Hello all!
I'm new here and new to the Warmoth custom instruments family!
Just received the parts for my new Jazz Bass. I assembled the whole thing.... the only parts for which I broke a sweat were the Tremolo's anchors and the tuner's ferrules.
Mostly easy lo assemble and pretty common sense. My bass is basically all Black Hardware, Black with matching headstock Jazz type bass. Walnut Body, Indian Rosewood fretboard with Birdseye Maple neck.
Now with the question, hopefully you all would be able to shed to light here.
I'm good at setting up anything in my basses but the neck... more because I don't quite understand all concepts behind it. But I want to understand how this works because it has happened in a previous bass I had.
I've been checking and the neck seems to be straight, the relief seems within the acceptable range. If I play I don't hear any ringing. Now, when I bend strings D, G around frets 12 and above I reach a point on which the string mutes itself, so It seems there is something to be done either to the neck and /or bridge settings. In this case I have a HipShot Tremolo.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
