Demo from basstheworld here... https://youtu.be/14txFFZ1ei0

upon closer inspection of the video, it actually looks like he is filling the zero fret. the file never quite gets to the bottom of the slot in the nut...

because the string is always in contact with the zero fret, it cannot be made from nickel alloy like frets are, as its too soft. it's usually stainless steel as far as i'm aware. because of this, it cannot be leveled with the other frets so the best option is to leave it high and then file a slot as you would in the nut. This is my understanding, im happy to be corrected.

Thanks, but that raises more questions than it answers.... firstly, he appears to be filing the nut there and then checking string height above the fret.... but the zero fret defines the string height at the nut? second.... checking the height at 1st fret with a string that's NOT under tension?

i wasn't aware that a plek machine could machine a nut? which is effectively what a zero fret is.... all the videos i've seen have always left the nut ajustments up to the operator

Both mine had grooves in the zero fret where they are filed to set the string height.

It will not

firmware yes.... editor no. although the editor has been updated.... i dont beleive its the final version that @Quatschmacher is developing patches for. Q can you confirm?

.... and it is good. tracking is definitely improved on my setup

Love the blue, but the blonde block inlays look a bit like rotten teeth

Good year that 1986!

oh no... that ones got the shite pickups in! ** seriously tho that's stunning**

Say wht you want about relicing but this is the nuts....

Right....back to business check out this beaut!!!!....

I urge you to re- read the title of this thread.

i'd just like to say that both my Sandys have had delanos, and they certainly haven't been left wanting in the tone department. Horses for courses.

maybe soft touch. definitely not normal types tho... this is all future development. first things first

Yes. It will be able to control anything that "turns". Eventually may be able to flick switches aswell, but that's not in the scope for the prototype.

Musik Productive is cheaper. LOADS of sock too.... https://m.musik-produktiv.com/gb/sandberg-california-vm5-rw-nat.html

I already have thaught about this alot. And Im pretty sure I have a solution too. I'd be interested to hear your ideas tho.... They might be easier than mine

Thanks. I will shoot you a pm tomorrow with some qs. I'm personally concerned with the mechanical design aspect of it at the moment. How it will be used will be electronic and software development that will come a bit later. I'm thinking it will work a bit like the SA neuro hub. Set the dials then hold a button to save a set of values on the midi chanel that was last selected. But first the mechanics have to work.
