  • is there such this as "bass strings too high"? because my strings are high by frets 12 and higher

  • There are a couple of possibilities, I fthe neck is straight enough then maybe your bridge saddles ares set too high. If the neck has excessive bow in it the Truss Rod needs attention. After the action and feel of the neck is correct, then you have to intonate the instrument so that it plays in tune at those adjustment.

  • "Everybody else can't be wrong" This statement covers a whole plethora of issues with "BassStudios".

    Remember It's not who is sued but, who is sued successfully.

    Issues of bass adjustment should be left to those other than individuals who (by their own admission) traded their basses in every 2 years rather than change strings. IMO they would not be the ones to ask for bass adjustment advice. Think about it...

  • Regarding "Remember It's not who is sued but, who is sued successfully.", Frivolous lawsuits are filed from time to time but they rarely go anywhere. Disinformation is so common in these matters. You said she said... Whatever.

  • The person who propagated this myth started out saying that you could bring the bridge saddles "a lot" now they are claiming you should bring them back just "a little". If you adjust your bridge saddle position for anything but intonation you are doing it wrong....

  • it stays in tune...

    i think its the bridge saddles thanks

  • What he states in this video is correct. How you can even try and argue with it, when he just proved the fact that moving the bridge alters the intonation, is beyond me. But don't just take our word for it, go down to your local guitarstore and ask the staff this very question, and not one single one will reply that moving the bridge does not effect intonation.
