Unique, compact locking tuners with height-adjustable posts!
Several companies make staggered-post-height locking tuners, but the heights aren't always ideal for every guitar. These particular tuners have a unique mechanism that lets you set the post heights manually via a hex key. Furthermore, the string locking function is integrated into the regular tuner operation - at most you manually turn the top 'cap' to clear a path for the string; then, as you tune up, the cap moves downward and locks the string against an internal pin - no need for a thumbwheel on the back, making the tuner more compact and lightweight.
This particular set has an offset mounting lug, and is an ideal replacement for many Fender Japan guitars that use the same tuner form factor.
The buttons are easily interchangeable. These are the small oval metal style, but larger metal buttons, 'keystone' shape Gibson types, and versions in pearloid are available (as well as ones from 3rd party suppliers).

Clear, articulate, powerful Jazz bridge pickup with hum rejection
Bartolini pickups offer clear, powerful, transparent and articulate sound. This particular model has two side-by-side coils (one per pair of strings) in a humbucking bar magnet configuration. This creates a wider magnetic sensing field and helps the pickup reject noise from stray signals, lights, radio emissions etc - which often plague regular single-coil Jazz pickups.
If you're building new or upgrading your Jazz or PJ bass, the 9J-L1 is a great choice for the bridge position!

Perfect arm for your Dell monitors
Solidly made of aluminum and steel components with some snap-on plastic covers, this arm lets you swing the monitor over a wide radius, and the mounting head allows for pivoting to portrait or landscape orientation. Stylish black finish. Snap-off panels conceal cable runs if you want to keep things neat and tidy.
Mounting head has a plate that snaps directly in to most compatible Dell monitors without screws, like the standard base. An adaptor plate is included for standard VESA-mount monitors as well as some Dell touchscreen models.
Only one minor caveat; the mount points for the base and elbow each have small headless hex screws built-in. While the sparse manual includes picture instructions not to tighten them so the bolt extends inwards into the shaft cylinder, it's not at all clear what these bolts do; are they supposed to lock it in place or restrain the swing angle? It's not a major thing, but I wish Dell had been clearer about this in the guide.
