New versus old push pull?

[Bobby Bowman]

Mike,
I know that it can be done and I've set at a couple PP's over the years that had the splits. I didn't care for the way they felt. I should have looked at yours when I was over there. If I get to make a Super Jam or two this year, and you will allow me, I'd love to take a peek at yours.
Thanks,
BB

Hope you're happy with your choice Richard. Maybe "limitations" was the wrong word for me to use reagarding a p/p universal. Complexity and inconvenience might be more accurate. I could look at my first all-pull and immediately see how to make setup changes, and could do so in a matter of minutes. Making changes on the p/p requires much more carefull thinking, and usually some time consuming trial and error. It reminds me of a great line from the old Amos and Andy show.

Andy: Kingfish, how do you get good judgement?

Kingfish: Ohhh, Andy, good judgement comes from experience.

Andy: Well, how do you get experience?

Kingfish: Bad judgement.

Another problem with the p/p - the sustain is so much better, it forces you to get better at blocking.

Take the Emmons, harder to get and going up in price.
New GFI will be easy to get for a long time.
