Hi guys,
I have two EBMM JP6's - one being very new and one being very old. With that said i am having a couple "issues" with the new one and I use that term very loosely because I think I know how to fix one of them and the other may not BE an issue and more to do with me I don't know.
1) With the compensated nut, is it typical that you would get a lot of string "ping" for lack of a better technical description when using the tremolo? I ask because on my original JP6, it never has had that problem ever so I am a little confused. I guess this is this something I can resolve with some graphite?
2) With the new JP6 I have, I am noticing that I am breaking a LOT of strings! I am not playing any more than I was before, nor do I THINK I'm playing any harder and I use the tremolo just as much as I ever have so I was surprised to be breaking strings like I am - and I don't mean the high "E" but the E, D AND G strings. Especially with it being only a few months old. I don't "SEE" anything wrong with the saddles but they are so small it's hard to tell. I had the original set of strings on there for a LONG time - probably 3-4 months and FINALLY broke one, but since then, I am breaking strings a lot more frequently - especially in relation to the other JP6 which I change strings on about 2 times a year or before a "legitimate" gig worth changing strings for whichever comes first - LOL
So with the bridge issue is there something I can try or something I can check and if for some reason there is a "burr" or whatever on the saddle, I would think it's far too early for something like that to develop?
OR is it the strings?
Funny quick story... Just to tell you how often I break strings with my other JP6... I bought it I think in 2003 and they had a promotion for 2 years worth of free strings! 24 sets... I JUST used my last set of Slinkys in 2008 and was given 3 boxes of DiAddario's <sorry Big Poppa> (3 sets per box) which lasted me until I had to change the strings on my Dargie! I bought for the first time the strings in the new packaging and unless you guys changed the formula in the strings or something I can't imagine that would be the cause.
They're definitely breaking at the saddle I can tell you that much cause I have two bulldogs who eat anything and when I break one, it's a mad dash to find the ball end - LOL
Any feedback is greatly appreciated ya'll
Thanks!
