- second I would ask the teacher if (s)he would show me the way to warm tones

Incidently, I consider it another one of my personal challenges to extract the best and most musically compatible and interesting tones I can with my SR5 (maple/piezo) and stock Slinkys using minimal knobtwiddling and minimal amp settings
- I'm coming closer to the day when the temptation will be too much and I will lace up some JazzFlats for that highly rated experience

BTW, on the way home from the teacher's house, I would forget the cheescake and spend my money on another SR5
- so I could have one with JazzFlats, and one with Slinkys


meanwhile, I'm still pondering an SR5 Rosewood-Piezo, and a Bongo HSP, and a Bongo Fretless HSP, and a Bongo HP

1. My teacher tweeked the EQ and it helped
2. The Seller told me he had some DR Loriders? they are pretty old.
3. As I said in another post I have been reading and Tweeking with good results
4. I pretty sure your piezo affects the tone.
5 The Cheescake is going to be the way to afford another Stingray Maybe even a Bongo

I think your Pondering to much

Have you ever tried "Junior's #1" cheesecake? Whoa....it uses a yellow cake for the crust....unbelievably good. If only you could make a Key Lime pie.....now you're talking......

On 4, Gotta Have Piezo, can't live without it now - especially on the SR5 Fretless
On 5, I dunno about the Cheesecake helping you afford another SR, but it has great potential for really Phat to(n)nes

and ... you musta bin talkin' to my ex-wife
