Adjustments...
Adjusting only the bridge has only effect on the area from about 12th/15th fret to 24 whole of the higher registers. The trussrod does his
work from 1st to 12th fret.. So I play with that until it only buzzes when I play really hard and only in the bass-side (1st to 8th fret) of the instrument not the solo side, I dont believe in any ideal measurements at the 8th or 9th fret like a credit card (Ive seen this been put on forums very often) or any kind of stated margin, strings and personal preference make what works best for anyone personally I guess, so play with it until its exectly fits your taste. Anyway anyone trying to do this themselves make really tiny adjustments and when truning a truss to one side give it a little nodge in the other direction Ive learnt when not doing this just like Ken said the effect desired is then mostly is too much...I didn't know tention of the strings could be left on, I always loosen the the stings up, but nice to know ofcourse... Great Ken wants to share this information about this complicated matter.
Just my few cents...
Ah something I have questions about, and this is something I noticed, just wanted to check if that thing I encountered makes any sence to anyone of you guys... When your low B string sounds less in volume then the other strings giving the neck a little more "bow" resolves this diffenrence by a margin.
Also makes you sound a bit warmer.. anyone encountered the same phenomenon?..
Best regards and have a nice christmas ofcource!
