    I must admit I am not equally crazy about all the music David Tibet have created either, but I do have great respect for it all, and I truly love some of it. Have you tried listening to these Current 93 tracks? : All The Pretty Little Horses (the version with Nick Cave on guest vocals) Bright Dead Star The Seahorse Rears to Oblivion (Demo 3 version) A Gothic Love Song In the Heart of the Wood and What I Found There Black Ships Ate the Sky (the song, not the album) Which are all very different tracks, but some of my absolute favorite Current 93 tracks, in no particular order, though "Bright Dead Star" and "The Seahorse Rears to Oblivion" are some of my all time favorite tracks, not only by Current 93 but overall of all the music I listen to, and getting a little tired of "All The Pretty Little Horses", which might be the most accessible and popular Current 93 track.

    This Danny Elfman/Tim Burton cover from the Spanish band Broken Peach :

    I've watched a couple of his videos, and in one of them you can see some form of condenser microphone just peak up in the bottom left picture of the video, as in set up in front of him towards his right side, just out of reach of the camera in this particular video. But yes, he does some quite amazing covers, and some quite decent originals too, more or less in the same style. This is my favorite though, because it is also much better, in my opinion at least, than the original song.

    I've pondered on investing in the Hotone Ampero or Amepro One multi effect, but if this is reasonable price this might be a new consideration. Sounds promising at least.

    Induction. The fact that movement of a magnetic field will create a respective electrical current, and the other way around for that matter. Very basically.

    I wouldn't know for certain, since I don't own the SA, but as I wrote in my comment with something as relatively simple as equalization I would not think that the modeling technology used for respectively the Zoom and the SA would really make much of a difference to the end result between the two units, and if that assumption is actually true then it would all be down to the AD/DA converter of the respective units, and with the Zoom unit's AD/DA running at 24bit, 44,1kHz audio resolution I very much doubt you would be able to hear the difference, even if the AD/DA converter of the SA should run at even higher resolution. Though this is all more or less qualified speculations, but non the less just speculations.

    From the first and only Manowar album I can still listen to without reservations and unironically actually think is even a really good album :

    Well, obviously I think it looks better with the decal or else I wouldn't have pondered on adding it. But true, it does look good just as it is from stock too, in fact the best looking 6'er that Thomann had at any price, in my opinion. All the others either where hippy sandwich style or looking like some coke OD flashback to the 80's, which for some odd reason seems like a very common thing for 6 string bass design.

    An update : So after the bass haven been stuck at the same stage of the shipping procedure for 3 days straight it finally moved on to the next step and an estimated delivery day finally is displayed as well. So if I can trust that estimate and it doesn't get delayed further, the bass should finally be in my possession by Tuesday the 22nd next week, but I kind of fear, due to the general Christmas work pressure on the mail service coupled with the current shut down Corona situation, that it will be delayed even further, and that I won't have it before after Christmas. Damn, this wait is so frustrating. At least I hope the delayed delivery will mean that by the time the bass finally arrives I will also have received the strings I ordered for it, since they were ordered from a different shop (as Thomann doesn't sell the individual strings of the right gauges that I need for the planed tuning) and haven't arrived yet either (no tracking service on that shipment).

    Welcome to the club, I always feel like I am missing an arm and a hand when soldering.

    That video explains nothing though. Already watched it once, when I tried to search for a solution. But I did find a post on the Talk Bass forum that seems to be of some use. Seems though that without using feeler gauges there will be no fool proof way to ensure that I will get the adjustment just right to prevent the risk of the neck possible developing a twist/warp over time. Seems this is as close as I can get to a proper instruction, but as said close to worthless without me having the right feeler gauges, plus the guy who wrote this reply doesn't even seem totally certain that this would be the perfectly correct way to do it : https://www.talkbass.com/threads/dual-truss-rod-adjustment-tips.519035/#post-7016950

    Well, sure someone on this forum must have experience with adjusting double truss rod necks and be able to help me. Aren't that partially what this forum is for?

    @PaulThePlug Just read up on some more reviews on the bass while I am waiting for it to arrive, and one of them mentioned that this bass do in fact have 2 truss rods in the neck, so how would I go about adjusting them correctly?
  19. Baloney Balderdash
    Well, I haven't got the bass yet, still on the way with the mail service, so can't really check, and I have not been able to verify or falsify weather or not it got 2 truss rods with a Google search The truss rod cover is wider than usually, practically covering the whole width of the lower part of the headstock towards the nut, unlike the usual 4 and 5 string Ibanez Sound Gear truss rod covers (same headstock, just with 6 instead of 4 tuning keys), though that still might still just be an odd design choice to match the wider neck, even if the cover on the 5 string Sound Gear basses seems to have the same size covers as the 4 strings. Hope you are right though, cause I am really not comfortable with the thought of having to adjust 2 truss rods right and risk the neck developing a twist/warp if I get it wrong.

    Edit!!! : Just read up on some more reviews on the bass while I am waiting for it to arrive, and one of them mentioned that this bass do in fact have 2 truss rods in the neck, so how would I go about adjusting them correctly? So I ordered an Ibanez SR306EB 6 string bass a couple of says ago, and I expect to receive it by the end of this week. However I just realized that the neck might have 2 truss rods build into it (not positively sure if this is the case though), to ensure stability of the wider 6 string neck I assume, and I am already getting anxious about how to adjust them correctly. Knowing factory setups I guess I can't even be sure that the 2 truss rods are actually adjusted equally from factory, so how would I make sure to adjust them right without risking ultimately causing the neck to develop a twist/warp? Of course if someone can confirm that the neck of this bass in fact only got 1 single truss rod in it then I guess I have no need for knowing how to adjust a neck with 2 truss rods anyway.

    Unlike my other basses I don't think I will add any visual mods to this, just keeping the nice stylish minimal matte black, though I do ponder on perhaps adding just one thing, a silver OM sign in a Lotus flower decal as the only thing, making it look something like this : Edit!!! : A fairly radical change in concept, but just found this Jack Skellington (from Tim Buton's animated "The Nightmare Before Christmas" movie) decal, that I think would fit absolutely perfect for this bass, so likely going to order that and transfer it to the bass, like this :

    The shipment of my new strings got delayed, so only just received them today. So here is my old Aria Pro II Laser Electric Classic, thoroughly cleaned, fretboard polished and conditioned, the .095 to .040 D'Addario NYXL string set installed, and action, neck relief, intonation and pickups adjusted properly : Plays and sounds absolutely beautifully.

    I kind of ponder on getting a capo to the 6 string bass I ordered a few days ago and expect to receive with the mail service by the end of this week, an Ibanez SR306EB. I only will need it to fit like up to and including the 5th fret (I could possibly live with it just being up to and including 3rd fret though). This bass got a 54mm nut width and is 83mm wide at 24th fret. Preferably it would be a capo that is easy to clip on and off, and I'd prefer if it's one that I can get through Thomann as well. What options do I have?
