Road worn bass resurrection
Fender jazz bass set up & repair
Tom, our leader axe builder can fix and set up your bass the way you want.
If your bass needs TLC, he's your man.
This red Fender Jazz bass had fret buzz, a dull / muted top string and,
when it was played it just sounded out of tune, even tho the strings were tuned perfectly.
Tom prescribed truss rod adjustment, (!!!) a touch of fret re-crowning and smoothing
off the top string on the bridge saddle. When Tom stripped the bass apart,
he found dry solder joints and a load of loose scratch plate screws.
This bass has seen some action, it was almost on its last legs, but now,
after its full overhaul, it's been resurrected.
It sounds awesome, it plays so sweet.

Heavy Strings for Heavy Musicians
Thicker strings for lower tunings - Squier Jazz Bass
This natural wood finish bass was crying out for heavier strings for heavier music.
The original set up was standard - EADG tuning. It was good but
it wasn't right, the sound wasn't what I wanted.
So, I swapped the standard 50 - 105 strings for Power Slinky 55 - 110 strings for detuned DGCF tunings.
I adjusted the truss rod and intonation, suddenly this standard bass was in perfect pitch and
had a beautiful action, it's totally gig ready!
Often guitars have major issues when players don't adjust their instrument to the right
string gauge and tuning. Your guitar or bass may feel fine at the beginning
if you change the string gauge or adjust the tuning, but, over time the neck
could warp out of shape and throw your intonation right out of the window.
String set up is arguably the most important element to a guitar or bass,
if you're not set up right, you're gonna have a bad time!
