<p>Customer wanted action lowered on a Martin D-35. Guitar had plenty of saddle to adjust. I checked the relief was between .010 and .016. Nut is in good shape. The action before was approximately 3mm on bass, 2mm on treble at 12th fret, but customer wanted a little lower. After lowering to 2.7mm on bass and 1.5 on treble, guitar played very well except A string at 5th and 7th fret. I checked frets for level and found they were good, so I just did a light dressing to make sure. At this…</p>

After lowering to 2.7mm on bass and 1.5 on treble, guitar played very well except A string at 5th and 7th fret. I checked frets for level and found they were good, so I just did a light dressing to make sure. At this point I felt it was too low, so I remade the saddle back to original. I'm still getting a little buzz at the 5th and 7th frets on the A string. I have read everything on your site as far as buzzing and still can't figure it out. Help!</p>
<p>The only thing I feel could be done is to remove frets, relevel fingerboard, and replace with new frets. I feel that neck angle to the bridge is in good shape. I ran a straight edge to the bridge and just about touched the saddle. The measurement at the bridge from top of guitar to low E string is a half inch. I feel maybe the fingerboard is just a little low at A string between 5th and 7th frets. I don't know what else to do.</p> Curbow bass electronics problemtag:fretsnet.ning.com,2009-10-17:2177249:Topic:199942009-10-17T16:13:52.831ZAlexander Lópezhttps://fretsnet.ning.com/profile/AlexanderLopez
Help!! My Cort Curbow bass has developed a strange electronics problem. Its output has weakened so much I have to crank up the amps to their limit. Even a passive Epiphone bass has a hotter output.<br />
<br />
My Curbow has a passive MightyMite humbucker pickup, soap-bar style; and an active circuit that has volume, Bass, Mid, Treble & a "Slap switch" that engages a different EQ setting. I think it's a Bartolini MK1 circuit.<br />
<br />
The instrument's tone is the same, the EQ & slap switch works fine,…

The instrument's tone is the same, the EQ & slap switch works fine, there's no broken wires, the volume pot works fine and the 9-volt battery is new. What do you think it's happening? Thank you!
