Well done your Bassness :D
I thought that Grandad was hearing things - I never for one second thought that the brushed snare work might be described as hissing :shock:

Looking on the bright side Phil - at least you've connected up your stereo correctly 8)

Fine, just do it.
I'd get pissed off very quickly having to switch USB sticks in order to get a different selection of music.

The cure used to be a bit brutal. Take the neck in your left hand, the top horn of the body in your right. Push down on the top horn and yank the neck upwards - you'll hear a crack as the neck moves slightly :shock: The top E should now be in the correct position. It works, but it's one for the brave.
