    Double Bass string with 'Puh'

    thanks. it's better when i turn down the magnetic pickup. and as i said, it produces little Puh and too much sustain when play unplugged. in EUB, the body doesn't soak up the energy of the plucked strings. DB seems to soaks it up at the moment i pluck. i think that's the problem. maybe...
