Just getting used to the 1" bullet bar. In time I think I'll spring for a BJS to get rid of some of the string noise.

Very Happy

Tuning is E13/G

its 1- 2-5-1 in the key of C

Nice. Now you'll have to play it through all the cycles in all keys. The Jamey Aebersold Volume 3 Play-Along would be really helpful for that.

Wow thanks guys.

Coming from you all thanks means a lot.

Anybody else find that a non-chromed steel has a bit of string drag noise.

I tested this by palm blocking and then just moving the bar and I can hear string noise.

I remember when I use to use a Shubb tone bar it was chromed and would be silent when doing this.

Definitely thinking now about the BJS as its chromed.

I much prefer a chromed bar over a stainless one.
And the BJS is the best chromed bar around. Very Happy
And NEVER use a stainless bar on stainless strings, feels like sandpaper! Whoa!

Ahhh thats why it makes so much darn noise. I was trying to figure out for sure.

Thanks Andy. I wish I knew before I went through 4 purchases and they all make a scraping sound. I could've bought a a BJS by now.

I had to roll the tone ALL the way down to 4 to stop the scraping sound. I thought that was normal and couldn't figure out how to get a brighter sound without that scrap-iness.
