At any rate, an interesting thread. I guess what fascinates me is how most people seem to have a strong opinion about adjusters. Its like the carrot cake of the bass world. You love it or you hate it.

Yes, even today most of the DB players in Europe do not use adjusters. Some times i heard mocking comments when i played abroad about my bridge. From the other hand the importance of the adjusters in fluctuating humidity climates is paramount.
