How's it going guys? I recently purchased a used Sterling from the classifieds for $500. Seems to be one from the late 90's (waiting on serial NO. thread response). It's a beautiful piece of equipment and reminiscent of the tones I expected from tinkering at the local music stores.
Now that I have my dream bass, I realized I don't know ish about it. I bought it used so there's no manual or anything. Also, I have only owned training basses, meaning all valued at probably $200 or less. I am now owning a higher end bass guitar, albeit used, what are some tips to keep it functional.
I am getting it "set up" this week also polished, with new strings (dude had purple strings on this!) Anyways, what should I tell the technicians, and what questions should I expect to answer from them. I am going to a local and reputable shop, but they are charging me $90 just for the set up, so I really want this to be the best set up possible, what should I tell them?
I've never in my 10+ years of playing gotten someone to set up my guitar, weird to think someone is going to have their hands all over it etc. as I always been one to change strings myself etc. but it is a used guitar and I don't know much about it, any other tips yall can give me or am I over thinking all this?
