Adam Easy Wishes Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I have a US Fender Jazz bass that has started to have intonation issues on the low frets on the E and A strings.The octave is fine, which would lead me in my incredibly limited knowledge to suggest that it's not a bridge problem but a truss rod problem? Does this sound about right?Regardless, I will need someone to have a look at it - can anyone recommend a reliable person/company? Obviously if it's a truss rod thing I'd like someone experienced who knows what they're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbroken Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 should be easy enough to sort out. I set up all my own instruments, and since its a fender, its super easy. Look on their website, gives you a detailed description on how to do it. Are the strings pretty high off the fretboard requiring more effort to play higher up the neck?

Spoonie Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 How does the neck look, bend-wise when you down it from the bridge to the nut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
