You assume I don't hold the patent?
You assume it's not licensed to Big Bend?
You assume I'm not getting filthy rich off of this idea? |

I would like to be a "Paid Endorser" of this product.
Might help boost sales...... Well maybe not. |

Just another dark, barefoot, hairy man toiling in the hot Florida sun, probably working on a mat in the dirt, just to produce a few, cheap knock off string tubes. There ought to be a law..... |

Darkbar is forgetting that when he installed the string tubes he did the internal reflective paint job on the bowl - that's what makes the real difference to the sound.
I'm meeting serge (Country Artist) for lunch today - I'm hoping he's brought me a can of the paint for my ute. |

You may be right. It seems to give me a very natural sounding reverb when played unplugged. |

| The white's only good if the bass is too heavy, since the white reflects the high freqs better. Red is better for mid enhancement and blue to pump up the bass, especially in SSBs. |

Location: closely held secret | True. I found the white mellowed out the 1581 nicely. Blue was overkill with the deep bowl. Might try Red on the longneck to bring out the mids. |

Nobody tells me anything. Couple years ago. Try to pay attention. |

I never saw the results of that. Maybe they were overcome by the fumes.
I'm in the process of trying powdercoating. PAF. |
