Exactly, he never shows it, and tells you at the end of the actually did it before the video started. Not to mention the extremely lame starting "joke".
Probably one of my favourite channels on youtube. There's something about it that just keeps it interesting, and the abundance of guitars/basses sure helps lol (I'm a fellow bass player). Thanks Dave for curing my boredom since I proudly subscribed a while back!
Hi Dave. I mostly play the p-bass but sure love those Stingrays. I am responding to let you know that I actually own a guitar that has never needed a truss rod adjustment and I bet never will. It is a ca. 1963/64 Japanese made Silvertone electric guitar built by Guyatone. Very similar to the old Kent Polaris models from the same period. There are a couple of reasons for this freak of nature. The first is that it doesn't actually have a trust rod. The neck is just a solid piece of mahogany with a rosewood fretboard. The second reason is that when it is strung with .010 to .046 strings (or something close to that) with the correct neck angle and bridge height adjustment, it has perfect relief and plays beautifully. It was originally sold as the equivalent of today's budget imports such as an Epiphone Special II or Squier Affinity series guitar. Found her in a pawnshop many years ago. A kind of poor man's Jaguar or Jazzmaster kind of thing. Two single coil pickups with adjustable pole pieces. Terrific tone. Cost me 50 bucks. My little Pawnshop Princess.
I love the older CBS Fender bullet rod for ease of adjustment. It's one of the only really smart changes CBS made to the guitar, IMO. But the spoke wheel adjustment is really growing on me and I think it's about the best method invented thus far for truss rod adjustment. By the way, a Canadian friend informed me once that your "four seasons" work out the be Winter, Winter, Summer and Winter. xD
I'm struggling with the point of this video, to be honest. In a video called "MusicMan Sting Ray Bass Truss Rod Adjustment" I had expected to see er... a MusicMan Sting Ray Bass truss rod adjustment. - in other words somebody perform a truss rod adjustment on a MusicMan Stingray bass. All I see is a guy saying he performed one and showing me a guitar! Am I missing something here?
Dave, before I saw your video I just knew you were going to say "Earnie Ball-Sack" again! We can all thank Leo Fender for designing the StingRay bass after dumping Fender Musical Instruments to the Corporation. No other bass or guitar has a neck truss rod adjustment that is easier to do than on this bass or on Music Man guitars as well. When I bought my StingRay new, I did not get the tools to adjust the neck or bridge. Should I contact the company and request my ball sack? G&L is also a great instrument designed by Leo Fender as well. I like to think that after Leo dumped Fender, he got his act together to make the good stuff.
I have a big collection of guitars... and in Ohio USA, we have the 4 seasons too. A few other suggestions for those who live in those kind of environments. 1. Store your guitars somewhere where the temperature and humidity is rather consistent. A well controlled basement is my preference. 2. Don't just forget about a guitar in storage. Pop the case open every few months and have a look. 3. severe weather changes causing necks to go wacky can crack finishes and even disjoint glued parts like fingerboards... 4. As Dave said, don't just let a problem build and build. If it isn't in adjustment, fix it.
Very sound advice. The nicest bass I've ever owned was a 2000s Pedulla MVP 5 string. Awesome bass and the best tone I've ever heard, but the necks are so temperamental. I had to adjust it up to a dozen times a year!
I live in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia, in a city on the Ohio River. My music room is kept at room temperature (66-68 in winter, 70-72 in summer) and 45% humidity at all times. I hardly ever have to adjust any of my stringed instruments (my drum kit? Same story, different ending), even if I take them out and play outdoors or drive a long way with them. I think consistency, along keeping them right, makes them a bit more resilient against the odd temperature/humidity change now and again. My Ernie Ball Music Man basses and Sterling by Music Man guitars are the ones that usually go anywhere, though, precisely because of their peerless factory construction and that truss rod adjustment.
You're so right about the weather and the four seasons. I live about 3 hours to the west of Toronto down by Lake Erie and each day brings something new when it comes to instruments changing. Maybe one day we will gain knowledge from the aliens about a new material that is impervious to temperature, weather, light and has the weight of a feather and the strength to support a trillion tons of force.
Our band tunes down 1/2 step so I tend to have to release a bit of tension so my bass doesn't fret out while I'm tuned down, but need to check it a few times a year. usually a 1/8 or 1/4 turn is all that's needed.
Back in 1993 I bought a brand new Gibson Les Paul studio. Last year I adjusted the neck for the first time and I only had to turn the truss rod nut by a 1/3 turn. Not bad for 28 years. Spend the extra and by quality.
Hey Dave. Brand shiny new MM Sterling CA5. Action is too lowand has some fret buzz on open and lower neck fretting.Before I set intonation, question. Should I attempt to raise the bridge saddles to correct or use the truss rod to raise action(only toward the nut end of the neck) ? Fret buzz only occurs on open string pluck and lower register plucking. I don't wantan extreme bow in the middle of the neck. Thanks in advancefor your experienced ballsackness advice.
I love the natural finish on that bass. I check the neck relief on my guitars often but they rarely need much adjustment other than when I first got them.
+Dale Palmer I have the Walnut Satin finish on my S.U.B version which is beautiful. Music Man basses just don't look right to me with out some sort of natural finish on them. They are just beautiful like that.
My experience hasn't been to 'adjust it frequently' I've rarely had to do it more than once across many brands and models. That said I just got my first Stingray which has a severe backbow out of the box (and why I'm here), maybe it's a Stingray thing
You don't get a lot of those because Ernie Ball Music Man makes the finest mass produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the world. They're solid as rocks, set up perfectly right from the factory, and almost never fail electronically if used remotely normally. Ask anyone who owns one (more likely, several).
hey Dave how are you? so glad you're posting videos much more frequently now! keep up the great work. from your friend from Long Island New York... Boring
Digging that natural finish on the StringRay. I've got an HH Stingray that I love, wish it wasn't active, goes through more batteries than the playboy mansion.
Fucking Dave!!! LMAO!! I saw the title of the video,and immediately said in my head "Ernie Ballsack"... I KNEW you were gonna say it,ya can't help yourself! Then when you did say it,I started laughing,then you lost it over the fact ya can't help but say it! CLASSIC!!! Keep up the good work Dave!
Dave is it just me or is the low e on basses often a pain in the ass to intonate? seems like I have to always move saddle.way back compared to the others...is this common?
You are not just-seeing-things. I have the same issue, but even more so on the 5th string (low-B.) Last December, I had to move this Ibanez's bridge about 3/16-inch away from the neck... to get more adjustment room.
i have a Jackson 5 string concert bass, I've owned it nearly 2 years and the neck has never bowed in either direction and has never needed a truss rod adjustment since I bought it, guess I'm a lucky one
Every guitar should have the wheel... I used to have a cheap peavey milestone bass that had one like this so I know it’s not a cost issue. Why hasn’t this caught on?
Always something new in your vids. Well here in Canada you are right on that. A climate enviroment using a dehumidifier and a humidifer in the room where the instruments are makes a difference?......Alos i find the best place to have them is in the case?.....CHEERS!
Dave , I really hope sometime someone sends you a sterling by music man Sub Ray 4 bass... its the cheapest musicman style bass you can get that isnt counterfeit. Its literally like the below squire version of ernie ball... ernie ball goes.. EB USA , then Sterling, then sterling by music man.. Its actually a pretty decent bass though. Mine could use a setup and I just dont know how to do it. I can adjust a truss rod and have on my bass.. but Id love to get the intonation etc. right. Cheers bro. P.S.- If anyone cant afford a good fender jazz bass and wants a good alternative.. check out the peavey milleniuim bxp basses. I have a 2003-2004 model that I love.
Once you put on new strings, set the truss rod and adjust string height at the bridge, use a good accurate tuner and tune each string using the 12th fret harmonic. Then check the fretted note at the 12th fret. If it is flat, adjust that string's saddle to move toward the neck, shortening it's length and that will pull it up into tune. Check often as you adjust! If it is flat, adjust it at the bridge in the opposite direction. Repeat for each string and you're done!
I like watching your videos Dave. But, I was disappointed with this one. My Ibanez bass 'appears' to have too much curve in the neck (bolt-on.) I was hoping to see your tips/method for determining if truss-rod adjustment is needed: we didn't get that. Your "talking tips" are helpful. Thank you for that. I'll keep looking through your videos; I know you've given the tips/info somewhere.
I have a 30 year old prototype Ibanez/Modulus Graphite bass that never needs a truss rod adjustment. Doesn't even have a truss rod. Still plays good other than it needs a fret dressing in the worst way after all these years.
Have you ever heard of vigier guitars? They make electric guitars that don't have truss rods, because their necks don't move... I can't remember what they make them out of to do that though
Hey Dave. That looks like a nice bass. How's the play ability? I'm thinking of getting a new ax but I've only really played one for any extended period (Grabber). Just looking for something different...
+Rico Swave Most are on the heavy side, but great sounding basses. I used to own a 5 string, but missed the neck pickup and didn't want to deal with the weight.
+Dave's World of Fun Stuff Here's another Canadian bassist, holding the whole show together: St. Paul and the Broken Bones - 'Call Me'. Saw them at Lee's Palace last year. They were so awesome they drove the pee-smell out into the street. ruclips.net/video/z7s9A3s8iv8/видео.html
Just the opposite. If it’s too loose the strings will pull the neck forward and the action (space between strings and fret board) will be higher, but if you tighten it too much then you’ll get fret buzz. That’s why you need to check it especially if you live in an area where the weather changes with the seasons.
How is it that I'm having to resubscribe to you? RUclips must be shadow banning you. This is the 2nd time I've had to do it, and when I looked for your channel it was a hard look. It took me awhile.
dave, have you ever taken a look at a peavy t-40? im looking at one right now guys asking 400 bucks thing looks like its built like a tank whataya think?
Been playing bass for about 2 years new, Finally looking to upgrade, but can't afford to spend more than about $500, would you recommend MusicMans S.U.B basses? Really been eyeballing the S.U.B Ray4.
+Matt Marshall Subs sound great for the money, but Bailey Woodroffe has a good point, much more versatile with the jazz. I have the P Bass special Vintage Modified and love it for it's authentic P Bass tone and being able to use the jazz bridge pickup for jazz bass and other tones.
Great......”I’ve already done this one, and it plays great.......” yippee do .........now, would you like to SHOW us you doing it? No? Oh well, on to someone who actually gives us some help 😕
Sorry, Gooch City. The new guy looks like a right fucking jerk anyway! Joking aside, all their songs sounded the same to me. Keep up your great videos, I really enjoy them. p.s. In one of you videos I wonder if you could show how your Paterson (?) guitar tuner works? I'd love one but they are the equivalent of about USD 800.00 here in Europe. Cheers mate.
+Dave's World of Fun Stuff those graphite necks are always straight, they dont bend like at all so theres no need to set the neck relief i think. i never owned one but thats what ive heard of them. mark king uses a status graphite bass and i think they use always graphite necks.
Lmao here i am, ray on my lap, watching this vid... this is hilarious. Now i'm off looking for a vid where they show how to adjust it lol
Exactly, he never shows it, and tells you at the end of the actually did it before the video started. Not to mention the extremely lame starting "joke".
Now that I'm working in LA, I only have two seasons - but even when I was living in Detroit, my Stingray was rock solid. Great instrument.
Probably one of my favourite channels on youtube. There's something about it that just keeps it interesting, and the abundance of guitars/basses sure helps lol (I'm a fellow bass player). Thanks Dave for curing my boredom since I proudly subscribed a while back!
I have a 1991 Ibanez rg550 deluxe and I just gave it its first truss rod adjustment recently. Not bad since I played that guitar daily for 25 years.
+Damon Butts You must live in a pretty steady climate.
You never talked about which direction to turn to truss rod to increase or decrease neck relief. I think that's pretty critical.
yes, waste of time video. blah, blah, blah.
i think he did tbf. at 2:13 he says "turn right is tight, left is loose". Im guessing tight is increase relief, loose is decrease.
Yeah literally a waste of time watching this

My 64 P-Bass never had a truss rod ajustment while I owned it Its been 22 years now AND I live in Montreal Plays perfect
best bass in my opinion
I never get tired of hearing 'Ernie Ball Sack' lol.
There ain't nobody I'd rather watch adjust a truss rod for 5 minutes. Hope you're well Dave.
glad you like the Ernie Ball,sack lol they're made in my home town. keep the vids coming, very informative
0:10 "Brought to you by Ernie BALLSACK"!!! I love that too Dave. You're not the only one.

It was a complete waste of time

Boy I wish my Stingray's neck would stay solid. It's by far the most temperature sensitive bass I own.
That's so crazy that different instruments can be so different and fickle. My Stingray 5 never moves, but my G&L JB 5 is a different story.
Reverend179 same
nice to see you back Dave
Didn’t bother to say which direction does what. Tighten or loosen?
Great vid mate cheers.
Thanks for the visit

That's how trust rods work... fuck'in aye!
This was really helpful. Thanks!!!!
I have a bass with dual truss rods that needs an adjustment but it scares the hell out me. I need to find a Dave locally to deal with that one.
... Well, Ok, I guess I will do that and just carefully keep track to make sure I'm adjusting them the same. Thanks
How much would you charge for a 5 string left handed string change and truss rod adjustment?
What do you mean by turning right is tight and left is loose?
Tight is equivalent to high action or low action? A little confusing, please help
Can anyone tell me if the new stingray specials have a 2 way trustrod? Or only release and back to neutral?
Dave have you done a truss rod adjustment on a burns heel gearbox truss rod on 1970s gretsch guitars.
You've got me saying it, Dave...embarrassing when you walk into GC and say "Ernie Ballsack Rock and Roll strings, please...
Any of you folks know what size of the allen key to adjust the truss rod of the R34, and where I can find one? I'd appreciate that very much.
Wait so... how do you actually adjust it. You never told us which way is wich
I always laugh when you say that Ernie Ballsack thing.
I like watching your videos Dave. But, I was disappointed with this one.

Have you ever heard of vigier guitars? They make electric guitars that don't have truss rods, because their necks don't move... I can't remember what they make them out of to do that though

Thanks for the info. Weight is fine for me, but a lack of neck PU not so much. Do any of their models have one?

If the trust rod is too loose does it bow back? And if the truss rod is too tight does it bow forward? Thank you for video!
Just the opposite. If it’s too loose the strings will pull the neck forward and the action (space between strings and fret board) will be higher, but if you tighten it too much then you’ll get fret buzz. That’s why you need to check it especially if you live in an area where the weather changes with the seasons.
@@dennytroy Wow. Five years ago. LOL I learned a lot since then. 😊 Thank you for your reply. 👍🤘🎵🎸
Nice one!!! 👍👍
Would you recommend this bass?
What size is the Alan wrench
Four seasons? How many do you split winter into?
How is it that I'm having to resubscribe to you? RUclips must be shadow banning you. This is the 2nd time I've had to do it, and when I looked for your channel it was a hard look. It took me awhile.
you tube suk?
Good to know... I may be trading my "Stickin the backer" for one of these
So basically you're saying we're all unlucky. Thanks. I knew that already. :)
Reminds me of this video: Louis Johnson bass lesson 1
Right on Dave!!! Those goofs Luke & The Impossibles lost a bad ass bass player...My opinion, cheers Dave"" 🎸🎼🎸🎼🎸🎼
Well, I guess to be fair, he didn't put "how to" in the title...
Stand by..coming soon!
Ooh pretty
dave, have you ever taken a look at a peavy t-40?
im looking at one right now guys asking 400 bucks
thing looks like its built like a tank
whataya think?
thanks
+Dave's World of Fun Stuff You did one on the T-20 which I imagine is similar. Cheers from Orstralia, love your channel
piglos got it, thanks
Bit rare out here as I'm in Australia, but I know someone with a T-60? guitar who says it is great
Hi Dave, where are you located?
i hope you never have the missfortune of either discovering, or dealing with a bass thats got two truss rods. shits rough:/
I still don’t know how to do it🤔
Been playing bass for about 2 years new, Finally looking to upgrade, but can't afford to spend more than about $500, would you recommend MusicMans S.U.B basses? Really been eyeballing the S.U.B Ray4.

Ernie Ballsack?! Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
Great......”I’ve already done this one, and it plays great.......” yippee do .........now, would you like to SHOW us you doing it? No? Oh well, on to someone who actually gives us some help 😕
How come another guy's playing bass with that Luke band you were with?
Sorry, Gooch City. The new guy looks like a right fucking jerk anyway! Joking aside, all their songs sounded the same to me. Keep up your great videos, I really enjoy them. p.s. In one of you videos I wonder if you could show how your Paterson (?) guitar tuner works? I'd love one but they are the equivalent of about USD 800.00 here in Europe. Cheers mate.
graphite neck bass/guitar. they dont even have a trussrod i believe xP
+Dave's World of Fun Stuff those graphite necks are always straight, they dont bend like at all so theres no need to set the neck relief i think. i never owned one but thats what ive heard of them. mark king uses a status graphite bass and i think they use always graphite necks.

The title of the vid is Musicman Sting RayBass Truss Rod adjustment.Why do these bozos complain, wanting the full setup?
Except you never showed how to adjust it
Thanks for wasting my time. 5 minutes I'll never get back.
Thanks for not showing how to adjust the truss rod.
Funny, no adjustment, and you didn't even say which way you turned it to take out the excessive bow. Love your channel, this video is useless.
Glad you enjoyed it!
