[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='792071' date='Mar 31 2010, 03:57 PM']Somewhere between frets 6 and 9 on the G (on pretty much every Stingray I've ever played), somewhere around fret 4 on the E if you're really unlucky.
Often they're not really noticable until you plug in an effect that relies on sustain to do its job (octavers, harmonisers, envelope following effects too to some extent) and then suddenly they're the most annoying things in the universe.[/quote]
I'll have a look man, granted I haven't used many effects for a few years (though I just bought some), but I've had my 4 string fretted for over 20 years and it's been plugged into every possible combination noise making device imaginable and I've never noticed it, I might be deaf but maybe I'm just fortunate to have a got a good one (or three hopefully)!
