that didn't work so I figured a .115 set would be better and got the GHS set since they were the only ones who made that kind of set. I'll try filing the nut but if that doesn't work, what kind of string set would you guys reccommend? maybe these heavy DR lo riders? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/DR-Strings-LoRiders-4Sting-Bass-Strings-Heavy?sku=105209 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Kindness Posted October 31, 2007 Moderators Share Posted October 31, 2007 I'll try filing the nut but if that doesn't work, what kind of string set would you guys reccommend?If that doesn't work, you have some other problem, most likely not the strings. Make sure the neck bolts are tightened and there is no movement at all in the neck pocket. Make sure there is enough of a break angle over the nut and bridge that the string is not sliding in the nut and/or bridge saddle. Make sure the truss rod is stable and not vibrating - which would also create a dampening effect. Make sure the bridge is secured to the body and that the bridge saddle is completely stable under playing conditions. Make sure the string is well wrapped around the tuning post and there is no slipping/stretching occurring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
