It definitely devalues the sticker if you take the bass off it.

Are you asking me to rationalise my irrational prejudices? 🙂

Calling the bloke “Jaco”, as if he was a mate.

huh?

I've got bolt-on Warwicks which are really good, Status wooden neck models which are good, and I've had a Rickenbacker which I didn't bond with.

In fairness, he did say it was internet-only "I'm in the US so I never met Lorne, knew him about 10yrs online, we were Facebook friends,", so I guess it's entirely possible that he only got the "manipulated" (ref. your Christmas presents comment) view. I'm just trying to rationalise, not contradict; I'm really hoping that @impathological will drop in and close the loop.

FYI I posted a comment in the offending thread; hopefully the errors are genuine and will be addressed.

Whassup with black trainers? I generally wear trainers out and about and I prefer plain black to brightly coloured gimmick styling. (Unless you're also going to say people going out wearing trainers.) (BTW, sandals are footwear; sandles sell cars.)

I have to say I liked the large main hall in the old venue.

If I've told you once I've told you a thousant times not to exaggerate!

Since it's an acronym, it should be JPEG, but the "P" is indeed a "P", not a "Ph" or "F". And it's also often abbreviated to "jpg" - maybe the experts left the group?

Yep - I had a feeling it might either be tumbleweed or crikey!

and jif is for lemons.

Can't be a song if it's not got singing. A "diity" is more cringe than a "track".

So, some compression chats are expanded...

What if it's an instrumental?

Well, G is for 1 billion, so it'd be billions of times worse. 1024 would be kB, which wouldn't then be GB. Unless you believe in the multiverse, in which case they already exist in all permutations, every second of every day, and thus far exceeds even a TB and even a personal best (PB). Incidentally, just as "g" is excluded as a prefix because it is the symbol for grammes, "K" isn't allowed because it is the symbol for the Kelvin temperature range. Thus kilogrammes are denoted by kg. OK?

I used to have Schecter and Mighty Mite catalogues - they were fun to read through and spec fantasy guitar builds.

Well, I can't have one of anything; I have to have at least one more, just in case.

My Frankenstein! (Or is it Fronkenshtone?)

People writing "gb" for gigabytes... "g" is for grammes and "b" is for bits, so "gb" is gram-bits. "G" is for giga and "B" is for bytes, so "GB" denotes gigabytes. Also writing memory as "Gb", which is gigabits. Nothing is measured in gigabits; data rates are often expressed in gigabits per second, "Gbps" or "Gb/s". This is especially prevalent in the case of mobile phones, where there are both data rates (expressed in gigabits per second ("Gbps") and phone memory (expressed in gigabytes, "GB"). However, I did once have someone from a mobile supplier telling me that they were in fact the same thing. Then we have data rates being written as "mb" or "mbps". "m" is for milli (1/1000th). So an "mb" is a milli-bit, which doesn't exist. Whenever I see someone purporting to be knowledgeable about a topic writing "gb" or "mb", I inherently reject their post on the basis they don't even know their units.

I think they are at peace with themselves.

I agree - I think they look daft. I suppose it makes it easier to buy stock for building 4/5/6-string models, but it doesn't seem to be reflected in a price reduction. The worst example was Status Graphite basses - I just don't like their more recent models.
