They use a 24.75" scale (if it is essentially a carbon copy SG), where as fenders use a 25.5" scale

So that could be the problem, still, try some heavier gauge strings, how low a string can go staying playable isnt that dependant on the guitar, my cheap bass has a great action and accoustic sound (its a let down when amplified, so im thinking a new pup could do it well), and it can go down a fair few steps before becoming unusable

Toneking thinks that you need some lessons in how to set up a guitar.

One needs to perform truss-rod adjustments every time a new gauge of string is used, in order to compensate for the differing tension on the neck.

no need for thanks

Exclamation
Tone K I N G - would like to remind those who care about tone that his knowledge extends further than guitar amps and guitars.

electronics, microphones, brass and woodwind instruments, fine food and wines.

toneKING is avaliable to educate you on any of the above.

no need for thanks.

ToneKING feels that the combination of a boss metal zone pedal and a line 6 amplifier will not ever produce a pleasing 'real heavy' sound.

ToneKING also feels that a line 6 amplifier will never produce a pleasing sound.

Line 6 amplifiers use digital impulse technology to simulate the distortion characteristics of good amplifiers. If a good valve amplifier is avaliable second hand for the same price (such as sovtek, sound city)
it seems ridiculous that people would choose the line 6 at all.

Do you know of any pilots who prefer microsoft flight simulator to flying a 747,

ToneKING thinks not.

In this particular unfortunate situation, toneKING will advise 'clegg' to bypass the pedal and use the 'amp' distortion.

No need to thank TONEKING

TONEking wishes to clarify.
TONEking presumes your amp is a Spider. BEHOLD

Bearing in mind that suggested settings can never compare to using ones ear.

As usual, no need to thank.
