So what you're saying is these manufacturers move production from countries like Japan to countries like Indonesia to help the Indonesian economy? And you think the guy in the video is being naive? I'd say he's not the only one. What you describe is a side effect of companies chasing the lowest cost of production. Plain and simple. As soon as it becomes cheaper to produce guitars to certain standards and schedules and in the required quantities elsewhere in the world, a corporation will move production because the bottom line profitability is all that matters to them. It would be nice to think they're moving production from country A to country B just to help out all the B population, but that is rose tinted viewing at best. I've seen it in every company I've ever worked for, current one especially. Asbo lootly These monster machines like Fender are simply not moving production to overseas because they're good guys They're chasing ever and ever cheaper ways of cutting costs, therefore making even more money. That new yacht the MD has his eye on has to be paid for

Cream ?

Its Jimi , not Jimmi. Can i have a star please , ta

A Finn Typr R Fretless 4 would make me seriously happy

Just looking at the individual bridge pieces, they're appallingly out of place, and not just that E string piece either. What a chancer

Oooo, if only it was an ACG Finn type R fretless 4 !!

What an excellent vid " what if the small luthiers prices are the norm, and all the big factories getting their axes made wherever, are too cheap " Quite right

It would be advantageous to post smaller file size photos - i'm on a good connection but they're taking way too long to load

That is stunning. Very clean

In the great scheme of things you've been a member for 5 mins here, and you're bored with Jaco threads. What are you, a lowly troll ?

Quite right. I nearly laughed too

Opinion, yes. Sort of means a reason for or against. Where was your opinion ? You just posted a big yawn. If you see a thread title that has no interest for you, move along. No one forced you here

And yet here you are

I noted many members in the past didnt bother with location. I guess that isn't going to change. Not sure what they were scared of . Being tracked down ?

Only ever had one pink torpedo up <------ nice swear filter We were setting up for a gig. Everyone had got to the point where it was time to make a noise / soundcheck I had nothing - zilch, zero, nowt, nada. Swore at the amp, checked fuse, checked guitar cable, borrowed a guitar cable, checked speaker cable, borrowed one off the landlord, Swapped amp outputs, ..this all took 30 mins and we were kicking off in another 30 seconds. I had to go direct to PA without a D.I. and no backline I was guessing most of the notes were ok, as i couldnt hear myself. I guess rehearsals really pay off ! Turned out it was a dodgy speakon socket on the cab. Amp detected a problem and shut down. Bar steward socket

Either / Or I play what's easiest at the time.

So we flip a coin ? Nice

Dammit. So my ruse didnt work

You have a seriously sh*te bass, as witnessed by me at many Fat Lils jams. You seriously need to get a damn good plank in your arse nal
