@edward, No I always use my DS-5 when practicing on my series bass.
@Stefanie, yeah that particular relaxation happens a lot when I'm practicing late at night. Strangely enough many times when I get home from a gig I need to play at home before hitting the sack in order relax and come down from the high of the gig. Usually those times I fall asleep with the bass in my hand waking up to a cold house, put the bass away and go to bed.
