IMPORTANT NOTE by wumpus (4.00 / 1) #10 Fri Jul 28, 2006 at 06:25:55 PM EST
Grounding straps contain a 1Meg Ohm resistance between wrist and ground.  You won't find many techs* willing to work on live electronics without the resistance.  I suspect that this won't change the sound too much (unless it only happens the first time you touch the strings, but not the second time).

*  EEs generally wear these only after a suit makes them and is still standing nearby.  After that he must ritually burn the thing before being allowed to put his plastic pocket protector back on.

...the story where the guy and his wife/girlfriend were into bondage.  He was an electronics engineer/tech.  After going out to lunch one day, she collared him and chained him to his work bench.  When the (Christian, vitamin-selling) suit walked in and asked him what the hell was that, he answered, "Ground strap."
