Fender Precision Bass – Setup

Another stunning new Fender, just needs a tweek here and there to get it playing at its best.

While I was at it I tidied up some of the plastic film left on the pick-guard..

The only way to get it all is to take the knobs off.

On with the setup the neck had just a little too much curve…

The action up at the 12th fret was a little low, causing some fret buzz….

so I raised up the outside strings..

The action at the 1st fret was fine.
