It's basically just a trill on the top two strings right? I use my thumb and index. Classic example at 2:00 in this clip.

My Rick D12 is admittedly awkward on the lap but manageable. The inside neck is a bit of a challenge and alters your technique. Still, it's a nice grab and go option for casual situations. I find that ... | |

It's like a stutter button but instead of cutting the signal completely, it routes the highs to ground ... |

Nice clip, Tim. I enjoyed that. That boo-wah effect at the beginning of your solo... are you using a volume & tone pedal for that? I noticed that you didn't use the tone control for that.

Are you changing the volume or tone pot? The volume should be audio taper, the tone is probably linear like the one Donny linked to.

Humidity won't affect a Bakelite guitar at all. But keep it out of the sun. My panda detuned itself by a full step at an outdoor show last summer. | |
