Difficult to tell when you can't see if the neck joint has 23 screws in it.

No, second harmonic is correct. Third harmonic is three times the frequency, fifth harmonic is five times, etc.

Possibly you're missing the fact that other people may have different opinions to you. Sorry if this shatters any illusions you may have had.

I'm on Facebook and I haven't got a clue who did them. MDP?

I've only got B3, B3n, and various MS pedals, and the B1 Four isn't quite like them in control terms - the B3s have more knobs and the MSes have fewer. With the ones I have, for each position in the chain, you can select a category and scroll through the effects in that, or just scroll through all the effects (I think with the B3 you can only scroll through all the effects).

No, I didn't. But I didn't want to make an assumption.

If you can run a Windows emulator, there's the Tonelib one (see above). Zoom themselves do a not very good editor and patch librarian which does have a Mac version: https://zoomcorp.com/en/gb/software-product-page/software-sub-cat/guitar-lab/

Couldn't they have done something a bit more interesting than using the same tired old shapes? Boring basses made with slightly interesting wood.

If you have a Windows PC then get Tonelib-Zoom and use that to do the editing (also great for the Zoom MS series). https://www.tonelib.net/tonelib-zoom.html

Are you sure you haven't got too much relief rather than not enough? I'd expect less than .4 mm between string and fret at the 8th fret. I think you've got the right approach with the adjustment, although I'd say that as a further check you should see what the relief is on both the B and the C strings, and if it's different, adjust one of the truss rods accordingly - so if there's more relief on the C string than the B string, either tighten the truss rod on the C side or loosen the one on the B side. Note: I've only adjusted a dual truss rod bass once - it did all work out fine, but I'm not an absolute authority on it.

From the pictures, there does seem to be a bit of a hump around the 8th or 9th fret, but I wouldn't swear to it.

I assume then that I misinterpreted your comment above it as being an agreement with the prominent MeTooers, rather than an ironic comment on their comments.

And then saying pretty much the opposite.

I just asked Mrs Zero whether "An unwelcome touch of knee is just as bad as being bruttally raped". Her response was "WHAAAT??". Being raped is a far more traumatic experience than having an unwelcome touch on the knee. AFAIK, nobody has killed themselves because their knee has been touched. I'm not minimising the unwelcome touch of knee, but you're seriously minimising rape.

I'm not that fond of Madonna, although I do like this song. Guy Pratt with an octaver and channelling Pino. And him talking about it (other interesting stuff comes first but if you just want to hear about Like A Prayer, head to 8:05).

I contacted them through the contact page to ask about pxing a Corvette for the Pedulla, Will responded and we emailed each other a couple of times about the Corvette and to arrange a visit. That's been my only contact with them so I can only say that they've responded to my emails either the same or the next day.

I went to see Gary Glitter a couple of times when he was coming back from obscurity before all the sex stuff came out, and I've still got his first LP. I can't retrospectively not enjoy his performances, can I?

Oh, and I got quite a few people saying how nice it sounded this evening after my session with Mrs Zero ("Wicked Game" and "Let's Dance" as you've never heard them before) and backing someone else for a couple of songs. Put through a Zoom MS-60B with compressor, chorus, reverb, and SVT amp sim. Just want to get the relief sorted so the action will come down a little more.

I just get the individual ones in packs of 20 or so. Seeing as they fasten to the lead, I can't see the problem with using them. I find them less fiddly than the ones which stick out each side of the lead.

Excellent, thanks.

I've had the same thing as @Newfoundfreedom - feeling that I'm observing and giving instructions from inside myself, and also being aware of this, and wondering if I can get back to "normal". It didn't impair me the few times it's happened (which always seem to be when I'm driving) which was something I worried about when it did happen.

I blame @TheGreek, he keeps mentioning basses in the Ebay - weird and wonderful section and I keep buying them. This Pedulla Series 2 was at Bass Bros, 40 miles from me, so I went down there and had a play, and then went home with it. This is a non-Buzz fretless - bolt-on neck, Bartolini pickups, natural finish (which appears to be rare for the Series 2), birdseye maple fingerboard that someone has put little marks at the edge of with a bluntie (like a sharpie but not as precise) between the official fret markers. Not terribly visible, I may see if a spot of IPA [1] will remove them. Controls are volume-blend-tone, and it is active - I think the active aspect is more for a buffer than for tone controlling as the tone control seems to be treble cut and boost. The neck is nice and shallow, the way I like them. I have encountered one minor annoyance. There's a little more relief in the neck than I'd like, so off with the truss rod cover and - WTF? Instead of the hex head I was expecting to accommodate one of my vast selection of Allen keys, it's a square head like a harp or piano tuning peg or a central heating radiator bleed screw. Not having anything to fit, I'm chancing my arm on https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314738850431. At least in trying to find out about this, I have also discovered that the truss rod is reversed (something I'm well used to, with old Warwicks and Seis) and very enthusiastic, so a little adjustment goes a long way. I shall doubtless find all this out in the fullness of time. I've put Schaller strap buttons on it, as is my wont. An inspection of the battery showed it was dated 2016, so it came out and a new one went in. The pickups were adjusted a bit oddly - the treble side on the bridge pickup was rather low and the neck pickup was very low. I had to ease the neck pickup out to adjust it as the "springs" are rubber doughnuts and a bit of one had slipped up between pickup and the rear of the recess, jamming it in place. I assume that this is pickup mounting tubing like https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174301475762 so that's something else to get. The height adjustment screws on the bridge are a bit rusty, as are a couple of the rear panel screws, so I may replace those, but that's not a priority. Mrs Zero and I are going to do an open mic tonight with just bass and vocals, and I'm taking this along. Should be fun. [1] Not India Pale Ale

I contacted the seller about the duff LED at the 24th fret and he's sending me a new neck. That's what I call good service (as long as it turns up!).

I'm going to start billing @TheGreek - it's a jolly nice bass, nicer than the Corvette fretless that I pxed for it. It was at Bass Bros, about 40 miles away from me so a nice little trip out.

They're the same Zoom devices as are shown in Youtube videos responding to MIDI commands, set up the same way. See the video up above showing an MS-70CDR being used - I've tried an MS-70CDR and an MS-60B. I've also tried the other part of the MS-1, the twin DIN plugs, in a Roland XV-2020 - the light flashed showing that MIDI data had been transmitted but nothing happened (although I may have the XV-2020 set up wrong).
