Location: Jet City | I've heard that about BB too.
Where it counts most is with an electric, especially if you have a non-locking trem.
I've heard some people like to wind them to the bottom of the post to increase the break angle on the string, but that just seems like silliness to me. |

Location: Austin, Tx | I had the same experience the first week I owned my Patriot. '76 in Houston. Went down to a large park and saw a group of guys under a big tree playing away. They were GOOD! Two of them had matching Martin D35s. I was a kid of 16 so I kind of listened holding my Patriot like a whimp. Then they played some Neil Young I knew. I started in and played the lead and one of the guys actually could sing in falsetto like Neil so away we go. Now I was still intimidated. And I was kinda taking the quiet route not playing hard at all. After about 3 songs one of the Martin guys turned to me and asked if I could play lower. So I took out the softest pick I had and basically hardly strummed at all. That has happened a lot over the years. Good ole Deep Bowls....ha |
