🤣🤣 Chrome browser on my Android phone translates it all for me!

I didn't like my original avatar being turned into the background for our identity-subsuming badges, so I thought if the badge is at the forefront, may as well have a background to match. Five minutes of playing with Snapseed and TA-DAH! edit, another five minute fiddle later:

If you tell the Fender website that you're in Japan then you get to gawp at the huge range of MIJ models that seem to be usually JDM only. As far as I can see the Traditional range knocks a couple of millimetres off the nut width as a matter of policy. I think Basswood is standard, as well. Gear4music have got a couple of the Traditional 50s in. U shape profile, but 42mm nut and 9.5" radius. £1,249. If they had the 40mm 70s model in stock as well I would be wandering up the road to them right now.

Quite! Have their never been pitchforks at the castle gates, demanding that their Oberschlapper appear on the balcony with a bb1200?

....and you've never had a BB?! How on earth has the membership stood for this!?

It's good to hear that you like it as it is, are satisfied with it as it is. It doesn't sound like you miss the straightforward series option available on the modern version, either 👍🏻

Will we need to have tissues at the ready? Being slightly more serious, would the @ped-mod of turning the rear pickup's OMG mode into simply a single coil mode be really easy? Instead of going from back coil to cap-laden front coil, you would just bypass the front coil, yus? Leaving the cap intact, doing sod all.

Having slept on this I've worked out that you need to replace the pickup selector switch and the OMG/parallel switch with a pair of Strat style five-way selector switches, one for each pickup, offering you: front coil / parallel / off / OMG / back coil You're more than welcome! 😁

I've sent a DM to them on twitter, inviting them to give an alternative explanation.

Great, so not only am I being spied on, I'm being spied on by incompetents

Since the strength of the Fender brand is so strong, especially for basses, is having a good offering at each rung of the price point ladder more important to them than offering the same specs to price ratio as the less established brands? At a step up from the standard American Pro II are a retro model and a modern model: Am Ultra P – £2099 Am Original – £1949 Am Pro II P – £1849 Having the Player Plus in the range does the same job with the MIM models, they offer both a retro and a modern option as the step up from the standard Player: Player Plus P – £1069 Vintera P – £1049 Player P – £779 Without it, for someone wanting to spend around a £1000 on a P, the only option would be the Vintera, which doesn't have universal appeal. The Player Plus balances that. And the gap between the two sets is bridged with Am Performer P – £1279 MIJ Boxer – £1209

I was hoping you were going to say, the site is maintained by that company. Oh well. Perhaps I've got spyware on my phone 😕

I've only got Chrome on my Samsung phone. It was when the notification was still in bold. After the third time I took the screenshot and then clicked on something else at random. From then on, the issue vanished.

As if we aren't all just repeating exactly the same stuff every five or six pages

When I was trying to click on this notification I was taken to this screen, three times in a row. I'm guessing it's benign:

[REDACTED] sorry, but General Discussion is a publicly visible subforum

Now I'm daydreaming of the L2Ke Ped-mod .... a switch that puts the neck into OMG, but the bridge into single coil....

What combination makes the bridge soloed sound best?

To me that document reads like something produced by a non tech person who has diligently taken down verbal descriptions from tech people who aren't aware that they've used slightly different words to describe the same thing at different moments

Since the physical difference between series and OMG is just a capacitor, does that mean that the wiring for adding the single coil option is exactly the same for both L-2000 and L-2000E? (as if my knowledge of the practicalities of guitar wiring goes any further than knowing how to ruin the insides of a Weston Thunder guitar ) I do like how in the original G&L sheet you've given us ^^^^ the OMG mode is called single coil plus added bass boost. Describes the resulting sound, not how it's achieved.

All in one list Fallout – parallel / OMG / single L-1000 – parallel / OMG / single L-2000E – parallel / OMG L-2000 – parallel / series L2k K-mod – parallel / series / single Kiloton – parallel / series / single

I think CLF models aren't really reissues in that sense – the slim C neck profiles for example seem rooted in an outlier example back when neck production was more art than science, ie they found an old excuse for satisfying the current fashion. The CLF L-1000 is as you would expect – three-way switch offering parallel, single coil and OMG. The CLF L-2000 does not have your L-2000E wiring though – it's just the modern parallel/series two-way. But they do have the period correct knobs!
