Guyker stuff is cheap Chinese-made parts, I'm pretty sure. How long did the trem last before wearing out?

Re: NPD: 8 Step Program

Yeah, it's annoying for an open box item advertised as never used to be missing things.

Seems like a fun pedal, though... sondz cool!

Re: Behringer JN-80

I have a JU-06 too and yeah, the 4 note polyphony is a drag. Would be interested in a bunch of Behringer synths but especially this one unless they ever come out with their VCS3 (which I'm thinking isn't coming now).

Re: Dual Expression Pedal

When I got that new wah pedal awhile back I didn't even bother putting it on my pedalboard, it's just off to the side. Seemed too much of a hassle to figure out a way to fix it to the board, as well as disassembling the board (for the second time in a month since I'd been hunting down a weird noise ...

Re: DOD the Badder Monkey

The original english translation of Planet of the Apes (the book, La Planète des singes) in the UK was "Monkey Planet" until after the film came out, because there is no French word for ape.

Looks like a cheeky Fender Custom Shop decal on the back of the headstock, not a Classic Vibe one which looks like this

Re: Strangz (strings for the g'itar)

I always try to use D’Addario strings because I use the Player’s points program to order more. I do have a lot of Gretsch Chet Atkins strings though, with a choice of plain or wound G strings. Can’t remember how I came into so many of those but I have sets for all my guitars on standby.

Re: Replacement Nut for MIJ Jazzmaster

The bottom should indeed be curved, as the channel in the fingerboard still has a radius of 7.25”.
At least that’s the way it’s been on all the Fender and AllParts Fender-licensed necks I’ve put a new nut in. Just be thankful it’s not a Jaguar, those can be annoying to replace. Just check the width ...

Anderton’s did a shoot-out of all the Klon clones they had and found that they all pretty much sound similar.
