Anyone knows what bass Martin uses?

[RoyII]

I know he uses a laney amp and one of his basses is a Marcus Miller signature, but he has another fender and perhaps he uses others for studio, anyone knows?

I got a new bass today. It was a cheap Silvertone.... I don't know how to tune it and I think the strings might be too high cause they're like this far [---] from the neck.... Is that normal? And how do I tune it?

p.s. Opeth ROCKS!

^ are you kidding? throw it away. not worth the effort to fix the action.

edit: and what do you mean "how do you tune it?" EADG would be a good start but i think youre just shitting with us.

being that far from the neck isnt normal...but u can adjust it i bet

All of them are Fender Jazz basses as far I've seen. Main bass is Marcus Miller signature Jazz.

Dammit I was gonna say that...

One of the first things you do before you start learning to play a bass is to learn to tune...and that's addressed to you specifically, not to the general public...

And how do I tune it?

??? and your sig says that you are currently writing material for an upcoming release. Am I missing something here?

good luck adjusting the action on that thing, playing on a cheap bass is like arm wrestling with it

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

go to a shop and let them explain you how to tune the thing and adjust the neck or the bridge...from you description it's not possible to exactly understand your problem...or post some pics. and get a guitar/bass tuner....they are like 15$ or smth

ok, you see the little flat silver or black things at the headstock?

Those are called 'tuning pegs'

you turn them.

 

[dorian gray]

^keep turning and turning them. dont stop. follow with shotgun blast to the head.

it looks great, sounds ok, and is heavy as fukk.
Martin's gotta be in shape by now, carrying this log of wood around..

I remeber 1 bass was white and another was classic sunburst. Someone can confirm that?
