:)  Around the time I took my current job, I had a chance to work for
a local music store.  (I'm sure I'd bring home way less cash if I had
taken that job!)

Yeah, mine too - once I got the right strings dialed in, and when I
finally gave up on using the E string by itself (that hollowed out
body for the computer just ruined the tone) it was a real hoot to
play!  I especially loved trading off with the drummer - I did the
usual slap on the E and A strings assigned to a kick and pop on the D
and G assigned to a snare.  Hmmm, now that I think of it, some of my
midi modules didn't work with it, and I actually had to write a midi
filter program that captured the pitch bend message and then rewrote
the note on message with the "real" note...

Yeah, I had to peel off the fretboard ;) and resolder a couple of
those resistors...
