  Did you notice any difference with the nut or string retainer? How much did you screw down the bar? I don't know what the point of that is on this guitar

• 
  @terrymcgaha35604 күн бұрын

  The brass nut changed the tone quite a bit. Also, after switching the trem block, saddles, and nut, you can really feel and hear the sustain in the guitar now. The string retainer is down just enough to keep consistent pressure across the strings out of the nut for solid sustain. It is angled to compensate for the difference in tension and string diameter.

  @terrymcgaha35609 күн бұрын

  I can do that one day. But the quick rundown is I took a piece of brass and cut it down to close sizes to the original nut. I used round stock since that is what I had available at the time. I used a small knee mill to cut it down, a belt sander to form the radius, measured the string slots and used a nut file set to cut them in. Tools used, but files, belt sander, standard medium file, milling machine. After it was finished I used 400, 800, 1200, then a buffing wheel to polish it. I am a machinist by trade so I have all the fancy tools available to me. The brass nut is within .002” to the original so no separate setup on the guitar was needed when switching them.

  Without watching, this may be near to my question! i am new to bass and, new to the b6 - if my signal goes straight into an audio interface, should i be using a DI and ditching amp and cab pedal selections? it would give me more choice of fx as, i always have tube 2 on! also - do y'all get lost in the menus and the tinkering? anybody going back to single pedals, with good reason?

  As long as I keep up with it regularly, I never have an issue being lost in the menus. I may fumble every now and then but that’s just my brain when I got too much going on. Going into an interface, I would DI in, and ditch the amp and cab. Being that you would be working in the box, you could always reamp your recording into the B6 again and play with the amps and cabs afterwards. Just an option.

  Hello Terry. I have a few questions for you. I play bass in church and have been using the B6 along with a Dunlop X mini as a passive volume pedal. I also have a MXR Studio Compressor (same as the Bass Compressor I am told). My questions are- how do you have the compressor going into the unit? My volume pedal has an internal switch and can be set to be a passive volume pedal or as an effects pedal. Would it make more sense to plug the bass into the compressor, then into the input of the unit, and use the volume pedal as an effect (change the switch)? And where in the B6 signal chain should the volume effect pedal be placed (optimal)? I don't dislike the B6 compressors- I just wanted to free up processor space (and I like how the MXR handles the signal from my passive bass). I don't use any IR or cabinet sims (just amp sims or preamp sims). The last thing I use is the ZNR (I think it works great). I run XLR out to FOH. I am just trying for basic meat and potatoes sounds that have variable flavors (and occasionally use an octave effect). I wasn't sure if you used the compressor in the effect loop or direct in. Lastly, I have a SansAmp DI pedal that I want to use as a preamp. Could that be routed into the effects loop (it's kind of hissy if plug out of it into the B6). I appreciate any insights you could share. Thanks! - Rick

• 
  @terrymcgaha35602 ай бұрын

  I run my compressor right from the bass, then into the B6. Personally I would run the volume pedal in the loop, after any effects so if I were to turn the pedal down, it would not effect the signal I have going to the effect, only controlling volume after any effects. Example, I want to come down but still hear the full effect of my chorus. If you always use the sans amp di, I would put it before the B6 input and then use the znr first. But if you prefer using effects before the preamp, you could go bass>compressor>b6>effects send>loop to preamp>volume pedal>effects return, putting the loop last in your chain or second to last in front of any delay or reverb. The preamp in front of the b6 is probably a bit hot for the b6 input as to why you are getting a hiss. Possibly try turning your b6 input signal down to alleviate it. Thanks for watching and the questions. Sorry I took a few days to respond.

IR’s, I don’t use much only because I haven’t found one that I couldn’t do with the onboard preamps or amps. And as far as the choice between those, amps and preamps hold the same roll as each other. It’s really a matter of preference and I use them both depending on the tone I am looking for.

  A couple questions. If at times I'm not using an amp do I need to turn off the send in that patch or I shouldn't have to change anything and everything will just go to front of house like normal? Does the send effect take up much processing percentage? I have built some patches I like but I don't think I can add anything else unless I delete an effect. To be clear the send effect needs to be after all the effects you want to send to the amp but in front of the pre amp/ cab that you do not want to send to the front of house correct? I've been running out of the headphone out to the effects return and running the amp flat but that still receives the amp/cab effect as well. This would solve that issue. Lastly, I would have to add a send effect to every patch I use if I am going to use or potentially use an amp on stage. Sorry for so many questions but this potentially can solve many issues for me.

• 
  @terrymcgaha35603 ай бұрын

  No, you shouldn’t have to turn the send off. I believe the send takes 3% but does occupy the space of an effect. Yes, the send needs to be before the built in preamp or IR. Yes, you would have to add a send to every patch but depending on how many patches you use, you could keep what you have, copy it to another patch, then add the send. Also, if effect space is an issue, you could always make your patches “smaller”.. for instance, if you never run a fuzz with a chorus, copy the patch, delete the chorus from the patch, then do the same for another, but deleting the fuzz instead. Most of the time if you really think of what you use you can cover all of your tones.
