Oh my God, I didn't think it would be long before we started getting this drivel. This is the sort of thing I wish would come as paper rather than email as I can find a use for it in the toilet. Changing the subject, Yes I don't quite know what I was trying to say with the 'self induced hum' thing on the guitar, or rather I do know but I didn't put it very well. You are quite right Sacha (as you often are!). I think what I was really meaning is the usual hum found with say a Telecaster without a whacking electro-magnetic interference right next to it, against any guitar right next to a monitor which is probably the worst scenario (how many guitarists have you seen on stage with a Pentium III 550 PC next to them?). The real point I was making is in my experience with my guitars I have a noise problem with the monitor on. Regards,
