Should there be a drastic, or subtle difference in height?
What, 'tad' isn't a universally known measure? :)

I dont know the offical answer. Mine is a little higher, just enough to 1. Get a break angle, and 2. To lean against the pull off the strings a bit, so the back 2 don't lift out of their seats.
 
Korat? Our two have a Dansk dad and the lad's mum is Norsk, while the lass's mum is from Suomi.

Would love to have a Korat - But here's the thing: There are hardly any breeders in Europe (or anywhere else for that matter), except a select handful. The Danish lady is one of the very few, and she usually needs to have her tomcat out for breeding in Norway, Finland and Germany where some of the other breeders are, to avoid inbreeding. So due to this Korats are rather rare and quite expensive.
 
I know right?, its those damn FAXE 8.0% Viking beers.

That's funny, those beer are not really common over here in Denmark... We got all sorts of other local and imported stuff, but I rarely run into FAXE beers, as they changed name to Royal on the Danish market years ago. Apparently they kept the FAXE name for export and sodas.

Sorry Dude I shoulnt have nick named it for you. The brand is Faxe and its from Denmark and its amazing. I could totally see vikings pounding this stuff for sure.drool

Vikings used to drink mead, which is a completely different kind of brew, brewed on fermented honey rather than wheat - Mead was a sweet and strong brew in the range of 8 - 19%!

I used to get Faxe in the big 900ml cans as a treat when we did the weekly shop as a student. Lovely stuff as I remember!

My pee was stronger than that after my Christmas bender :roflmao:

Seriously, I tried some real home made meade once, you must have to have the hwyl of a Viking to get drunk on that! Strong though, stuff I tried was about 15% as I remember
 
Just plugged in the Epi ChinaBird after being on the NRBird for the past few days and the immediate impression was the Chinabuckers are very polite - definitely lacking snarl. I have been toying with the idea of turning it into a single pickup instrument and it seems a Thunderbucker 66S may be in its future.
2x 1 pickup 'Birds? Or just switch off the bridge?
