"Such a great purchase!"
"A beautiful guitar, but a white pickguard is bland and I really wanted the tortoise shell pickguard look. Installation was about as easy as you would expect for a guy who's never done any DIY customization like this on his guitar."
"On both occasions I received my order 2 days ahead of schedule and in perfect condition and they are branded Original Fender Parts , you are getting the real deal , but paying far less. http://www.strat-talk.com/forum/stratocaster-discussion-forum/338650-look-what-i-have-done-my-strat.html. I strongly suggest that you buy your gear from Amazon , I have had nothing but kindness and personal consideration from them , on rare occasions when I needed help."
"I had to drill a small hole in it to accommodate an extra pickup-selector button that came on my deluxe players strat, and this pickguard did not crack or scratch at all even with my shotty craftsmanship."
"Put this on a Mexican Strat I was modding with Custom 69's."
"However, I put it on a 2010 Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster and all holes line up except for the one at the bottom right next to the tone knob (see pics)."
"new pick guard form my Sunburst Fender Squirer, easy to install, holes lined up nicely."

"I love the more subtle vintage look of this color over the typical "stark white"."
"Installed it on my '04 Made in Indonesia Squier."
"Now if I could onnly find a pickguard to fit this Peavey Milestone II...."
"Even though my bass is a natural wood color , it is old and banged up and tortoise shell ,black or white didn't look good on it ."

"Beautiful neck."
"Fit and finish are great."
"Nice neck nitro finish would be 5 stars."
"No problem with this bass neck."
"Every Fender neck I've played has a dead spot on the "G" string around the sixth fret."
"The neck is very nice and the frets are nicely dressed ... two issues, though. The rosewood between the 13th and 14th frets was a bit rougher finish than the rest of the fret board."

"OEM, what more could you ask?"
"Fits perfect just what I was looking for."

Find Best Price at Amazon"(2) The volume is adequate, but less than some competitors of similar price range that I purchased, however the sound quality makes up the difference and is more than enough for a room, outside on the patio or at the beach. It should be noted that it DOES NOT distort at full volume where some other competitors do distort. I didn't ask for a replacement as I figured it was my fault for placing it too close the the edge, however they replaced it without question and went as far as to have the engineers look to redesign the base so this is never a problem again."
"My continued search for hidden gems has led me to Meidong’s latest Bluetooth speaker, the MD-2110. When I found out about Meidong’s latest Bluetooth speaker, I was very excited and inquired when it would be available for purchase in Amazon. Prior to my drive home, I secured the speaker on the dashboard of my vehicle and played some of my favorite tunes. However, as my ears got used to the noise inside the car (one of the windows and the sunroof were open) and I was able to focus on the music, I noticed something different. After about one hour, I finally reached home and began my standard test of Bluetooth speakers. I placed the speaker on a wooden table and played a track with a good amount of bass guitar. The next test involved a live recording of a basso vocalist accompanied by two acoustic guitars, a flute and a bassoon. I was so impressed with the sound reproduction of the MD-2110, I had to show it off to my brother in law who is a huge Elvis Presley fan. I played one of his favorite Elvis songs and his first reaction was, “I never heard some of those instruments before.” This was a testament to how well and accurate Meidong’s MD-2110 reproduced sound. My wife’s cousin who was able to hear some of the tracks also commented that the MD-2110 produced crystal clear sound, the best she’s ever heard and she’s used to the much more expensive Bluetooth speakers made by JBL. While It can easily fill a 20-feet by 20-feet room with quality sound, it’s not as loud as other Bluetooth speakers I have tested. Of all the Bluetooth speakers in my collection including ones from other manufacturers, Meidong’s MD-2110 is by far, the best in terms of sound reproduction. I had to look this up because I wondered how this company is able to produce high quality speakers for a fraction of name brand prices."
"Excellent speaker, the product was exactly as described and was priced great."
"It takes a couple hours to charge, once charged, I played music for more than two days straight until it needs to be charged again."
"Sound quality: This is as good as my UE Boom speaker and I am very surprised. Battery Life: I have used for a few days on and off but I have not re charged it yet. I highly recommend this speaker if you are on a budget but want to get good quality mobile speaker."
"This is my first bluetooth speaker so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it connected easily to my iPad and the only problem I had with it, initially, was that I couldn't figure out how to turn it off."
"Very pleased with the sound quality for the cost."
Best Bass Guitar Frets

"I chose the jumbo one for the reason that when it gets dented it can be rounded. many a time without haven't to change the fret wire.It's just a tiny bit softer than the stainless steel one.When I finish rounding the fret wire and after using. the required sand paper to finsh it up, I use brillo pads but before use I get rid of the soap by squeezing it out in water.You will get a great shine.Try it."
"Good solid fretwire ... very hard and a little tough to work with, but that comes with the territory."
"other frets in gold I had ever used were lower hardness, not enough.."
"These frets are excellent for refretting, as they seat firmly and snugly even in swollen slots, and by being harder, they polish slower and sustain longer."

Find Best Price at Amazon"If you note the inward shape toward the top--this is good if your knobs are close to playing area like on a Strat where your picking hand might hit. Be aware though that they didn't go on to my new American standard strat until I used a drill bit the size of the hole in the knob for a short spin to sort of ream out a tiny more space."
"The spines inside the knobs are plastic, so once you try to shove them onto a fine spine pot stem, you've essentially ruined the plastic spines in the knobs."
"The rubber o-rings are practical too, since discovering that I can quickly adjust my volume, by simply rolling it up or down by using only the outside edge of my little finger, without missing a beat....I'm so glad that I purchased this set, and would do so again!"
"By the way, when you take off your old crappy knobs, you'll probably want to watch a YouTube video on how to use a soft rag, slid underneath the old knob, to remove it."
"Truly lovin' these babies!"
"Awesome knobs."
"They look great."
"These don't fit ANY of my guitars!"

"Even though they use nice pieces of solid alder to make these, the body contour cutout on the backside is painted solid black. Hard to explain, but imagine you had made this body out of plywood and wanted to hide the obvious laminate where the body contour is (see photo I've attached for an idea of what I mean), you'd paint that area solid black and only make the "burst" where you couldn't see the laminated part, that's what it looks like... really a shame."

On top of that, its sheer mass (if you get the brass version, can't speak for aluminum) gives you a slightly warmer tone and an incredible amount of sustain. When installing, take a moment before you put the bridge on to figure out which ones you need before you try to torque it in and destroy the threads."
"I added this chrome bridge to my Epiphone T-Bird."
"Bolt it on and your ready to go."
"The part came with metric and english bolts and a tiny Allen wrench for the height adjustment screws."
"Superb bridge, easy install, very impressed."
"The bridge did not fit as manufactured so I took it to the machine shop at work and modified the mounting bolt holes."
"I love the EB-O short scale bass, but the stock three point bridge that is used on todays Epiphones is pretty sketchy at best."
"It is infinitely more adjustable and stays put during string changes, but it also sounds great. I put a little piece of rubber underneath each side of the bridge to compensate for the carved top of the Epiphone JC bass."

Find Best Price at Amazon"When I found out that COWIN, manufacturer of a couple of speakers I really like released the COWIN 6110, I immediately made the purchase and was very excited to find out how it compares to my other Bluetooth speakers. == Package Contents. 1 – Bluetooth Speaker. 1 – Charging Cable. 1 – Auxiliary Cable. 1 – Strap. 1 – User Guide. 1 – Thank You Card. 1 – Donation Notification Card. 1 – Thank You Letter. == Controls. The controls are conveniently located on the right side with the speaker facing the user. The Bluetooth button activates pairing mode (only needed when you have difficulty pairing the speaker with your device). From a sound quality reproduction perspective, this speaker performs about the same as Anker’s Soundcore 2. Calling the last number dialed on the phone paired with the speaker is accomplished by pressing and holding the play/pause button. This would normally be accomplished by double pressing the play/pause button with other speakers so keep this in mind. == Pros. • Good audio reproduction. • Rugged and durable. • Loud with excellent low frequency response (more bass). • Includes a carrying strap. • Good price. • COWIN donates 1 USD to UNICEF if the purchaser leaves a product review. == Cons. • None. == Conclusion. COWIN’s MD-6110 is a very good speaker for its price. Similar speakers to consider when looking at COWIN’s 6110 is Meidong’s MD-2110 and Anker’s Soundcore 2."
"I highly reccomend putting the beats pill down or the $250 JBL speakers down, and trying one of these out."
"The quality of sound is wonderful and the battery can be used a long time."
"Very satisfied with this purchasing, and I am willing to share my ideas with the people who want to but this perfect Bluetooth speaker.Firstly, this speaker's metal appearance is very durable, and it is very portable,very suitable for outdoor using, I always carry it when I was climbing，Convenient!"
"The COWIN 6110 is exactly what I was looking for: Excellent construction, great sound and its Bluetooth circuitry quickly connects with both of my Samsung tablets. UPDATE: Until I started using the COWIN 6110, I had assumed that having the sound play slightly behind a video was a characteristic inherent in all Bluetooth speakers. However, the Bluetooth audio coming from the COWIN 6110, connected to my Samsung Tab S2, is perfectly synchronized with the the video from both MP4 and streaming Internet sources."
"I love this portable Bluetooth speaker. It even sounds good at low volumes, allowing others at a table to carry on a conversation."
"I thought it would be louder (blast me out of the room) because the picture shows it being used in a car in the drink holder."
"Purchased as a gift for my guy after it was recommended to me by a friend - he needed a speaker for his phone."

"Included in the package were: 1 – Speaker with Amazon’s Alexa Integration. 1 – Charging Cable. 1 – Auxiliary Cable. 1 – User Guide. 1 – Registration Card. While DiDa was charging, I perused the user guide to familiarize myself with the device. The manual was easy to follow with lots of diagrams and photos for those who prefer visuals. The first track used was a live recording of a basso vocalist with two acoustic guitars, a flute and a clarinet. When playing songs with a lot of low frequencies, don’t turn the volume too high or DiDa will start to rattle. Tests were conducted using the COWIN app on an iPhone 7 Plus with equalizer enabled and set to acoustic. By touching the microphone button, I could ask DiDa just about anything including weather, latest news, information on my orders, famous people, synonyms, play songs and many others. Use cases with DiDa’s integration with Alexa are many including listening to news while preparing for work in the morning, quick information lookup when helping your child with homework, getting status on your Amazon orders, setting alarms, birthday greetings, listening to music and many many more. In Bluetooth mode, you use your Bluetooth-enabled device to play songs or make and receive phone calls. Similarly, pressing the Plus button increases the volume and holding it down plays the next track. DiDa is capable of so much more with Amazon’s Alexa integration and I’ve barely touched the surface. The endless capabilities and high quality sound from COWIN’s DiDa easily garners this device 5 out of 5 stars in this review."
"We use it on our front porch and back patio for music, news, weather, time, etc. If you aren't, you may need to call for minor help so you can do it in 5 minutes where trial and error could take you much longer. Instructions say many variables for volume used, distance from wifi source, etc."
"The button on the DiDa is fashioned more like a touchscreen and requires very little effort. The best thing I found out using my DiDa is that it appears in the Alexa App just as all of my other devices. I can send music to it and do everything with it that I can do with my Echo's, Dot's, Tap and Show through the App."
"Just received and and already have it up and running and playing Prime Music - very easy to set up - I am not expecting the speaker to be of the same quality of the ECHO or my Boses that I have paired to my 2 dots - but this was cheaper than a Tap with a coupon discount that I got the other day."

"I've got a wireless setup on stage (no tuner on the front of the stage) and have to drop half a step in the middle of a medley, and our set is mostly on rails with our lighting midi setup, so this was a miracle device for me."
"Over the past few months I have put one of these on each of my bass guitars, and now I don't have to worry if I brought the wrong bass--a quick flick of the thumb gives me that low note I need."
"Would have expected a nicer packaging for a 60 USD item - it has a photocopy as instructions."
"With my Ibanez SR 500 bass and a buddys same bass we both had to grind down a little so it doesn't rub on the G string tuner ."
"Takes a little time and effort getting used to (especially the fine tuning process), but the extended range of possibilities is VERY kool: From turning a 4-stringer into a 5-stringer or a 5-stringer into a 6-stringer, the micro-tuner on the Hipshot allows ALL sorts of alternate tunings - not just the dropped 8th, and if you wanna get REAL creative you can use Hipshots on ALL strings to extend the range EXPONENTIALLY!!!"
"Great for live shows because it eliminates the time it takes to tune and retune!"
"I add Hipshots to every bass I buy (dozens and dozens over the years)."
