Attn: Anyone who is handy with musical instruments[views:3416][posts:13]____________________________________ [Aug 1,2010 12:18pm - immortal13 ""] The necks on both my basses are pretty warped, so I need them both set up pretty bad, and I do not trust myself to attempt it. one is an ESP C304 with a neck-through, the other is an Ibanez SR506 with a bolt-on. I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this? I don't wanna go to Guitar Center or Daddy's or whatever, end up being bass-less for a few weeks, and pay a fortune for it, but I am however willing to pay someone in either cash or a few cases of beer or something, whatever you prefer. I will probably supply a set of strings myself, and I'm willing to make a decent road trip out of it and drop them off somewhere for a few days. Anyone interested? |

| ___________________________________ [Aug 1,2010 3:28pm - immortal13 ""] Blue any idea where I could get information on that? |

| _______________________________ [Aug 2,2010 8:57am - m nli ""] I've been trying to find the link to this amazing site on truss rod adjustment but I can't find it. It's just a good read with a sort-of-scientific look at backbow, etc. You'll find enough info to do what you need. Unless you mean it's warped as in the neck is twisted...then you might be fucked. |

Quoted for "ya no shit" SRSLY, there's like a million good how-to-guides on the net, it really isn't rocket science. Just don't crank it a full turn or anything, easy does it. You'll be fine. |
