Thank-you, I had no idea how this worked and you explained it perfectly. I think I'm going to check my Bass now. 🙂

I was surprised he said counter-clockwise vs ante-clockwise. Short sweet and straight to the point.

Thanks Mark, I can sort the string replacement and truss rod etc, but the intonation bit always bothered me, but you just put that in good old “laymans terms”, I’ll be getting stuck into this over the weekend 👍🏻

Thanks Mark. What factors effects the correct string length? String gauge/diameter, height of action? I recently had to move the bridge back on a cheaper bass as I had run out of travel on the adjustment screw. Was that my only option? Looking forward to getting started on the Cyborg Minor Scales book!

Hi Mark! I have huge problems to intonate my bass, in particular the A string. Funny enough, although its "sharp" on the 12 fret, it gets better when I shorten the string with the bridge screws, go figure. I have heard that the main reason for bad intonation are used strings. The reason is that, over time, they do not stretch equally over the fretboard. Is that true?

My strings are too high over the fretboard. I feel I need to tighten the rod a bit to make the fretboard a bit straighter but I never did it and feel unsafe. How risky is messing around with the rod? Any safe recommendations?

I just got a 5-string and my problem is, the action is much higher than I want it to be. So, I tried dropping the strings. When I get them down where I like them, the B string rattles against the fretboard. In order to get it to where the B string doesn't rattle, I have to all the strings uncomfortably high. I haven't even thought about setting the intonation yet. I've never had a 5-string and never set up a bass, so I'm lost. I haven't been able to find any videos that address this situation.

Does the low B not have an individual saddle? If it doesn't, that's rough, check if you have too little relief in the neck (but if the other strings are fine it would suggest that's not an extreme issue) Also if the rattling is _subtle_ it's possible that you can only hear it unplugged and it's fine in an amp, my 5-string is kinda like that. But it's more like "new string rattle" and not "fret buzz proper" so to speak, if the notes are semi-dead there's obviously a problem

@@metallsnubben I'm gonna try it though the amp tomorrow. I was kind of hoping that's how it was and it will be okay through an amp. Thanks a lot for the suggestions.

@@scottbubb2946 I can also say, testing just now if I _play really hard_ there's a ton of rattle on my bass too (on the E-string as well, but I have kinda thin gauge jangly strings on from the previous owner). Even that might be fine with an amp though, but I've definitely unconsciously been playing with a lighter touch on the low B for this and the following reason: You also have the fact that the B being so much floppier makes it more sensitive to "pitch bend from fretting too hard"... and also a bit of "pitch bend from strumming too hard" (like when you hit a string hard and it starts out sharp and then goes down to a stable pitch). I think the only basses that somewhat avoid all this would be like, multiscale Dingwalls though haha

Thanks for the replies. I played it last night through my amp (I didn't have my amp at home) and it was fine. I'm pretty happy with it.
