All strung up.
I know a lot of people don’t like coated strings or the colours.
I guess I am the exception in liking them.
 
I think your overlooking an important factor. Deals are great and I like deals.

But because I score one luckily, should I maintain a lower value of an item that it actually worth more? A simple concept. Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay. A prime example is a relic fender. You don’t see historical genders going for $500. Deal or not, an item holds a value and truly for that item to maintain that value it needs to be sold at the best premium possible to repeat the cycle. A deal is an odd occurrence to be had where as selling something for what it is worth maintains a standard.

The irony being...if people didn't flip stuff, you'd find more deals. Right now, a good deal will quickly be snatched up by either someone who actually wants it or by someone looking to make a buck which drives the sweet spot of market value up in general because there is a larger market at the lower prices.
 
View attachment 3496827 I was changing out my strings and thought if anybody could appreciate this it would be all of you.

Stay classy
I appreciate any Pedul...screech! Are those Big Blades, good sir? If yes, how dost thou likest them? I'm thinking of dropping a set into my 5-string. I need P/U's that will at least be in the same zip code as my G&L output-wise.
 
Are you the guy that keeps peeking through my window at random hours of the night?.

You have captured the essence of this perfectly... grocery store manager, sombrero and mustache as “props”...
I’m not falling for your psuedo-authentic-South American/Mexican-dining experience, Mr Acme...

Yes sir, they are Nordstrand big blades.
I love them. They breathed new life into my old Thunderbass.
I use an Audère pro Z preamp with them.
Very hot and clean!!!!!
 
Sweet! Thanks for the reply, that's some info I needed!

With that off my chest, I have to share this. I've posted questions about these P/U's in the Schecter Club, started 2 threads of my own, & yes, did reach out to Nordstrand (@SoniaMara was very helpful). I couldn't quite get info I was looking for. Where do I find a direct, good answer from someone with experience? In a thread...about needing a break from TB! :roflmao: :roflmao: This thread has gone all OVER the place! 31 pages now, over 600 posts (sheesh @Serious Ganja! :D), ah, God I love this place. I never need a break!

If I ever go back to work I’m going to have to appoint somebody to tend this place in my absence and keep the numbers flowing. Is that somebody you?, are you the chosen one?. How do they get the caramel inside the Caramilk bar?. And who’s monkey is on who’s back?. I just don’t know!.
