    less relief / flatter = lower action
    more relief / bow = higher action
    do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your pressious!
    also, if you are lucky enough to have a 100th namm sr4: the truss works the other way around on that one!

    just ramp up the meds
    bovinehost: Yes, I do agree with that, but if there's nothing wrong then there's nothing wrong.
    Beth: I would compare Bongo to Tommy Lee Jones. Bad a$$ and just hot in a weird way...
    cheezewiz: They should take their lace thongs off and play bass.


    Stingray 5 Classic, coral red
    Bongo 5 H, Dargie Delight, in some cave somewhere...
    Bongo 5 HH, Black w/ rosewood neck
    Heinz The Wonder Bass, going back to Jack...

    But yessss... Just a hint.

    Thanks! BTW - that little white thing in the lower left is a reflection from something. Sure looks like a hole, but I just checked to make sure it wasn't real.
