Knew you’d catch that one. Now, the designer is Indian where the swastika has a positive meaning for a couple thousand years; however, the company is Palestinian with a parent organization in the West Bank, Jordan, UAE… might just go over like a
in the ole hummus bowl.
The 'swastika' is a 3K+ y/o symbol used in many cultures. Unfortunately, corrupted forever by the A-hole with the stupid mustache.Knew you’d catch that one.

Motown….killer tunes on the radio…

Sheepishly says, "Thank you!"
The '05 is a nice bass. Not the modern time people prefer, but it's got a massive sound and feels great.
I saw that as well. Looks great. Not the price, however.
Yep. Good on you for knowing that.
Most "leaders" seems to miss that little point.

They got good taste, these two are hilarious together.My wife and daughter watch them all the time
I meant that with big brands in general, but yes I quite agree that Squier, Fender and ESP have that overabundance in greed. For example, in 2019 (pre pando) a Squier Classic Vibe 60's costed here 360-70€ it's over 400+ now, hell even the affinity branch has gotten quite expensive. Those numbers might not mean much over there (considering the difference in currency values and experience) but here it does, a lot.
Yeah, but you’re getting so much more for your money, like… well, kinda… well, maybe… well.
Never mind, your right, I got nothin.
It is. But the price is crazy.
It’s far more versatile. The single coil tap setting was a pleasant surprise. I haven’t played out with it much yet.
Brothers and sisters In Christ…
The swastika of the national socialist German workers party goes clockwise.
It’s as silly as mixing up a 2 and an 5.
America and Western Europe are obsessed with the bad man. Id blame the denazification propaganda if the post war era but interestingly accoridng William Shirer (reporter of the time and historian l) and Toland and their publishers? They didn’t think anybody would be interested at all in a book on the Third Reich in the 50s and 60s.
It’s more of a new obsession of the last 20-30 years. It is interesting though that Vlad chose to place at the ‘de-Nazification’ at the center of his messaging to the west with respect to his ‘special military operation’. The Russians think we’re obsessed with it too.
Anyway, it’s interesting that the bad man has seen a resurgence in Western national consciousness to the point where one can’t look at a Turkish (dare I suggest a nation with a long history of conquest and doing the bad man thing to the kardashians and many other groups?) sign without thinking of him.
Anyway, I’m done, the conversation as veered to close to politics.
Exactly why I made my own....
I couldn't find a poopy used one for under 3k.
under/over $450 invested
One of my closet classics cost me under $150
Back tracking OT: Found out how the crooks ordering the $19K credit card in my name were going to get it. They put in a change of address with the USPS. Shutting that down now. Good thing I had Experian and USPS Informed delivery.
Are you going to follow with legal action against them?
I like that those pickups are seeing more action. They were in a bird for only one year. They make what was already a more versatile bass than the unenlightened refused to recognize even more versatile.

Unfortunately, these crooks do everything online and unless the bank and postal service actually tracked IP addresses, issued subpoenas to the ISP, etc. no one would know they are. Like the old Western Union scams from a Prince in Nigeria...
P.S. likely using a VPN to hide their real IP address...

I got a scam text Saturday morning saying that my(bank name)Online Account had been frozen and to reply to the text. Two things tipped me off: (1) I don't have an online account with any bank, and (II), I don't text. I immediately called my bank who asked me to send them the phone number the text came from and the email address the scammers had included. What happens next is up to the folks at my bank.
