Thread Resurection... Just ordered a set of the Adagio Flats... £13 is the Magic Number for an offer. Not sure whether to try 'em on the PJ GSR200 instead of the rounds... or on the SR600 instead of the Roto Solo Compressions? Cheap way of trying something new...

The 'Natural' is an SR600... The Gio's necks are one piece, as opposed to laminate along the length... but with a scarf jointed headstock... (my GSR20 joins at about the 2nd fret)... rather than wasting a lot of wood... (environmental?) and obviously keeping costs down.

The Wizard Blew His Horn - Hawkwind (...and stop sniggering at the back...)

What year is your SR600? 2 or 3 position Mid Switch? Worth checking the Ibby site spares listing for part number. Some available... https://www.meinlshop.de/en/ibanez/spare-parts/e-basses/equalizer/ibanez-3-band-eq-mk-1-3-bartolini-for-sr-series-3eq1cmk1 Mines July 2010, 2 position...

@neilmurraybass ' assume, perhaps wrongly, that the bassists who are interested in my playing are more likely to look at the tab, with help from the notation, particularly for the rhythms' Bassists who are interested in your playing 'prolly come in various guise and at various levels... The majority i expect are fans of your work, and someone like me, starting out and familiar with the songs after listening to em all these years are simply thankful for you 'time and tab' so we can look to enjoy the songs by starting to get a bit of it right then participating at a greater level... Thanks for the caterpillars!

Take up Drums? 😉

I've eyed the Ibanez Talman control plate, would look great on a rear route P... bit 'Strat Jack'... bit Tele 51 P... Single hole for concentric Vol and Tone... Plain 'n Simples...

Idealy you'd pick a Lefty-South-Paw... Macca?... bit of a 'Goal Hanger' and always on about how good Liverpool was! Lemmy could help out with any half time refreshments needs to pep up the team for the second half...

Can i through the Cort / Ibanez medium of Luthite in to the conversation... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luthite https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/Luthite along with the thinking behind its use as a wood replacement.

Don't wind the strings round the peg by hand... That induces a twist along the length.

Motorcycles - Harley Davidson?

Custom Shop Kerching... https://www.guitarworld.com/amp/news/fender-unveils-stunning-2021-custom-shop-prestige-collection-featuring-guitars-with-no-boundaries Couple of Ps in their, but generaly what were they thinking, why would you? and people with a lot of time on their hands....

@RussFM might be able to answer ya Q's... and help ya out with a B3...

Is the MM pickup smaller in hight than a J pickup? Can't a J pickup hole be open up? 293906211413 'Bay...

Check of you have both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) settings... MC is usually a Higher Quality, but a lot less output. If you have MM plugged in but set to MC (A Slide or In/Out switch)...may explain the low vol output.. Phono is gonna be a a fair bit lower than CD, or Tape for that matter. line is uaualy for something like Video or Radio IN in old money...

Sure some one with a P can do some ruler layup pics from the 12th... to give you a better idea. Couple of pics of my Ibby GSR200 with BBOT style bridge... may help Nut to 12th... 12th to Bridge...

? Closest adjustment position? Maybe 1/4 v 3/4 or 1/3 v 2/3... Cosmetic apperance may come in to it a little. Fore and Aft. between pickup and end of body, aligning with a control knob etc. Earth wire hole may help in comparing pics n plans of the web with bodys with bridge pilot holes

Perhaps a threaded insert kinda thing needed?

Take some pics and contact the seller (or manufacturer web site) just in case they are not as should be... Sounds strange they are not uniform the whole length? although some stings only have the core going over the bridge, with the main wind starting after - forget the technical name for it... If Duff... maybe a return and swap for the Rotosound? Bass strings aint cheap....

Pics? Does the pickguard help reduce the appearance and cover some of the gap? Edit: Looking back... It's Rear Routed.... 'Thin Strip of Vaneer' or 'Smear of Silicon Sealant' size gap?
