8 - 1 to change the bulb, 3 to go on about how they did it just as well with their Asian knockoff brand bulbs, another 3 to defend their higher end bulbs by saying that it makes them more comfortable to screw in, and one to see the whole thread and GAS over MTD bulbs.

[Rickett Customs]

Dude, this needs to be a stickie
So much the diverse mannerisms described here.

[El-Bob]

hahaha, good post. i got a laugh out of it

[Mcfunkinstein]

was it at least an eco-friendly light bulb?

[lobey]

You forgot about the 5 people who will say that the foreign made bulbs (that were previously made in the USA) have horrible quality control and are no longer living up to the name they used to stand for.

Also, the 80 people who will say that Brand B light bulbs are just copies off of Brand A bulbs, and last only a limited time due to cheap construction and materials, despite some Brand B bulbs lasting years without a problem.

[David1234]

two more ask whether the light bulb impedance is too low and will burn his mum's house down

three more asking whether to plug them in in series or parallel

[Smallmouth_Bass]

200 to say that the MarkBass LMII can do it all by itself with the punch of a SS head, but with the warmth of a tube.

[fenderhutz]

You forgot to add Major Metal screaming "Metallica!" and uttering random Metallica lyrics in the process.

[Dave R]

It wouldn't be so funny if it weren't so true.

[bassman314]

3 to troll the thread for no other purpose than to annoy the most opinionated members of the thread

[wdinc01]

Six more to offer their views which kinds of filaments in the bulbs would best do the job.

[Mr_Sore_Fingerz]

You're forgetting 25 people starting an argument over which provides better, more authentic light: regular filament or fluorescent bulbs =)

[Rickett Customs]

This is more and more sounding like a recap so far this year

[Darkstrike]

"What about Sadowsky brand bulbs, better than Fender...."

[Honk'n_down-low]
