Do you only say you're bisexual because it broadens your horizons of getting laid because you're desperate or do you really have those feelings?(

Are you as frightened of truss rods as I am?(

Nope. (P Bass owner, never needed to touch it)Just leave it. Do it on the bridge if you needs to be adjusted.
Is your neck bowing that badly? You getting frett buzz?

It's already been fucked with.To counteract the fret buzz, which was a major problem when I first got it.
It's not bowing, or at least, not that I can see, I'm just terrified of touching it, I don't want to snap anything but my action's far too fucking high.
I might take it to Stu, he'll be able to sort it out. Hooray for being the almost daughter in law of a semi pro. I was just wondering if everyone was scared of touching them or if I was being a wuss.

What bass is it? If it's a simple looking bridge it should be quite easy to do by letting down the allenscrews on the string saddlesI would let the daddy in law have a look at it if you're scared about making it worse, especially when it comes to adjusting the neck.
I got electric peacock blue strings on my bass atm (£45 a set!) and they look so sexy for the band relaunch :D Playing a biker festival and at The Horn on Friday 3rd July.

Spector Q4 pro, nothing fancy.www.spectorbass.com/NewFiles/modelhistoryfiles/q4pro.html
hang on, mine's active though. Erm.... Q4 Pro active I guess, then.
Blue strings? You sexy bint, I bet that looks gorgeous. I've fallen prey to the 'never using anything but power slinkies' thing. Mainly because you can get them from our local bloody SHIT music shop.

Nice bass :)Have a look at the bridge anyway, might be able to do it there.
I like a nice high action as I really abuse mine when I play it :) I like the DR Extra Lifes, even though they are well expensive they have that "newly replaced" sound for months and they look sexy and I'm a massive show off ;D

I like it high, but I'm fed up of people going ON AND ON about it.'oooh, isn't your action high? You must not be able to sort that out'
No, I can't, but it's never pigging stopped me playing.
I hide at the back and shake until the gig's over.

Fuck em.If you like it then just say "Eh? it's set up like that because it's how I like it. There is no 'one way' and if you thing there is then you're a sheep and a boring player"

*nods* you're very right.'Oh well I've got this Jazz P, you see. You're not a real bassist unless you've got a jazz P.'
Seriously now, fuck off. Not you, the pillock that told me that. He was in an anorak and singing up to the mike band as well. It's not 1998, for fuck sake.

I think I said something about not needing an expensive bass to make me sound good.I can be a snobby bitch when needed. That's a right lie also, I'm shit at playing but I try!

Mine's a VintageMusic Man copy thing.
'tis rather nice to play when I want to bring the funk! *air slaps*
But I'd rather play guitar. Use guitarists are better than you! Not because we have more strings. Personaly, it was harder getting really good on bass than it was gigably good on guitar. But I just think we have better personalities.

I'm a bassist because both my brothers are 1000x better than me at guitar.and I wasn't allowed a drumkit. Still can play guitar better than most people out there though.
But by & by, Bassist can be the biggest bitches in other bands when gigging :)

Thismucking around with the neck is a load more risky than fiddling with the bridge.
If I'm in Hertforshire on 3rd July I will come to the Horn, assuming you mean St. Albans.

I'm sort of... PansexualI'm attracted to people who are attracted to me.
So, yes, I'm sort of "attentionsexual". That's me in a nutshell.
