Two that I bought today have indentical edge tapes. I suspect other details will be similar, including the sound.

Never used one, but they look good despite being cheap and quick. Looks to me like the string would break easily over the sharp edge of the hole. Is this a problem? Thanks.

Hartke 20 watt bass amp. $15.00 thrift shop find. Needs a new jack, easy repair. Good, loud practice amp, step up from my flaky homemade 386N chip amp. Should be a great match for a 4-pole magnetic bass pup. Support Goodwill, best house of bargains…
