Oh…well, heck, now feel like a total heel!

Love the sweepable mids on the MT-2. Death from above!

Loves me some vintage Coop. If you’re an over-40 rocker and your music collection doesn’t (AT LEAST) include, “Greatest Hits”, you should be viewed with suspicion. Can’t say I’m much of fan of his stuff with the Rambo guy, though…

I’ve used them on Strats. After repeated attempts, they don’t stay installed for long. Combined with a properly cut/lubricated nut, they can help a trem stay in tune. To my ear, they impart a bit of a, “sponginess”, to the tone that is not pleasing. If you have a particularly bright Strat you may like the effect. Don’t get me started on the TOM saddles, LOL. Personally, for vintage Strat trems I prefer Highwood saddles. They’re designed with a small string channel and hex screws that don’t dig into the palm. Combined with Gotoh staggered, locking tuners my EJ Strat rarely loses tuning. ETA: I see now that you have an American Std trem. Let us know how you like the stock saddles. IME they’ll be an improvement.

Saw his show at the Forum with Jason Bonham’s LZE opening. One of my Top 10 shows ever. It was ridiculous how much great music was bouncing off the walls that night. PF absolutely ripped, and even played a couple of Humble Pie songs.

Dang, that’s purty. Is that one of your resprays?

Nice bass! I liked the natural one w/maple fb that was for sale. An accurate straightedge is essential to setting up double-tr Rics. The hard part is balancing each rod to a good zero point. I use a fine-point Sharpie to mark the (tr) nuts to duplicate each adjustment so that the marks are in the same location. Interesting how Rickenbacker went with the Hipshot 4000-series bridge. The best upgrade you can get for any Ric bass.

Got that in my inbox, too. The tour plays Shoreline in Mountain View. Great triple bill, but I’ve seen them all multiple times and I H.A.T.E. seeing shows at Shoreline.

I’d buy one. I’d love an SLO to use thru my mixer at home.

Country Gent Players Edition?

How does one top Dio? You can’t, so you just scream your guts out, as much as possible.

That’s a smokin deal. Don’t be a fool and pass on it. Worth every cent.
