Update as of October 2nd: or by custom order. So, how does that work again with GoFundMe? apb T.

It's a shame that you can simply buy something like that off the shelf... as an egg slicer. Maybe not cheap, but otherwise available to everyone. (Note that Mr. K is holding the instrument exactly as Petethebassman shows above.) apb T.

+1, exactly like that (maybe the other way around for right-handed people :)). I can hardly imagine anything more comfortable and relaxed. It also looks cooler than fiddling around below balls level, imho. Plus: neck dive becomes much less of a problem. apb T.

About time. The kneecap faction justifies itself with urban legends. Let the battle begin. I'll start: It does not look cool. apb T.

Actually functional. Not so much. apb T.

Well, you could edit your posts. You know, take his side, call us a bunch of infidels... I don't think the man is on talkbass though. People with very strong opinions are often not much interested in facts. apb T.

I say it's useless because it's white, not sunburst. Besides, alder sounds like crap, you need ash. And it's all for nothing if the copper wires contain oxygen. Never forget to apply some snake oil. (If the guy can tell an original '62 from a Squier CV blind, I'll buy him a beer. Forget it, he...

Thanks. Valuable info and a good point, I will give it a try right away. Update follows in a week or so. :) apb T.

Great, thank you very much, friend! I was afraid of something like that, Fender has been good for surprises before. I still find it a bit annoying. Like my first cell phone in the 90s: If you wanted to use it the next day, you had to leave it plugged in overnight. I thought problems like this...

If anyone is still here, I would like to ask the owners a question: Does your battery drain when it's turned off, too? Mine came new with a dead battery, takes hours to charge and is completely empty again after a few days (switched off, that is). Fender says it's Li-Ion, so none of this should...

Then the cheaper models are for fingerstyle, CS for... you know what - the thing that must not be named? apb T. Edit: This also sheds new light on ashtrays...
