Same here. Already parsed out the gauges from D'addario since they have string tension calculator on their site now, but I still have some backup and partial sets. If I hear he's back Id happily restock, especially for my 8 string like you say, but i also dont mind spending less per set right...

Sent an email last week to cancel and refund the order from November and received no response or credit so I contacted my bank to dispute the charges. Bummer. Was a good run 10 year run while it lasted.

Hows the Shipping time? I see you're in Ontario which is close to where i am in NY. Cost with shipping looks like it equals Kaliums' cost. I missed their custom string page when initially checking their site. Thank you. They look like a good option.

Man, October is a long wait and backlog. The lack of phone response is disconcerting. Never experienced this with him in the past 10 years. 1st time considering disputing the charges with my bank. Its not like hes answering to grant a refund and if he did my response would be to just get the...

Ive never had a bad conversation with him over all the years. Sometimes just talking shop. Always quick to address an issue and express appreciation for my patience since I know hes on his own. Never a problem to add to an order after the fact by combining orders and refunding duplicate...

Anybody have any info on Skip/Kalium as of late? Been calling every other day for 2 weeks and no answer regarding an order on 11/22 which hasnt been the norm. Usually he answers when i check on delayed orders but this is the first time ive ever been concerned both for his sake and for the sake...

Ah perfect, that makes sense. Helps distribute the pressure more evenly. Thanks again Mr Johnson!

Thank you, good point. Ill check that when estimating the TOW channels' depth. How far from the end of the neck should the truss rods extend? DA hot rods from SM would be about 3/4" from the end, and LMIs longest stock would be 1". Not sure if i should go custom length to be safe, or if...

Does it matter if the truss rods are parallel to each other or the neck/fingerboard sides?

Awesome, thanks so much Bruce for setting me straight. Im looking forward to trying those backstraps. Also happy to know 5 is a good base so i can decide on the aesthetic strips or not. I have a lot data on 6 string basses but the extra size makes me question my judgement and i have a tendency...

Thank you for the info you share. Do you still epoxy the CF TOW strands under the 2 truss rods, or do you just keep the single stripe down the middle between the 2 rods? Also curious if you increase the laminates? Planning an 8 string build (F#-F) now. Considered a 7pc laminate neck plus CF...
