A friend of mine an I were screwing around years ago with "Godzilla" and suddenly he stopped and asked, "How are you doing that?" Of course I was confused and he specifically pointed out the vibrato. I have put bass frets in everything I have redone and tend to use my ring finger a lot to squeeze and bend while leaving my index stationary. I never thought about it at all till he mentioned it, and it sort of made me self-conscious at first. Taller frets will give vibrato from pressure alone, but he has a couple PRS McCarty's and would never consider modifying them at all (I don't blame him), so I just winked and told him, "Welp, it sucks to be you then 😀" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mild arthritis doesn't help either. I once had a '73 SG where the frets were like brick pyramids and tall. Sold it very shortly after acquisition. Not so with my '58 gold top LP.
