Heavy Bottom Cap update

I bought a set of Harrelson bottom caps for my 30xxx Bach Strad. My old baby had been getting a little squirrelly and I thought it would be worth a try since I have heavy bottoms on my Harrelson.

I've been playing with them for a couple months now, and last night I was playing a gig and noticed that thi8ngs were going exceptionally well compared to the way they had been going a couple months ago. I'm in love with my old Bach again!!!

I'm not sure if it is the Hawthorne effect, or if they really are making a big difference, but I raelized that on a long job I'm finding my horn easier to play in the center of each pitch and that the sound is just warmer and in my case darker, but the sound still cuts!
