Why is putting a Fender decal on a bass a) so common and b) allowed in the first place?
Wearing a watch with a dial replacement to read 'Rolex' gets you laughed out the building.
Would be interested to know why players do it.
D'Addario get a good rep:

Wow, the mythical Tayste 2000. All we need now is fellow OG, Toasted, and the thread is complete.
I'm currently using Pure Nickel strings which are a little brighter than flatwounds but very close.
