I see.. yes.. It's a name that ='s a word that might mean something else.

Who was the 'marketing genius' that named that company?

And Calvin, all this for a Bridge? Why not just take the bass to a good shop and get a bridge made? What was wrong with the old bridge? This was the new bass you had made for you? Maybe that maker can send you or sell you a bridge blank. Have you asked him?

Probably the guy who gave his company the family name, kind of like someone else we know.

Sounds funny but Ken's server doesn't allow the German company's name, known with the D,I,C,K letters to appear on screen and puts these ***** instead of it. This company represents an excellent source for materials in Europe and worldwide. If a buyer can provide them with a VAT number valid in EU, the buyer gains dealer status and doesn't pay the German VAT in his order.
So, no secret at all, only a less than clever naming of a very good and reputable company!
Mike
