Bass Guitar Setup

Hello, I'm back from busy life... just returned to add missing fun in life.

Last month I was busy checking with my 4 string & 5 string bass guitar. I need to set-up propoerly so that my playing will be better nor ease at fingers. I searched over the net for a guitar tech (Luthier) to set-up my units but need more time to go the their shopSo, i decided to do with myself since i was a maintenance before & have experience in electronics.

I just checked Youtube to get the details for doing this. and found a great reference from Elixir Strings Sir John Carruthers which he shows the proper ways of adjustment from truss rod to intonation. Kindly check the videos as below.









I'd collected all the necessary tools for the repair then watch a couple of times then i've done fixing my guitar. i learned a lot from him.

Thanks & big help for key learnings.

Next is changing pots (potentiometers).

I still need missing boost pots which is difficult to purchase in music/electronic store. Waiting for online order delivery.
