Q-Metal Replacement Bridge Pins- Depleted Uranium (DU) Bridge pins increase sustain!

Many people change out their bridge pins over time in effort to find their individual tone. Couple that quest to increase string sustain, string life, and greater volume one can easily understand that epic TONE is an elusive and often misunderstood phenomenon. TUSQ is one of the factory favorites because of its availability, cost, and consistent tone. Other materials used include brass, fossilized bone, tusk, and simple plastic.
However, now with the aid of technology we can now buy depleted uranium bridge pins. Q-Pins as they are called offer superior tone because they are heavier than brass and lead pins. In addition, they glow in the dark and therefore you will stand out on the stage - Want to get noticed for your playing? Well, why not be noticed for your choice of equipment! Show your superior knowledge of showmanship, catch the eye of that wall flower in the hundredth row. Yes, indeed these pins are also available as string pins and projectiles. These babies pack a punch and will drop a Bull Elephant at 30 paces. With this string anchor and defense mechanism you can virtually lay off your security department and save overhead.
Heavy - Q-metal P-Pin is the projectile version of this product. With a density of 19.1cm/3 these pins are 68.4% denser than lead and have a half life of 4.468 billion years. You are buying these pins not only as a tone investment but a inheritance.
Some worry about Q-Pins carcinogenic long term effect on humans - Poppy cock! The WHO stated, "In aggregate then human epidemiological evidence is consistent with in risk of birth defects in offspring of persons exposed to DU." Yeah, they also wrote, "Multiple studies using cultured cells and laboratory rodents suggest the possibility of leukemogenic, genetic, reproductive, and neurological effect from chronic exposure." In actuality, these pins are no more dangerous than a visit to the Grand Canyon during the rainy season.
These pins are becoming easier to find and will be available soon in a store near you!

Gary Moore RIP

Gary Moore passed away this past weekend while on holiday in Spain. As usual, mainstream media is greedy and there were unsubstantiated reports speculating on unnatural cause of death.

Gary had a heart attack and for many, the first one is the last one.

A emotional player who never failed to inspire us all to play well - to the best of our capabilities!

We miss you Gary but you are jamming with the best. Say hello to Les for us all!
