Hi, :) I have a question. I have a Fender P-bass (Mex) and I noticed something while playing. When you get up to the 15h fret on the D&G string, it does not play at all, like a "Pa" sound. I was wondering how I could sort this out :) Thanks!

Sounds like either the neck needs adjusting or there is a fret issue.

Thanks for answering. It plays ok when you play the 19th frets. but its strange. As the strings go down (E,A,D,G) It seems to play less frets high up.
How would I know if it is either of these issues?
