As Randy Kohrs reminded me just about exactly a year
ago, the human ear is more sentitive to frequencies
abo the fundamental notes of our (standard G tuning)
strings. (Most sensitive in the 1000-4000 cps range.)
So more treble in the bass notes makes them seem
louder, clearer, more solid. When these higher
frequencies are missing, the sound seems dull or
"muddy." This is why strings go dead - hand grunge
between the small spiral windings kills the trebly
harmonics, and the sound no longer seems so full to
us.
