  Elevation and setups  Discussion in 'Hardware, Setup & Repair
[BG]' started by Metaldood19, Nov 15, 2012.    1. Hey, hope im
posting this in the right subforum... I'm playing a show this
weekend in Phoenix, Arizona (elevation: 1150 ft). I live in
Flagstaff (elevation 7000 ft). My question is when transporting
my bass (in it's case of course) should I loosen the strings to
prevent neck bowing and intonation issues? I play a 6 string and
am restringing before the show regardless however, the less of a
setup I have to do before the show means more time I have to
dedicate to other pre-show things. Thanks!   2. lowfreq33

Elevation shouldn't be a problem, but temperature and humidity
can affect an instrument a lot. Arizona's hot and dry, so when
going to a colder more humid climate you can expect to have to
make some adjustments.   3. TalkBass Friendly Advertisement
