Nice but @agedhorse is right, frets just make the neck look cluttered.
i didn't know agedhorse felt that way, but i concur with the thought...here's to uncluttered necks! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


per the OP: funny stuff! that thread was 'interesting' --- good to have "knob threads," too! :laugh:
 
I'm going to ask a question, give very minimal parameters, and then argue with every answer I get because, on point of fact, I know more than you.

Physics? Nah Doesnt apply to me.

Your experience? You're dumb.

Seriously, if anyone needs to vent from certain other posts, please come here.

How about this Origin Effects RevivalDrive Custom. Granted, it's for a guitar but, it has 17 knobs on the top along with 6 toggles and two such buttons. On the top it has 3 dip switches and the bottom has 4 switches for a total of 11 different positions. That's over 30 different knobs, toggles, dip switches and regular switches on a pedal that's 6"x5"x2"!!!

The really amazing thing is that every single one of them has a real function that is noticeable! It may intimidate many but a little time with the manual and maybe a couple of the OE instructional videos and it becomes an impressive pedal.

One of my favorite console lines, spent much of my career behind PM series consoles and have one sitting about 20 feet from my design workstation.

Ironically, even with that many knobs, they were incredibly reliable under harsh touring conditions. I'll bet that the "OP" would argue that point as well.
 
2 things.

Mark Bass as an option? Hilarious.

And the second? I just about died laughing when I was right for a particular thread got closed down even before 11 am (west coast). I’ll be sure and pour one out for our suspended “knobness warrior” homie.

I was this many old when I learned that thread had been shut down. It WAS educational for me in several ways though. :)
