Thanks Calvin and Eric for your thoughts.
Kenny Boy, Down here (NZ) we use all the notes on the bass.
I was practising minor arpeggios when I found that mean ol' wolf. I hadn't gone out of my way to find it, I just needed it at that time.
(My old plywood does a similar thing on the A string Ab and, yes, I can do without it - after all, it's only one note.)
I was also playing notes around it - F, F sharp, G, A and they sounded fine. I actually use the E, F & G quite a lot, but not the A or above - although I sometimes play those high harmonics on the E string.
Hey Ken and Tim, I really enjoyed the wolf jokes! Who would have thought to compare a funny note to a mean ol' critter? I can see you two doing a sort of stand up thing, maybe with Smilie masks.
"Laaadies and gentlemeeeen, please welcome, all the way from yankeeee land.... put your hands together for the Smilie boys..... Kenny and Timmy!"
