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 saddles

I 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.

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"

fellow Musicians ar the biggest cunts on the planet.

*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 would have creased up laughing at him as soon as he said that.
Be a cunt back. I am, gotta be in those situations.

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 Vintage
Music 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 :)

This
mucking 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 might be playing on the 3rd of July
if not, then I might drag the lads down to see Gums and his merry band of lesser men.

Indeed I do :)
