i just traded my oscar schmidt for a peavey millenium 5 string.

it's in great shape but the paint job is kinda tacky. I'll post pics in abit.



Now what i want to know is if these strings i bought in a rush are any good.

Ernie Ball power slinky roundwound custom gauge. 50-70-85-105-135.

are these strings worth a hoot or what? ill be playing heavy stuff.

these strings are great.. nice and thick

this bass is nothing special but damn it is nice to have 5 strings instead of downtuning a 4 string


pics suck.. oh well

this bass is a string through body

i always used to think ernie balls were complete shit because they never lasted long on my guitar, it's been a long time since i bought them though so they might of stepped up their game.

Their bass strings are pretty decent. The guitar strings DO seem to wear out kind of fast but I used to boil the bass strings when they deadened.

Now I just use Elixirs because they sound good from start to finish.

Im happy with them. Wasn't happy they cost me 35 bucks though.

goddamn i always spend hours trying to minimize fretbuzz on a bass.


The truss rod on this thing is close to the bridge and it is always exposed. It is much better then the original one in the neck.

think i got it in its sweet spot.

I've been using Ken Smith strings on my bass.. they ar ehands down the best feeling and sounding strings I ever used.. good life on them too

guys in order to have a bass downtuned to a 1/2 step down is it normal to have the action set really high to keep fret buzz away from the first 3 frets?


or am i doing something wrong?

and yes i have adjusted the neck so the neck is straight.

I have mine down a full step, and the only thing I had to do was adjust the neck a little.. no heighth adjustment at all.. what kind of bass are you using?

peavey millenium. Pretty much an entry level bass, also probably the reason i cant get rid of the fretbuzz.
