Yup, sacked for theft. Surely he should just weigh the cable in and retire properly.

Is that true?

Besides which, the aforementioned manufacturers do make quality instruments rather than cheap looking tat made out of balsa wood.

Have you ever played one?

Thats exactly what pisses me off.
If he was that worried he would have the designs protected. Then he could have done a John Hall and walked into NAMM with cease and desist letters and had the law to back him up. Even the organisers. Those instruments would not be allowed on U.S or European soil with the right protections.
The fact he didn't and played some sort of drama class instead makes me think he knows fine rightly whats going on.

Reckon those Chinese guys would make me a Simpsons bass?

Very good point, seems it's OK to rip off Fender as long as it's a Western country but as soon as the Chinese do it, it's a different story.
