tdpri.com? They don't let you swear in audio demos there.

He also started a new refin project immediately after the rob(og) fiasco.

He's such a charmer. I saw his amp is overheating, this filthy Fender clone he has.

JUSTICE.

I liked the justification "the Fender decal suits the refin better" or something like that.

Yeah I just saw your reply. I never knew so many of you idiots posted there.

I can't stand the constant "It's so hot!

" posts.

From the thread James linked it looks like they are separate poles.

What's the freaking point though?

There are some good threads there. I joined when I got my Bassman I think and I learnt a lot from one poster there. A few guys have interesting pedal collections and make interesting threads about them.

There are a few things that are terrible about the place though
- Ban happy
- The 'acceptable taste' is extremley limited. Almost all amp posts are about large old Fender combos. Humbuckers are a no go unless they're WR types
-

- Most of the guys there are idiots.

I remember you linking me to that thread and I was definitely impressed by the help and knowledge that guy displayed. It's nowhere near enough the punt I would need to post there though, I would be rooted out like a cat, most of their posters annoy the tits off me.

I go there perhaps every few days and I certainly don't open most threads. On the whole it's fairly dull, but the odd gem makes it worthwhile having an account there.

We have come up with a

That all sounds very manufacturer like to me.
I really tried hard not to post in this thread as I don't like causing any upset around here...but this is utterly ridiculous and I really think this guy is ripping people off if they fall for this ultimate tone mojo hoohaa.
First off if you want to make an exact copy then do so, try using the right CuNiFe magnets for a start. adjustment screws that you can not adjust? come on!!
I hope that people realise that what is happening is this guy is putting a reasonable quality humbucker under your cover..and then charging the earth for it. You could do that yourself and probably not ruin the chrome like he says SOMETIMES happens.
Again apologies to offset for bringing this up, but I do so in the hope that people don't send this guy money because they want that ultimate tone! I can't sit and watch people try and rip others off in what is a very strong community.
I'm sure people here are smart enough anyway, but I had to voice my opinions.

If you get banned for this...They will pay dearly.

He posted it with the username "shortscale". I wouldn't be surprised if that was enough for the ban button to get clicked.

I bet whoever it was who denied me couldn't even work out why they were offended by it.

There'll be some crying and accusations of us being childish there soon I bets. Sigh. It's shite, Fullerplast is sound, but the rest of their posters are fucking dolts.

Thetaman (can't find the actual theta symbol on the keyboard) is a god amongst men, we should bung him an invite over here. Odd place, offsetguitars; there are some nice people there, but it can be terribly corksnifffery and clique-y, which is ironically what caused the schism from the FDP in the first place. On the other hand, I like TDPRI a lot, but wasn't aware of their rules regarding sailor talk in demos.

Oh, and Hurb, I reckon that was a pretty darn diplomatic post of yours, for what it's worth.
