So if we don't answer you'll switch to guitar? I'm missing something...

It does, most of the time actually. Works best for me if I do all the damping with my right (i.e. plucking) hand, maybe even start on the middle finger for a nice and mellow stopped note with a slightly more pronounced ringing note from the index finger to follow.

... and thanks for the tip, I'm gonna have to get that CD.
