Not MTD, but a real Tobias. Trujillo used to play them in his ST days. Interesting effort, not sure I ever need to hear it again, though.

My experience, from cheap basses to very expensive (US PRS, for example) is that many bigger manufacturers err on the side of caution (and speed) when it comes to nuts and leave them far higher than they ought to be. Alembic and Warwick, to their credit, come with adjustable nuts which are easy to adjust to taste. Bacchus and Sadowsky come with nuts which have actually been addressed by somebody who knows what they're doing and gives a sheeeeeet. I'm sure there are more, but can only comment on ones I have experienced first hand.

Around 2009, if I recall correctly. That 30 year mark is when the mojo crystallises and releases the tone endorphins, which right all known and unknown wrongs.

The prices being paid for Fender's lowest ebb will never stop amazing me.

The real worry, of course, is that one of the song titles contains "(feat. Ice T)" which should send a chill down the spine of us all. Ice is fine under his own steam but seldom do songs with his featurings ever result in anything other than a swift press of the skip button.

It's terrible, yes, but it's not Lobster Vic, which means it could be worse... if not by much.

I like cheese, grain and Paul McCartney, but I'd only eat two of them. Will that do? 🙂

Could do without the war porn video, all the same.

Sell it and be done with it. Stuff is just stuff.

Sounds like Kiko was let off the leash this time. Very promising.

Looks great, but I hear sirens approaching!

The string tension pulls a bolt-on neck away from the body, just like a top mounted bridge. If the bolt-on neck design is ok, then it must be ok to bolt-on the bridge, too, no?

Ahhh lads, it's not really yours until you've stripped it, removed to crustier biocrud, disinfected and reassembled it. It's part of the ritual these days 😂

I get more bothered by people advertising Squiers as Fenders, Epiphones as Gibsons, LTDs as ESPs, Tributes as G&Ls, etc.

You can also keep a sausage roll there while it cools, so you don't burn your fingers. That's a very versatile design.

Open the contact page in google chrome and have it auto translate?

They're designed to feed the lead around the strap button, which I always do. I've never had any trouble with the ones on my TRBs.

If you mean cool as in it should be dropped in the Antarctic, never to be seen again, then I'm with you entirely 😁

Adding a piece of white insulating tape over the LED would subdue it nicely for indoor shows, too.

You could replace the LEDs in your pedals with higher intensity versions which would be easier to see in daylight. It's fairly straightforward if you can wield a soldering iron.

They'd play stoner for sure.

If you can't hear the difference, do you really need the effect?

Some other gloriously impractical personal faves. Yeah, well, maybe I want to have somebody's eye out!

Back in the mid-80's, when they designed and released the first SRs, a 90's word processor font was a glimpse into the future 😁
