Take a look at Mark's recently posted trains. They're MADE in CHINA. The Chinese can provide whatever level of quality you're willing to pay for.

Oh, I know that - it's why it's so annoying they flood the market with their cheap crap. It sort of dilutes ones impression of what they are capable of producing. But as long as consumers keep buying their cheap crap - they'll keep producing it.

I put nicer knobs (ahem) on the Damnation pedal. They're actually metal.

nice knobs

Thanks for the info. I have a very nice Foundation with the original, highly sought after knobs. They tend to loosen with use and fall off. I want to swap them for safekeeping as I play it a lot and don’t want to inadvertently lose one.

Do yours not have set screws? These do, with different shaft size options. 1/4" in this case.

No particular reason, just thought it amusing:

For Sale - 2005 USA Gibson Thunderbird Studio 4

 

[BklynKen]

Yes. Thanks!

Maybe you just need some Loctite?

Pretty reasonable.

Pretty reasonable.

Plus it comes with 2 terabyte ceramic pickups! Them's big trucks, but not so sure how they'll hold up in a fender bender.

Aw, carp. I missed that there was an ahem in the one that was in response to. Never mind.

 

[MCF]

Yes, I’ve considered that. I want to keep them pristine. Hence just put them away for unless I want to show it off. It’s a really nice bass with an incredible neck. And I like the different, kinda like a j, kinda not, depending on settings.

I could ask this in gen pop, but I trust you guys more. Why do 50-105 strings seem to generally be called "Regular" or "Medium", where 45-105 are "Medium-Light" and such? I would have thought an even 45-65-85-105 would be more, well, even, than something like 50-70-85-105.
