Hmmmm. I really only bought them because I knew they'd look good on my bass. The JAE connection was also an impetus to buy them. He was so anal about his equipment you just knew that what he used had to be good (Thunderfingers Approved!). I originally bought one set, but then I went back to the guy I bought 'em off of on EBAy and cleaned-out his stock...just in-case they were good. They're hard to come by here, so I made an impulse buy and took a gamble. I assumed the plating wouldn't hold-up during extended playing...this was never a consideration for John as he had his axes restrung daily...and we all know expense was of little consequence for the OX, LOL!
