The bottom of my BJS bar is covered with a sticker. I don't like the way that sticker looks or feels. So I removed it, filled the hole with a SS screw which added 0.1 oz, and then epoxied it with Br ...

A long DC cable may pick up "motor boating" noise that makes a recognizable blub blub blub.

So Ric is suing because Jason is using a horseshoe magnet? Rolling Eyes

Sweet! Mitsuo is a mechanical genius. I'm very happy with the way my Excel plays and sounds. Furthermore, Excels require little maintenance, e.g., no need to oil the changer or cross shafts.

The little Ernie Ball logo disk at the bottom of the bar fell off making the end uncomfortable. Since it revealed a hole about 1 1/2" deep I decided to fill it with a 1/4-20 SS bolt. The bolt hea ...

Or, should I take this thing back, save $10 and get one on-line?
Yes! 7/8" is preferable to 3/4" because bigger, heavier bars sound better. Also, I prefer steel over stainless steel. The B ...
