Bass repair and setup

Bass setups need clean action, proper relief, stable intonation and electronics that do not cut out when the gig starts.

Bass setups from $70

What this service is for

Bass service can include neck relief, bridge adjustment, intonation, electronics cleaning, pickup/wiring work, fret evaluation and hardware troubleshooting.

Common bass problems

  • High action or neck relief that makes the bass fight back
  • Buzzing or rattling on the lower frets or higher positions
  • Poor intonation, especially after changing string gauge or tuning
  • Weak output, noisy pots or intermittent active electronics
  • Loose bridge hardware, worn nut slots or uneven frets

Bass setups need room for the string to move, so the goal is clean feel, stable intonation and the lowest practical action for your attack.

Start here

Send the make/model, the symptoms, your string gauge and tuning, and what you want the guitar to do better.
