SamIAm Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I am pulling together the bits for my next bass (Phoenix), I was hoping to use an EMG MM5TW or EMG 40TWX, but I'm struggling to find anywhere that can supply one. Any suggestions? Does anyone have experience of ordering directly on the US EMG website? S'manth x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige1968 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 No, but have bought on eBay from a US dealer: https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/donttellthewifeguitars All good, though exchange rate was marginally better at the time. If you do go for the EMG site, beware of this one, which isn’t it: https://www.emg-pickupsonline.co.uk (May possibly not be fraudulent but I’m certainly not gonna be trying it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verb Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I've purchased a couple of sets of EMG pickups from Dont Tell The Wife Guitars via ebay, the transactions went smoothly and the parcels cleared customs without charges. I also found if you watch an item you may get an offer of a small discount. Thomann have the 40TWX due in stock in a couple of weeks, but the MM5TW isn't due for several months.

benh Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I had the same issue @Smanth - ended up cancelling the order for a MM5TW after a 4 month wait and going for a 40CS instead, which I'm quite happy with 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve found a used set but we have yet to figure out a viable shipping approach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
