    Safer in room than an unattended vehicle. Car big enough to keep them out of sight ? Take photograph of them in the room. If practicable lock them to something large eg desk / table.

    No

    The anti-static ground connection as used in electronic production environments usually has a high impedance resistor in line (eg 1 Meg Ohm) to avoid high currents but still negate charge build up.

    New Schaller model 🤔

    In that sense nothing is instant. There is always a finite propagation time.

    The more complete the shielding the more effective it is. But how good is good enough is subjective.

    Disclaimer: I am not responsible for the condition of these items 😆 Salvage: Bare Body & Neck from Westone Spectrum ST Bass. Body is in a bit of a state - finish is cloudy / dents / looks like someone tried to remove the finish by heat then gave up. Neck is better but still very rough - finish cloudy / marks / dents etc. Fretting is actually still good in terms of fret ends and fitting but frets well worn as you might expect. VERY MUCH "SPARES OR REPAIR" See Pics. I'm thinking £25 each singly or both for £45. Collection from Brighton. Possible delivery in some of Sussex. Please ask if interested. Could post but thinking cost would be out of proportion. Ask if interested. Offers welcome if you think overpriced.

    Yes. It happens mainly when the "plastic" pickguard has become "shiny" through friction from playing contact . Also noticed when touching / brushing (isolated) pickguard screws. The conductive tape / grounding method works. For a quick temporary fix try wiping pickguard with anti-static wipes rg Tumble Dryer sheets. For a permanent fix - non-pickguard instruments 🤣

    The pickguard effect is a thing. Esp when material is worn / shiny. Or you may be charging up yourself ? Patent leather shoes ? Nyion Carpet ? Shiny floors ? etc ...

    I didn't realise it was an acoustic tbh makes more sense to me now.

    My take: If you want a fretless then buy a fretless bass or a fretless neck to substitute. I'll get my coat...😳

    +1 . It's "stiffness" rather than the mass itself that is important in not dissipating vibrational energy.

    So now would be the time to break out the WD40 or similar. Give it time to penetrate then see how it goes. If no joy then maybe some graphite loaded lubricant like the stuff recommended for high security door locks. Again allow time to penetrate. Is it a bolt on neck ?

    Amongst talk of different wood species - the issue of construction seems ignored here. eg one piece vs laminated Vs flat sawn Vs quarter sawn neck construction. Bolt on / set neck / thru neck...

    Surely you need one of those aluminium neck Kramers 🤔
