[Gordon Thudmaster May]

[b]So the free bus pass turns up soon, but I can't understand alot of the 'speak' on BC ie, MIM etc! Us older muso's could do with a lesson in Neo Speak!!! [/b]
[b]Please help me out![/b]

MIM is made in Mexico as refering to Fender instruments.

That goes along with MIJ/CIJ Made In Japan/Crafted in Japan and MIA Made in America.

What else do you want to know?

PuPs = pickups

Also,
What is "bus pass"?
What is "muso"?
What is "neo speak"?


There is a sticky thread at the top of the "Introductions" forum, which explains everything.
