Key Lead Placement

[Richard Brekne]

Since nobody bit on this one I'll chip in with my 47 cents worth.

I like to place my leads out as far as posible.Tho I have been back and forth
on this a few times in my life. And I like to use a healthy amount of lead. I
am not convinced of this low mass approach and dont particularly like the feel
of such actions as I have run into that were set up such.

In short.. I like mass levels ranging from around 35-40 graduating down to 2-4,
and I like to use as little lead as possible to get there.
