wearing silk gloves worked for holger czukay...

i think it'd be worth having a look at that crack, just to be on the safe side...

If you know your gear let them take care of what they do.[/quote] plus the one best way to get a sh*t sound ? rub the person doing the sound up the wrong way. best to get an OK sound by playing ball than be unheard cos you hacked the wrong person off. ymmv as per
