How do you re-string and increase the action on an acoustic bass guitar?
This is kind of a two parter:
A) How do you re-string a acoustic bass guitar? I’ve done it on my electric but obviously it’s different on my acoustic.
B) How do you increase the action on a acoustic bass guitar?
Feel free to use the terminology to be as exact as possible. Also any links to diagrams would be very helpful.
The ends of the strings are held by the pin in the bridge – loosen the old string – then carefully pull out the pin with a pin puller or pliers with the jaws padded. Take off the old string. Put the new string down the hole about 4 inches – put the pin back in and pull up on the string until you feel it catch between the pin and the bridge – the pin might be forced up so just push it back down till you feel the end of the string slide past it and lodge against the bridge. Then attach it to the tuning peg like on an electric, and tighten the string. Watch the peg to see that it doesn’t start to pop up. If it does, loosen the string and start over – it’s a “feel thing” – when it’s seated right the peg won’t pop up.
Action: All you can do without getting a new saddle is loosen the neck tension. Find the truss rod nut and turn it 1/4 turn counterclockwise. (It’s either at the headstock under a cover or at the bottom of the neck in the soundhole) This will allow more “bow” in the neck – raising the action. Usually that’s all you need.
