Well, look what came today and took less than a 1/2 hour to swap out. I'm amazed at the amount of sustain it added.

And what do you know. Silks behind the saddles.

And what do you know. Silks behind the saddles.

At first I thought you were talkin' old-school bicycles (silks=silk sew-up tires, and behind the saddle=strapped under the saddle as a spare. Bicycles on the brain!

 

[D.M.N.]

Been off the board a bit, keeping busy. Made progress on the Bach Bird, finished spraying the clear coats, so now it's just a waiting game for the nitro to dry. In the meantime I've started up my pedal building hobby, figured it'd give me something to do during quarantine:

Never had sustain issues. But do like the Hipshot on the '06. Great bridge that's well worth the upgrade.

your pedals come with a box?*


* I miss the box thread.

 

[PillO]

The clear answer to your dilemma is, of course, to get both!
Help out our economy twice as much!

You've worked out the rhythm of this place...

Judging by the colour of the silks and the ball ends, I'm guessing Chromes (not the finger eating Cobalt Flats)

Think I might have missed the box thread?

Decisions, decisions. The Mesa tt800 vs. the GK Fusion. Friendly rivals making great amps. Still in California.

GK........

 

[Engle]

Is the Fusion worth the extra coin?

 

[Engle]

Aren’t old white basses usually whiter under the pickguard? It’s like the plastic off-gassed and stained the finish

Look at you! Spending those scheckles! Looks great!

Plus you get side-to-side adjustability in the saddles. Can we see a wider shot?

That might be the best picture Mike has ever taken... did you upgrade the cellphone, Mike?

 

[Larry V]

The people who buy high end bikes upgrade often and sell perfectly good bikes for practically nothing just to offload them.

For sure.

When my oldest son was ready for a full-squisher, I found him a Specialized XC Comp in amazing condition dressed up in full XT components with hydraulic disc brakes. If you try to build this bike, it would run you somewhere around $2,500 or maybe more. I paid $400 for it and felt like I was stealing it. The wheelset alone would cost more than $400.

I'm guessing he upgraded to the latest state of the art burner flip phone.
