G&L/BBE Question:
I can't get past this so I'll go there: 60 cycle hum, Static Electricity, EMI & RFI noise. What the H! I know the "classics" hummed a bit, but EVERY pro I've worked with had some type of work done on their gear. Personally, I'd pay extra for an instrument that came delivered with some of this done in-house. I also understand that these remedies can also take away sonically. HB's aside, the aluminum guard I got for my S-500 took away most and it is enough for me. BTW, it was the same exact type used on the C.L.F. Centennial ASAT and was in the actual batch, right Thumbs? G&L should offer those babies on at least a few models, like the originals (ASAT & S-500). What do you do to remedy the noise on the guitar/bass and rig?

Non-G&L Question
Cold climate folk: how you holdin' up? This is my non-G&L question because it is so cold here! In MN, we have laws regarding car idling, parking rules, etc. We have a lot of cold, but not too much snow so far this season. I hope that doesn't equate to a drought-like summer ahead...
* I'm heading to Cali in a couple days and won't miss this weather one bit!!!
Cheers,
Will
