[/quote] Cheers for that, i did want to use them, but est delivery was 1 week, how was delivery for you?

i usually get them from Strings Direct but they have been out of stock for months now.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1467330064' post='3082958'] I've seen 45-125's around. They generally sell faster than the 130's so most people either don't stock the 130 or just order in small numbers [/quote] Cheers, just founds some 125's at Thomann

Anyone else having hassle finding 5 string DR Nickel Lo-Riders (NMH5-130) Seems to me there out of stock everywhere.

Great thread! Happy to help anyone with setups, soldering, repairs and a cup of tea in Argyll.

The sources I've located so far seem very expensive - but maybe I'm looking at the wrong stuff? What is the correct name, as there appear to be several? Like the example above, I am hoping to remedy a significant earth buzz on a Jazz bass.

I thought ACG had a USP with an East Pre (Unique Selling Point - marketing jargon) - the pre I refer to is the cool filter based "[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]ACG DFM pre-amp[/font][/size]" Read all aboot it here: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/basses/electronics/"]http://www.acguitars...es/electronics/[/url] Here's a sweet looking Uber: [/quote] Cant buy these though, only available on new basses from ACG.

Thanks for all the replies, lots to think about. The flat response j-retro still seems very tempting.
