Even then, carriers have a business model also, and if they have to pay more for fuel, and road use taxes,you can bet they are going to pass that along as well so that their minimal profit margin remains in tact. I say this as I was transportation dispatcher for 17 years and a terminal manager...

Mojotone is working on a side by side vertical coil version. I am very much liking the EMG 58 interpretation. P90 voicing in an active, noise cancelling with more lower and higher eq range. The perfect bridge between traditional and higher gain tones in one pickup. If more gain is needed, a...
