retroman Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 If it's any help, Dave and the team at Electro Music are a great bunch. I'm sure they would do their best to help, and I'm also sure that there are several others on here who would vouch for them. I bought a set of Delano's for one of my P basses from there.

Dood Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Jon Shuker in Sheffield is a Delano distributor and because he one of the finest Luthiers out there (and designs his own preamps) - he really knows his pickups too.

He thought Thomann might sell them but on further investigation they don't. He orders his in big batches under some business agreement and they take 3 - 4 months to come through. He does not act as a distributer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a further €15 for shipping that didn't appear in the itemised bill making the pickup considerably more expensive than the actual bass it was going in to! That's against my principles so I've now cancelled the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soliloquy Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 You can order direct from Delano, just email them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Drop Robbie @ RIM basses an email or a PM on here. I Spec'd Delano's for my Marseer, he said no Probs and then had the exact ones I spec'd within 2 weeks so they can't be that hard to find. He obviously has a reliable contact!
