This is just awesome.. :D Does the setup have much to do with the tone, (action mainly) at the moment my bass is about half a centimeter at the 12th fret, would lowering it just a touch help playability and/or getting the similar tone? Cheers :)
Thanks. I tell people all the time that the way the bass is set up has a lot to do with the "tone" or overall sound. Much of Geddy's sound comes from the buzz, clack, and grind as it does from the actual notes themselves. I use light strings, set my neck as close to straight as I can get it and set my action low as well. Adjusting a truss rod is not a big a mystery as I once thought it was. I'm sure you could find a tutorial on YouTube on how to do it safely.
