Based on @hillerup ’s recommendation a while ago I treated myself yesterday to a K&M dual stand for my birds. It should arrive on Friday, and it will make gigs a lot easier!

Cool... They are really great stands! :)

One advice - Don't overtighten the screw that adjust the legs, as it can get stuck... Don't ask how I know that...

Wales is part of Great Britain as is Ulster and as the Indian nations are part of the US

There has been in the past a similar but smaller struggle for independence from London rule here in Wales as there was in Ulster. People died here too in a fight to gain our freedom just as they did across the water. It remains an extremely sore point to many Welsh to this day.

All I ask is you don’t insult me by calling me British. I have nothing against the English at all but I am Welsh not British, my family have strong links with the Welsh struggle, one even imprisoned on charges of terrorism by MI5 (falsely I add).

OK. Got it. I was mainly referring to the SUPPOSED gentility as portrayed in film,etc. over here. You know, stiff upper lip and such b.s. BTW, the Seminoles in FL have never signed any kind of treaty w/ the U.S.

OK. If you were to use a gig bag for you T-Bird ( and thumb your nose at the broken head stock Gods), which would you choose?

For my '67 NR Gibson, I can't buy an off the shelf case. I'd have to go custom @$500+.The only gig bag I found that would hold it was from Dean. I don't recall the model but talk to them. They were very helpful. The bag's fairly thick, so that helps.

Would expect £100 each for the pups + £12 each for the rings = £100 - £224.

Clever girl! :)

That makes totally sense now... So compared to a set of chinabuckers + rings which currently sell for £72,50, you could buy 3 sets for the same price as a set of Mojo's...

I misread that last time I looked, I thought they were that each, have to look when I get home and off this phone

Edit: I emailed Mojo earlier to ask if they can put me a couple of sets of pups on their manufacturing list for May, see what they say

OK. Since "keester" means a**,changing the first name doesn't do much to stop the zingers. Kinda like the license plate previously mentioned. Then Chucky's suggestion of Richard w/ the nickname being"Dick"sorta says it.

Totally different, The Lollars are much smoother, more even sounding through out the tonal spectrum. They can go from grind to big and fat. They are a bit in the hi-fi realm, but i eq that out.
The ChinaBuckers are inherently aggressive. Like they've got a built in overdrive. They will always have that inherent tone, where as the Lollars can be shaped to sound like anything.

Cool, thanks for that... Sounds like a pair of chinabuckers could be somewhere in the horizon, then... :)

No insult intended, believe me. In the south (confederate states), many still profoundly resent the north (union states), a state of mind I'm happy not to observe out here on the west coast, but it is still all the United States nevertheless.
You may be surprised to know that some of the Indian Nations (Seminoles, Ohlones and others) never signed treaties with the US Federal Govt. and are considered "Nations within a Nation"..

That last part kinda reminds me of stories about the Tottenham Three, Guildfor Four and Birmingham Six that were all imprisoned for many years and later found innocent... :thumbsdown:

Just thinking, if I plug the bass directly into the mic socket on my laptop and use Windows sound recorder to capture the sound out of my pups, could someone else say do the same thing who has Lulls etc on their PC to use as an accurate comparison?
Click to expand...
Yes! Then we can take that file and run it through an Audio Precision Analyzer (don't own one but may be able to borrow one) and plot the responses and compare. Could be very cool..

:thumbsup: Personally, i really like them. So much so, i'm leaving the tone control in the bass. Seems to be very effective with those pick ups.

I am not unhappy with Chinabuckers, but I like the TB+ pickups in my 2001 better. Whatever the stock Gibson pickups were in the 1991 before Chinabuckers weren't the same as the stock 2001 pickups. One day fairly soon, I want to put either a set of Thunderbucker 63 pickups in the 1991 or a set of Lollars. Duke o' Mark's comments about the Lollars being about halfway between 63s and 66s, and now your comments about their being smoother have me thinking about Lollars pretty hard. I'm still leaning toward Thunderbuckers, just because, but that's for now. Who knows what will happen when the time comes.

Again..? Doesn't this question come up, like every 100 pages or so?

We really should have some kinda sticky at the beginning of this thread which covers all the regularly reoccurring questions...

You can get them from Mono, Ritter, Crossrock, Rockbag, Gator, Thomann - The list is endless...
