Rattles and adjustments
Hi everyone -
This is my first winter with a carved bass. I've noticed that I needed to adjust the bridge upward to move the strings away from the fingerboard three times already (the third time was this last weekend). I would estimate that the adjusters are extended out about 1- 1.5 cm now. I tried to adjust the bass and treble sides equally, However, the G string seems to need alot more adjustment than the E string. I want to bring the E string back down a bit - is it dangerous, illegal, or amoral to have the bridge adjusted "unevenly"?
ALso, along with this problem, I've developed a rattle. I'm pretty sure it originates from the tailpiece cable (where the cable attaches to the TP). It's very irritating, and especially loud around the low B on the A string.
Thanks for any response,
Stan
