The Delano site lists these locations:

[i]1. Delano Pickup Systems (DISTRIBUTION)
Surmannskamp 7 · 45661 Recklinghausen · Phone: +49 (0)2361-653215 · www.delano.de

2. Electro Music
Doncaster · Phone: 01302-369999 · contact: Dave Ryan · www.electromusic.co.uk

3. The Bass Gallery
London · Phone: 020-72675458 · contact: Alex Carter · www.thebassgallery.com

4. Route 66
Stoke-On-Trent · Phone: 01782-286217 · contact: Don Clayton[/i]

The top one does not actually sell them, the second one only has 3 models and doesn't include the one I want. the third has no info concerning Delano on their site and the fourth doesn't have a site.

Anybody know how to order them?

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. [url="http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk"]http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk[/url]

Well I rang John and apparently there is nowhere you can buy Delano pickups in the UK... which seem amazing. :)

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.

Why not simply buy them direct from Delano? That's what I did.

Ah, I see. Thank you, I must have misunderstood him when we last chatted about them. Apologies for sending you down a dead end!

Apologies, I have just looked at my email and confirmed I was was talking sh*t :)

I actually got them from here after deciding what I wanted on the Delano site. [url="http://www.bass-parts.com/epages/61038859.sf/en_GB/?ViewObjectID=86333976"]http://www.bass-parts.com/epages/61038859....jectID=86333976[/url]

The service was excellent and the price seemed reasonable.

It was too expensive in the end. 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. :)
