low B ringing out

[Ammioz77]

Todd is the way to go. I got his dvd on technique and I refer to it several times a week. As one poster put, muting on an ERB is a completely different world because the whole bass is alive with that many strings. Whats really interesting to me, and I'm working on it now (got an SR506) is trying to get that four finger technique that Matt and Hadrien et al are using on their fives. Muting becomes a hell of a lot more impossible on that many strings... Anyone get any answers to THAT ONE? please hit me back!

Peace

Recently I got a Ibanez SR706 and i love it, except i have one big problem with it. Every time i play, especially when i get to the high strings my low B rings out. Since the neck is so large I can't mute my strings and play at the same time, so I'm at a loss for what to do.

This makes playing with fuzz or overdrive impossible because it muddies the whole thing up. Does anyone know if the bridge is at fault here? or is it something else? If it is the bridge is there a possibility of getting a replacement?
