Yeah, the holes are funny. But what's really sad is seeing people who imagine they are artists and creatives being so afraid of something that isn't pre approved by the right people that they feel the need to attack others with phrases like "you can't fix stupid".
Not everyone wants to make their life goal playing Brown Sugar or Mustang Sally exactly like the original recording one more time. If you want to feel sad for anyone it should be the people so frightened by the unfamiliar it makes them angry. I'm saddened for those who will never know the joy of originality or creativity and instead focus on beating down those who do in an attempt to be on the same level.
And what ever happened to the no bass bashing threads rule?
Does that mean you won't be posting any more pictures of toilets filled with human waste? Because that was really a valuable contribution to this community.And with that, I am un-subscribed.

Nothing against Swiss cheese my friend, most of us think it’s cool with holes but not Swiss cheese bass!

Many people suggest that but really all it does is pull your shirt down.A strap with friction should mitigate the neck dive.
