Amazon Deals WITH Discussion Thread

Just a heads up on those cables... though I just ordered them myself.

Last week I bought some braided 6' cables dirt cheap ($6) because I needed some for bedroom practice. They look cool and work, but they are $6 cables. I would never trust them on a stage I planned to move around on . I bought 2 of the 10' cables for backups with my wedding band as I'm always just trapped in a corner unable to move anyhow. Nobody is stepping on my cables, and they're not moving anywhere. The 20' cable I passed on as I wouldn't trust it (even for $2) if I were moving around a stage.

And it might be great too - I tend to think we get what we pay for though.

ya I got these to leave home plugged into synths that don’t move and also as emergency loaners. I mean what do you expect for that price?

Thanks for sharing the links to the cables... I picked up two 10ft black ones and a 20ft yellow, no brainer at that price!

Now, if Amazon would drop some prices on some short scale bass strings for my Mini Squire P-Bass.

If you have an AmEx card, you can get 50% off of certain things (like those DR strings) if you set it up to use points.
With that promotion, I was able to lower my cost to under $11/set.
Tough to beat that deal; even bulk strings work out to around $12/set when they’re on sale.

Bullfighter dual Musicman active 5’r $199 prime.
I hope someone takes the dive and reports back.

It’s called a bullfighter and highlights in the description include, “no harmful odor” and “it features solidity” however, “it is ideal for rock and roll, playing the blues, and everything else in between” so perhaps the distributor is conveying sonic limitations (someone hates Jazz, sheesh).
PU’s might be awesome, big dual mm’s aren't a finesse build and the bridge looks good. Swap the pre if needed maybe experiment with capacitors, have fun with it on the cheap. Any 5’rMM that’s sub 9# and holds intonation can rock pretty hard. I hope someone does this.
No mention of scale or truss design but hey two bills.

I watched the unboxing and suddenly I have World Party going through my head. "Put the gig bag in the box..."
