Thank you TBJ. I love your idea for the nut file. You just have to be extremely careful not to make the string slot any deeper when using it. What string gauges are you using? The DDT-55's are 55-75-95-115 and I'm wondering if the 115 will get me down to the B.And I'll echo Marko1960, welcome to the site MammasedNokuowt and JoeBassJoe. I'm also new to the site.
Welcome FatStringer! I'm using Ernie Ball flatwounds, because they combine very well with the characteristics of the Ibanez humbuckers. The gauges are 0.060, 0.080, 0.105, 0.130. To my opinion 0.115 is too thin for a stable playable B, unless you have an incredibly light touch. Filing the nut always has to be done with great care. Fortunately new nuts are available for a few Euros, Pounds, Dollars. Here's what my Ibby can do with the fat EB flatwounds.
