if that doesnt work, try bacon grease

well, I didnt really suceed. I was able to get rid of the buzzing, but the strings are too far off the neck. I turned the truss rod key until there was only minor buzzing in the upper frets and thne I adjusted the string heights from there. Im guessing I need to go and lower the strings a bit, but does that mean I may have to turn the truss rod more?

Im gonna leave it overnight and tackle it tomorrow. Maybe it will settle more and I can see fully whats going on.

You need someone to show you how to setup your bass. There is nothing the matter with your bass other than you haven't been taught how to make it right yet.

We can explain all day long in writing it is going to still without a good setup.

Find someone to get it right once and then you can take it from explanations on this board.

That is your new gig hat right Jack? It doesn't appear to be well traveled.

[bovinehost]

Same old hat I've had for a couple of years now.

Brian prematurely ages his, but mine's a Stetson so I treat it right.

Understand that. Brian must really be hot though his shirt done caught fire.

I think he means before he dropped it - IIRC, it fell off the strap on it's first outing . . . . **ouch**.

Im just thrown off because I can set up my two Warwicks with my eyes closed and that takes a lot more effort than this one. I really think Im just too excited to get to playing, so Im over doing it

Doesn't Gav have an absolutely excellent tutorial about setting up EBMM basses around here somewhere? I printed out a copy & put it in my case. It's very, very easy to follow & should give great results!

Aha! Here's one of his posts which I think covers everything well.
