Hello all,
Tried the general discussion but it was suggested I tried here...
Hoping to get some help with my Earthwood bass. It is a 6" body made in late 1982. I just had a small crack repaired and want to lower the action. I have the wrench but it does not seem to do anything. I have the instructions to loosen the main screw but there is no referance to how many turns to lower or raise the neck. I dont want to break it. Also the adjustment wrench only goes in an inch or so and I cannot feel it engage in a screw, or it turns very easily. Possibly a fine thread?
Also not sure how to best set up a fretless. I like my fretted set up on the lower side and it seems this is kind of high at just under 1/4" at the end of the fretboard.
Appreciate any input into maintaining this awesome instrument,
PS one on the bay for anyone interested, one off?
