I recently bought this Harley Benton MB-4 but I've been finding it difficult to develop proper fretting technique. I often find myself squeezing the back of the neck with my thumb to get enough pressure to fret and have been experiencing some pain in my fretting hand because of this. I'm really torn on whether or not I should take it in for a setup as I dont really know what I'm looking at or how to tell if my issues are originating from my own poor technique or a poor setup on the bass....

Does it look like my bass needs a setup?
