Hips, every bar is a sports bar now. 360 degrees of flat screen TVs, sometimes 3 games going on at once.
Live music aint shit in 2019.

Just so you know.
I was comparing flush cutters. In this case to cut cheap, harbor freight zip ties.
Xuron flush cutter $8. - had to apply a little pressure but a clean cut. Cut off went flying. Feels a little cheap. Spring open.
Not a real spring. Little metal strip in the handle. Needs a little help to open wide.
Hakko flush cutter. $5 - again needed a little pressure to cut. Clean. Cut off went flying. Better feel than the Xuron. Metal strip 'spring' in the handle. Pops open wider than the xuron.
Harbor freight $4. (I got it for $2) - easy cut. Cut off dropped dead down, didn't fly off into the room and get lost for someone to step on later. Real spring easy open. Wide. Feels a little better than the xuron.
I wouldn't use any of them as a string cutter, don't think they would last but they aren't meant to be anyway. They're all soft gauge micro wire cutters. Good for pickup or electronics surgery.

By the way, all three left stress marks at the cut line. Cheap plastic ties I know but something to consider if you're cutting something that shows.
Get a good (God hand or valtcan) sprue cutter / nipper for very small fine detail cuts like in custom pickguards or soft plastic around pickups.

I played 3 acoustic basses yesterday. For a little while. Not simultaneously.
they have some good stuff, valtcan, cant find the other one here, thanks baba
These will "never" go dull, you could cut smaller nails with one of these. But not cheap. Little chunkier than the sprue cutters. I can personally endorse via ownership
Great write-up @Strings. Custom pickguards - ugg.

In fairness, after doing some checking, I think the pair of Xuron flush cutters I tested might have been knock-offs. So disregard my review for them.
Not sure who, but I guess they'll counterfeit anything these days.

I just got back my Hartke 3500 that was on long loan to a friend. Cheap bastard just returned it in a gator case with my 115 cab.
I don't remember a gator case.
Maybe he's not completely cheap.

That series of Hartke amps is one of the greatest series ever produced. I love my 7000.
All the knobs and sliders are intact. Anyone that knows hartke knows these things fall off if you fart too close. I'll fire it up later to see if the tube still lives.
Well now I have a little project today. Finding a spot to park this rig.
I think it looks just great in the living room.

Put it in the bedroom of your kid who pays the least amount of rent. That'll send a message!
Well it sounds good. I'll need to do some dialing in. He had it set kinda bright and brittle. I suspect the Fucker might have been playing ... Gasp ... A guitar through it!!!

That's pretty much the easiest parametric in the world. I like the bass pot somewhere near one and the treble at 12. Your model doesn't have a crossover it's mono so that doesn't come into play and then you could always do the reverse if you want some mid bump.
