What experience would that be? Have you actually seen the buttons? Regardless of the base material, poorly applied chrome plating will chip or flake. Properly applied plating will not. The buttons fall into the second category.

Andy, I wouldnt mind reviewing this product for you. I need one button for a jukebox Im working on. (Dont need the whole CP set)
I went to the site and started to go ahead and buy one.
Button + led was approx 5 dollars, but the shipping is 14 dollars..
Ouch..

That's pretty rough guys - I hope we get real reviews, not just candy coated love it reviews. Almost any product has flaws, or at the very least pros and cons. I personally would like to get a real impression, not just a "paid" endorsement. Longevity should definitely be a factor in a review. I would like to see someone do a review, and then update us 6 months and a year later. How does the product perform when new? After a year? Are these buttons "route" grade? Would you put them in a cab and trust them on location? That may never happen, but personally I would prefer industrial strength products. Sure they're pretty new, but how do they stand up to say a 5 year playing the cab? (Read button masher) That can most definitely happen to all our machines. And I for one would like to see someone try scratching the plating off with say a fingernail just to see if it does come off easily. Again, longevity should be tested, not just what it does when brand new...

Fair nuff.  But there is a huge difference between someone doing what you ask and someone spewing his normal b.s. before he's even tried the product.  Almost every vendor here has quality products (MattP being an exception).  Despite their issues, even Slikstik had quality products just poor customer service.  I agree, bring on an unbiased review.

I doubt there is a person on these boards who would believe this particular user's experience with cheap toys over the normal quality products that Andy (or Randy, Oscar etc) has consistently delivered over the years.  It really rankles me that he is up to his typical crap.

Sorry efjayel.... just being honest without any tact.  Should be welcome to you eh?   :P
