Yeah, the timbre thing. Right now I am in it pretty deep trying out different strengths vs. different cuts to see if I can work it out. After a little over two weeks I can say that a careful focusing of the "sweet spot" in the sound helps get richer tone colors (in any range) but it does require a fair amount of conscious effort (more than I am comfortable with right now).

HOWEVER, I disagree with the premise that something (anything about playing) needs to be difficult to achieve a desired effect. It is all up to us to CREATE the effect that we want. This reminds me of an old George Burns quote, "Acting is all about sincerity, if you can fake that, you've got it made!"
