    My new screw came for my B saddle. It is much longer than the previous one, but when I compared it to the screws in the other saddles it matched the A, D, G, C. The E also had a shorter screw, is that normal? Paperwork says it is the screw for the B string. You can see in the photo the tip on...

    Neck is finally straight after another 1/4 turn last night. Able to keep the action real low still too. Now have to wait for my screw to come from Ibanez, so I can set the intonation.

    Mine is usually either standing straight up, or standing up on the side. I never lay it flat or anything. Who knows though, weather could play a part too though. My music room is humidified and temperature controlled, but it is a bit more dry over winter. I have slowly been checking the rest...

    I'm getting closer on my neck. I almost feel like the first 1/2 turn on my truss rod didn't do anything, now that I've gotten another half turn I feel more resistance. I'm still buzzing pretty bad on the first 2 "frets" but I also have my action set very low. Wondering what other people have...

    I called Ibanez today, had to order a screw for my the bridge saddle it is bent and unusable, and the customer service rep I had was awesome. I didn't catch his name though, but he was super helpful. I discussed my neck warp with him too, and he said my warranty would cover that. I didn't...

    Gave the truss another 1/4 turn today, and its getting better. Was buzzing horribly all the way until the 7th "fret" before, and now only buzzes until the 3rd. I put it on the couch rested with the head against the wall, hoping tomorrow I'll see more improvement.

    I'll have to look into them wall hangers. Do you know if they make a version for slatboard walls? I have a whole wall of that for hanging guitars.

    I had it in the Ibanez recommended case, I forget the model number. I have wall hangers, but the 6 strings is too wide to fit in it. I have it in a floor stand now.

    I have the allen wrench that came with it in the case. Which I believe is why it went convex. Not the allen wrench in the case, but the case itself. I have kept this bass stored in the case when not in use, and when I was putting it back tonight I realized that the way it fits in the case...

    This is only the second "guitar" I've had go convex. The other being a Danelectro guitar which was a pain, because to get the the truss rod the neck had to be removed.

    I was so worried about my srf706 neck going concave and over winter the goofy thing actually went convex. Trying to straighten it out now.
