SAT in low bass

[Ted Simmons]

I follow that, Dave, but how would one defend against that happening?  I
mean, suppose it's the end of the day, you're tired and you rely on the SAT
to get you through this last tuning so you can go home.  You are still
dedicated to doing the best job you can but need a little more assistance
from the SAT.  If that had been the case in the instance I described I may
not have caught that sharp B0.
