.... in the middle of a concert needed to "swab out".... had more than enough time... used the nice pull through from XXXXXXXX, but the weight wouldn't get past the reg tube... tried and tried and tried (as well as weight not being heavy enough, it had an annoying knot on end, and the material the "leash" was made of would stick to the wet bore). In the end i never got to swab out... had to give in and get back to playing as my 30 bars rest was up.
I have had this experience (or a similar one) with swabs from a number of sources (Tim Clark, Reeds Aus, Wurlitzer, Yamaha, Buffet)- but NEVER with a swab from BG or my Doctor's swab. Actually, one of my favourite swabs now is from Wurlitzer, with a BG weight/leash sewed on. These days the Drs swab is the only one i will bother trying to use in performance situations.
