You could consider using what Ibanez themselves supply it with. https://www.ibanez.com/usa/products/detail/btb805ms_1p_01.html strings D'Addario® NYXL45130 for 37" string gauge .045/.055/.080/.100MS/.130MS

Do you mean a double-action truss rod, or dual truss rods (ie. two truss rods side by side)?

The manual for the Pedulla 6 fretless that I've just bought says to use nickel strings as stainless are (quote) "too harsh for the fingerboard and will sound terrible". It's not easy finding 6-string nickel roundwound sets with 30-40-60-80-100-125 or 130, but there's a Warwick Red Label set which are perfect, and not in stock at Thomann, but I've ordered them anyway, and a 5-string set or two as well. More news as it comes in.

I was really annoyed when the guitarist/singer/songwriter in a previous band decided that he wanted to take a song up a semitone from C. Playing the notes is easy enough but writing out the chord chart was a right pain. Should one be a stickler and only use sharps (and use E# for F and B# for C) or use flats for some which you don't often encounter sharps (eg. Bb rather than A#)? I think I just adopted the system of learning the bloody song.

Headless conversion.

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.
