GMT800's are getting up there in miles, so instead of trying to rebuild mine or swapping in another, I got wondering if GMT900 rear axles would be an option.
Newbie beginner here, and I really don't have a desire to learn slap techniques other than I've seen videos on how to do it nd I thought it would be fun to play around with on a day that I didn't really wanna practice in a focused way on songs.
No matter how lightly or what angle I hit the E or A string with, all I ever got was a TINK or ringing. That's even with me holding a fret down.
Initially I thought it was maybe the pickup, so I screwed the screws in to lower that, but now I'm pretty sure it is the last fret(?).
Granted, i know I could raise the strings at the bridge, but otherwise the bass seems to play fine. To that end, I really don't want a higher action if it (all notes on the E and A string) is working for me.
Is there a problem in taking that stance? I figure I might as well just keep practicing for a year, and only then adjust the action or take it to a pro luthier if I wanted to practice slap techniques.
