how do I find true zero?

[Clifford Erickson]

Hi all, I was enjoying myself the other evening with my CE24 and after using the trem system the intonation has been off.It was good before hand.Any suggestions would be appreciated big time.What would be a good idea is a key groove or something to be able to lock it @ true zero.

I don't think there is a true zero, due to diversity of string gauges across sets, micro-variations in gauge and elasticity of individual strings, intonation, tunings, etc. etc.

took all tension off and re tuned it.seems ok...stupid that I didnt think of it.

I was wearing a purple shirt all day Saturday! I couldn't have been that hard to find.

You're welcome. Had you gone to another thread, it would be Me And Mrs. Jones, but with the wrong lyrics.

I can think of worse tunes to be earwormed by.

Cel-e-brate good times, come on!

Brutha, you are oh so right.

True story. A friend of mine hated Sheena Easton's "Morning Train". I found this out when he walked past my desk while I was listening to it. So whenever he'd leave his office, I'd call his phone and play the tape. Then I found out how to send it without calling his phone. So I did that.

Then...then I found out I could schedule a message to be sent.

Repeatedly.

As in EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Not for days. Not for weeks. For MONTHS.

He finally made friends with someone in telecomm and had them threaten to remove my voicemail access. Since it was the 90s and we still depended on voice mail, I had to comply.

Had that happened today, he might still be getting the messages. I have e-mail. And a second phone. And no one leaves me voice mails.

I would call that homicide justifiable.

That one doesn't bother me. The worst ones for me are when I don't know the lyrics and they trigger another song, so I have this bastard genetically spliced hybrid earworm instead. That I don't know all the lyrics to. And doesn't exist in reality, so it's not like I can just listen to it to get it out of my system.

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on her tuffet
Eating a Christmas pie
Along came a spider
and sat down beside her
and said, "what a good boy am I"

Payback is a biatch, and what comes around, goes around. Karmic retribution could come in the form of daily doorbell rings from your local Jehovah's witnesses to bulk sign-up to porn email lists. Your buddy was WAY too lenient. Otoh, I have a buddy where we swap barbs in a similar fashion on a routine basis. There are unspoken lines that simply aren't crossed or escalation ensues at a very uncomfortable rate. Ear-worms is a new term for me and will put it to use today.

Release the Kracken.

Karmic retribution could come in the form of daily...

Not to worry, there's no such thing as Karma. It's a mythical concept.

On the other hand, there is such thing as Mojo.

I am unable to explain why this is the case.
