I was only on my first pint of the day when I replied to Billy's post, the dark nectar from the Emerald Isle has a lot to answer for :D

Whatever you do, DON'T under ANY circumstances drink this :- http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html

It's actually quite frightening what it can do...:?: :?:

BTW with the BAR at the 17th fret, unless you have the hand the size of a child's, you can't even get your palm to the octave position.. You'd have to be hitting the strings with your palm 4-1/2" from the bar.

I'll just try a half then, I mean, How bad can it be?

BTW. 16th fret but it involves my right hand thumb rubbing against my left hand index finger.
Not sure I'd ever be able to hit it in the heat of the moment - If I ever have a heated moment on the PSG that is - So far it's looking doubtful.
