LOL!!...your spiders have arms??? just thinking, it might think the vibrations are something tasty landing in it's web?

Belinda, i tried it again...all was quiet,  and got same reaction, you could only call excitement!!...likely it responded as tho the sound was a threat ...but so FUNNY...because the spider completely about faced, web danced over to the speaker waving arms wildly, bounced about...acted like ready to dance!!!  not with the very first notes, but about 4-5 seconds in...LOL. maybe a mama spider and protective....the daddy longlegs said to be more poisonous than black widows....mouths too small to bite a human...now looking around I see more--high along the ceiling, the REST of the family---so yes, time to gently relocate!

I've got a 42 gauge on at the moment...tried a 52 first which was good too.

I shot for 25 1/2" scale and just about hit it!, except the bridge keeps moving around a bit. Must find something grippy to put under it, don't really want to stick it...

Love the look of this one.  The Bob Star pickup just looks so very right.  Sounds good with you playing too.
