It is when these thingees are used for 'crutches' that problems stick out such as your "abrut" (sic: abrupt) shift in weights. Just go ahead and address all the friction issues first before you make any decision on disconnecting these puppies. Adjusted correctly they can be of significant benefit in an intrinsically heavy bass section. My view. Jim Bryant (FL)
