SChecter c1 plus tuning problems

Have you put strings through tuning heads and folded them back on themselves and tightened them up to standard tuning?

Tell her to tune all strings below the pitch and always go up to the pitch, never down because of slack in the tuning keys. The gears will have a slight bit of play in them. If coming down and stopping at the right place, they will loosen and loose tuning when she lets go. Tuning from below and go up to the pitch will correct that. (more noticeable on electric) Also, I would take it to a shop to have the intonation checked and tuned if necessary.

On back side of bass there a small plate with 2 or 4 screws, remove it to discover 9v battery(s), replace battery and replace battery cover.

This may be strictly magnetic pickup from nearby sources of transformers, ballasts or other motors that generate these magnetic fields. Humbucker pickups have hum cancelling windings that PARTIALLY remove the hum. Wires from pickups to other components should be twisted to help cancel the problem.

I am not familiar with your model of guitar, but I assume it has a tremelo system. Usually when a string breaks at the nut like that, it's because the metal piece that locks the string is not smooth, has a burr on it. It could also be that the lock is holding just well enough that when you bend a string it is slipping some but doesn't go back all the way. Try just totally unlocking it and playing a bit to see what happens. The friction may be wearing on the string where it contacts the lock. I am assuming it is breaking near the nut/lock area, is that right? Or is it breaking at the bridge end?

The Schecter C1 Fr Hellraiser comes with EMG active pickups I believe, did you try replacing the battery? Also unscrew the ends of your 1/4 inch instrument cable and make sure they are soldered properly. I am assuming you are going straight to your amp, not through any pedals?

Ninety percent of what you want depends on the amp and speaker you are using.

You likely will want a 15 inch speaker in a bass cabinet to start with and a decent midrange driver as well.

No amount of EQ will fix an audio system that just can't put out the bass tones.

Hi,

Yes, you can install a Floyd Rose later, but it will cost you more to buy one later and install than if you were to purchase the Schecter with it already installed. A Floyd Rose bridge with trem can cost between $40.00 for a used one, to $80.00, or even higher, depending on the features you want. If you need it installed for you, you are looking at another $50.00 to $100.00 potentially.

If you are unable to purchase the one without the Floyd Rose bridge because the cost is a bit out of your reach, don't worry. Schecter C-1 guitars are well made and sound very nice, and you would still have a really nice guitar. I have owned two Schecters , and still kick myself for having sold them to "upgrade" to a Gibson Les Paul Standard. Just because it reads Gibson on the headstock, doesn't necessarily mean it's a better guitar. To prove that, check out reviews on Harmony Central sometime (www.harmony-central.com) and see how many people are displeased with their Gibsons, and how many are pleased with their Schecters.

But you don't have to worry about installation of a FL bridge later, as they fit exactly where the standard bridge and stop tailpiece are fitted.

I hope this helps.

I hope you dident screw it up, a person can realy mess up the platability in a hurry if you dont know what your doing. Lets see if we can get you on a good track .What your looking at is your tali pice. that whitch holds 6 saddels the saddels have horizontal screws. Hex you need a very little alan wrench. they normaly come with a new Ax.string heights are 2.00 at the 5.th and 1.5 on the 1first. use a line of sight to see that strings are in a good line. Never Never screw the vertacal screws with springs. Thisis your intonation. if you mess this up you lose the playabilithy of you gtr. ps Guitars dont come with manuals. check with your local music stoer. find a musician thats will ing to give some hands on tips.
