Hello

I posted pics on the old forum, I add new one here, still loving here, 32" scale is very fun to play.



(the fretboad is now clean as well as the brass (sortof). I may have a question, is normal that this piece is folded or should it be straight ?

Welcome to the new Club!


The base plate under the nut looks like it's been forced, it should be really flat. Someone must have adjusted the nut with some brute force, because they did not understand the way this works.


FIRST the bolt in the middle must be turned clockwise, because it is locking the nut upwards. Now you can turn the two outside bolts to adjust the height. And you finish by turning the middle bolt counter-clockwise, so the nut is locked into position again.

Thanks, it's fixed now!

Great! I didn't realize it would flatten out again.

With the help of a hammer, we could achieve lot of things

Ok nice, I may delete this post and continue in the other thread (I can't recover my previous account password unfortunately so I'm not able to edit original post with better pictures). For any question about my bass maintenance, can I post here or is there a more specific section in this forum?
