Setup/maintenance Guide

[EADG]

I remember having a thread for routine bass maintenance but I can't find it in the archives


I was thinking we should all compile an article for both routine maintenance and setup since they go hand in hand (and are often done at the same time)

I wouldn't mind contributing

eh?

This is the site I always refer to for setting up basses.

Sounds like a great idea. I always get confused when setting up my basses.

Does maintenance also refer to cleaning?

[One Groovin Clown]

I'd assume so.

I was pretty sure there was too but then I clicked that link and that is actually what I was thinking of...

Yeah, I was referring mostly to cleaning


The Gary Willis site is a great resource but some of it is not really applicable to most players (like the ramp section - few people use them. also the electronics section is only applicable to people who own his sig. bass or a similar model).

This one is decent.
