Anyone know what's going on with Bartolini? Have they ceased production? Still in business? Every retailer is out of stock (certain pickups and pre-amps) with no ETA! Frustrating!
I'd have a hard time believing that. It seems like everyone and their dog has or has had a bass with Barts in it
Lots of models in stock here: http://www.theperfectbass.com/explo...&W=STORE&P=N&S=1001081&U=1&SS=1&CR=Y&modify=0
Really slow! I had to cancel several orders due to such long wait times! While their may be a ton of basses with Bartolini pickups, the particular pickups I have been seeking are just not available! Specifically the Neck position MK5.
It has always been this way with Bartolini, as far as I can remember. Great products but constant backorders and lousy service. Their site is always late by a few years. They are worth the wait though.
I hear you. In the meantime, I put in Nordie Big Splits. While they sound great, I really wanted the Barts. I just couldn't wait any longer!
Ditto. You have to wait if you want them. Great business model for Bartolini as it has always been a seller's market for them.
I had some Bartolini questions and has similar frustration expressed here. I spoke to Gaurd at Roscoe and I have the Bartolini reps name and phone number if anyone needs it PM me. He lives in FL, his name is Tom...
Didn't want to have to mod the pickup route. I think the P2's fit in the same routing as the MK's. Maybe I'll check availability on those.
