Just thought I'd chime in on the oldest "no reply" thread I could find in this section.
Interestingly, the link is now for Fender bluetooth speakers =0

I use the genuine Fender ones for correct tone.

Accept no substitute. Besides which I'm teetotal.

Do they come in pastel colours?

Legionreturns

I hope they do a relic version

That might explain why I'm getting loss of tone. After 10 bottles of Grolsch things just seemed to sound a bit squiffy.

Yeah, what happened to him? Anyone friends on other platforms?

I've got a bunch of these spare.
Not sure how many but I also have 2 pairs of black one from heistercamp as they send a pair out with each strap you buy and I bought 2.
I'll count up what I've got when I get home later and post here.
I'm happy to send them FOC if anyone needs them.

I bought my mate 2 bottles of grolsch the other week as I hate beer but needed the washers. I still need another 3 or 4 pairs, he's going to love me

Edit: actually seems I could flutter my eye lashes at @Alnico as an alternative

I stumbled upon him on Facebook, yesterday, coincidentally..

Lol...

There's one set of black heistercamp ones I know because the strap for my Ltd only arrived yesterday and they're still on top of my amp.
If you want them you can have them. I'll put them in the post tomorrow. 

I know I've got some red ones in my spares box and I should have another pair of black ones from the first strap I bought.
I'll look when I get home. 

All my guitars use Dimarzio cliplok or Dunlop straplocks now so I won't use them.

I also like beer so I'm happy to buy Grolsch and donate the red ones from the bottles as and when I get them.
In that respect i will be only too happy to help.
Lol.

Please tell Ian we all miss him here and especially from me to say a massive hello.
Hope he's well.

I'd hate to force you to drink beer (horrible stuff lol) but you have got any spare I'd happily pay you for them man, I'm going through the process of giving all my guitars their own strap so I'm needing 3 or 4 pairs so all donations welcome

Sure, no problem but please don't try to pay me for them.
It's a stamp and they're bits of rubber.
I'll see what I've got later.
I'm sure I've got enough for that man.

I'm also sure I now really fancy some grolsch this weekend.

Win win.

Cheers mate much appreciated, the beer could be a welcome break from the coffee

That looks like English, sounds like English, but yet I cannot comprehend any of it.

MrsLostSon went to school with him & I'm friends with him on Facebook too.
He's doing really well & has emigrated to Spain.
I'll direct him to this thread.

I knew he'd gone and it's great to hear he's doing well.
Thanks for doing that.

Yay! Bring back Beagle!

Swing-top bottles came back into fashion in a big way over here a few years ago, so one has a big choice of beers to drink when it's time for new washers. Also, many colours are available. Red is common, but I've seen at least yellow, blue, green and black, so we can all have fun accessorising our instruments appropriately (or not!). There is, however, a disturbing trend toward gluing the washers onto the bottle stoppers, preventing their easy recycling. Shame on you, Uerige!
