What a terrific brush! A 30mm Motherlode must feel amazing.

In theory I should love this Motherlode, but the glue bump is quite bulbous. It feels kind of weird when I splay the knot. It feels great when painting, but like a good splay.

That's a shame. I have a 26mm Motherlode in a brush. Such a unique knot. Does not have that issue. Where did you get yours?

I got it used from EldrormR

Is it literally every ready, or only most of them?

Good catch! To my knowledge, it's every Ready 400 with a 30mm Motherload in existence.
