I just recently reintonated my bass, but my E string keeps clacking against the fretboard when I play, if I raise my action will my intonation go bad?
And I don't have the kind of bass where you can play with the screw to change the intonation, I have to play with the string saddles and shit.
Should I adjust the truss rod? I looked at my neck and it's alright, the middle of the fretboard is more bowed than the top of it (at the first fret) but I assume it's supposed to be like that anyway.
I don't want to raise my string too high because I feel it'll be too awkward since my A string is raised rather high itself.
thanks for any input you guys may have
love hektik

it has to do with string tension. My neck isn't warp, I know that much. I don't want to switch to a higher gauge because I think I have the thickest 4 string gauge there is, and I like it, I get a nice balanced tone out of all my strings and my fingers roll off them quite easily

Yeah, my strings can't even touch the pickups. I've just altered my style of playing to be less aggressive on the E string since I tune to DGCF, the notes sound much more balanced now.

I used to get that clacky noise from attacking the string straight on as oposed to getting my finger slightly under the string.When you tune that E down to D I know it gets a little tougher to keep that fucker from buncing right off the fret board
