    Go easy on that stock nut, old son. Standard issue is bone! I thought mine was plastic when I first got it, but it turned out that the stock bridge was sucking so much tone that everything sounded 'plinky'. Swap out the bridge. Get your Jet set up sweetly. Afer that, it's all good!

    Cheers, Fender62custom! Ther's another Jet in the Hangar!

    You are going to install a sloid titanium Compton bridge, right?

    Check out the Social Groups tab (in the menu bar bove). Tara has a group called "Rockin' The Jets".

    Backatcha, Sarge.

    New products can not be sold anywhere until the authorities in that jurisdiction are satisfied that the product meets local requirements. This lab performed Compliance testing on electronic products that provided recognized Evidence of Conformity to a wide range of international standards. Now, Calgary no longer has an accredited test lab, so manufacturers will have to get their testing done in eastern Canada or in the U.S. That's going to add major travel costs to their testing budgets, which will in turn affect their roll-out schedules for new products.

    It's a damn shame all 'round.

    And I've gotta find a new job.
