<div class="bbWrapper">I did some setup searching. I checked the 5th Fret string space while holding the string down at the 1st &amp; last fret. No space all . So I turned the truss rod adjuster aprox 1/4 turn Counter clockwise, looking toward the first fret from the last now I have what looks like the &quot;credit card &quot; spec. Sounded better.<br /> <br /> The My G Sting was sounding kinda weak so I raised the pickup a bit and it got more in line Volume wise with the D. I went in and out untill it sounded best. I also made it parrallel to the string.<br /> <br /> I checked the tune at the 12th fret it is just a bit off but I will fool with that another time.<br /> <br /> It sounds better already can&#039;t wait til I get those TI Flats <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek! :eek:" data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> Cant say TI here <br /> <br /> I feel like I really accomplished something <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Thanks to all y&#039;all <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Glad you figured all the fancy talk out.<br /> <br /> One thing - you might have to readjust your truss rod once you get those TIs on there (yes, you can say TIs here). They&#039;re much lower tension than other strings.<br /> <br /> Aren&#039;t EBMM basses easy to adjust? I wish all basses were like that.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I usually can figure it out I just can&#039;t spell it.<br /> <br /> Since I was a kid the first thing I did with a new toy was take it appart.<br /> <br /> Part of my devorce therapy was building a 10 second 1/4 mile Drag car from my 79 Malibu family car, never done anything like that before either<br /> <br /> I love to tinker <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></div>
