We propose and study methods to improve tactile intuition for linear viscoelastic fluids. This includes (i) Pipkin mapping with amplitude based on stress rather than strain or strain-rate to map perception to rheological test conditions; and (ii) data reduction of linear viscoelastic functions to generate multi-dimensional Ashby-style cross-property plots. Two model materials are used... https://www.roneverhart.com/Yamaha-BBNE2-Nathan-East-Signature-5-String-Electric-Bass-in-White-p21349/
