BassChopsforbeginners

This is the stuff that can determine the final cost of your first bass more than anything. Sometimes the new beginner basses have very low quality hardware and construction standards, but some of the top makers produce some really impressive low cost instruments, where the hardware is not too dissimilar to their premium line of guitars. Suffice it to say, you should be familiar with the hardware names and function so that you are in the know, and understand the lingo that will be part of your vocabulary from this moment forward.

Correction is in order here: The terminology was reversed by accident and I inadvertently gave the wrong description when I spoke of issues regarding bowing, which is a concave bend that makes the strings too high. Bowing also makes it impossible to establish intonation and proper tuning. The opposite of bowing is a convex "hump"in the neck that renders the instrument unplayable, period. Some bolted necks can be perfectly straight, but still have high action distances, even with a properly adjusted bridge. The remedy in most cases is to shim the bolt-on neck so that the neck is on as much of an even plane as the nut is.
