i kinda really want to get a darkstar for my italia mondial.. but thats $200, and i need to save up money for two trips to montreal, one skiing trip, and a weeks vacation in california  not to mention $70 for pyramid flats!

I have one in a P bass and it sounds fantastic.

I was lucky enough to grab this bass off ebay a few years ago. It's a Coronado IV with the original Hagstrom pickups. Guild also used them early on in their very desirable M-85 basses. These pickups sound huge.

Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis.
Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion.
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?
Anyway, many people swear by them as a vintage replacement pickup.

This is my new favorite bass, largely because of the Darkstars. |
