Kinman and Lindy Fralin both make hum canceling P90s - I believe the Kinmans sound better but are eye-wateringly expensive

Oh wow, same -- though that set of features at that price almost makes me worry there must be some weak spots. I always find myself looking at Reverends in vaguely similar territory, but they only ever do Bigsby or Wilkinson vibratos, and I've come to really depend on the JM/Jag one.

I just had a dream Chrissie Hynde came to my house and I got to show her my Telecasters, she was so down to earth and friendly too.

i'd had guitars with the classic fender style or a bigsby but not a jazzmaster trem until i got one installed in a guitar a couple years ago and it was definitely like a "oh yeah the porridge is just right" moment for me

The only bummer is thinline offsets (usually?) don't have contoured bodies. I've just come to really want that. I can tolerate a thick slab of Les Paul. But like a Tele for example? Definitely prefer something shaped.
A nice offset trem is really really sweet.

this guy does some of the best pedal videos out there, always has unique approaches to things that you've maybe not thought about before and a fun way of presenting stuff too...

Had my Greco P-bass up on Reverb for a couple of months, but then I made the mistake of playing it again and realising it's better than I remembered.So I might have to keep it now. The pickup doesn't sound especially impressive on its own, but it sits in a mix quite nicely. So it's useful as a recording tool.I installed some lightweight tuners and that made a big difference. It was too heavy before but now it's manageable. You wouldn't think 170 grams less would make a difference, but I guess it's more about the balance than the overall weight.

Dirt cheap Dolamo overdrive from eBay, YES. Beautifully cranked on my Tele, wide range of tones, no background noise, goes from a bit burred to snarly in very good ways. $A31 delivered so probably $US 20?

Apparently it’s a Timmy clone. Nice quality for no money, and I can dial in the sounds I want to hear very easily.

following my acquisition of a shijie strat a couple of months ago, i've continued my quest to acquire high-quality knockoffs of established design classics with this mij tokai love rock, which arrived earlier in the week

went to put a fresh set of strings on the love rock and the nut fell clean out of the fretboard, having apparently only been held on by the tension of the strings
ffs

That’s common enough and not a major issue. All you need is a dab of superglue / krazy glue to tack in in place, make sure it’s snug to the end of the fretboard and the edges of the neck, then hold it down firmly for a few secs while the glue sets. Only a small amount of glue, less than you may think, and doesn’t need to cover the surfaces completely.
