The only problem with bone really is shaping it, if you want add a UST, such as Fishman its going to be a pain.

incorrect...bone sands down very easily with some fine grit sand paper, and a more consistent piece of bone or walrus saddle transfers sound better with a UST...

No, you're wrong about all of it, bbat. And you obviously do not have knowledgable friends. I was told, I was told, I was told. Fine, I was told the moon was made out of giraffe leather, that's what my knowledgable buddyfriend told me! Next time do your research. Call up Martin and ask why they put such crappy inconsistent bone needing big setups in every 18 series and above. While you're at it ask Larrivee, Santa Cruz, Collings, Goodall and a whole pile of others. Obviously theu must know something your knowledgable people dont about the use of bone and other natural materials for saddles. Either that or they are all plain stupid.

He might have been rude but he's right about the use of bone in high end guitars.

That's fine, but there was definitely a nicer way to go about sharing that information. On his first post he comes off as a complete dick.

He does come off as a dick on his first post, cause when you spew shit out of your mouth, you probably are use to the dick.

Next time, do some research and avoid the "word of mouth I'm right your wrong" attitude...

dick...

Yes, I did come off as a dick. I apologize. But I do not apologize for calling into question statements that have the factual basis, or grossly resemble what falls out of a bull's turd-shooter on an hourly basis. But hell..dont take my word for it b-blat, call Bob fucking Taylor and ask him. Call James Goodall. Call that Bob Collosi guy that makes saddles. I'll bet they will staunchly disagree with the poo that just tumbled out of your pie-hole. ...dick.

No you don't. I'm not a luthier, and don't claim to be. I also have never claimed to be a fountain of information, and in fact in the first sentence of my post clarified that my information might be incorrect given the fact that I am neither a luthier nor God. You, however, seem to feel that you are Him.

u suck, baldalaura is right....u make no sense and now your eating crow. think before u post, or at least learn to "speak" guitar....

thanks for backing me up baldalaura

Brock · Unread post by **Brock** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 11:36 pm

I make no sense in saying that I'm not a luthier and thusly defer to what luthiers have told me about guitars, where as both of you have a superiority complex? I've never said, "I'm right about everything, bow down to me." I'm okay with being wrong a few times.

I can't say the same for you. I also can't say that your nor baldalaura's attitude is what we'd like around these forums. There's definitely a way to correct someone without degenerating to the schoolyard insults that both of you have hurled.

Oh, I almost forgot, thanks for clarifying that I suck.

wtf?

do you not speak english or something? he makes perfect sense. Brock brings more than his share to the table of informaiont. Brock is one of more humble guys on the boards. He clarifies he might be wrong on anything he has doubts on. You on the other end, along with baldalaura, don't make sense. You guys are just dumbasses. Do the world a favor and just end your lives
