But...what about his gorgeous wife helping with orders, the phone, etc.?? Just so disappointing
Tell me about it. I've been waiting years to receive the pickup I paid for. He's promised many of us on several different occasions.
This last time was a bit of salt in the wound, as several people actually received something.
It's fine for someone to decide they don't want to do this anymore, but they should have the decency to fulfill open orders. Of course, it would also be nice if they sold the business to someone who wanted to keep it going. I know Jimmy at Landing has been trying to make that happen for sometime.
I'm still hoping Fred will pop back in here long enough to see my posts, and finally send me the pickup I paid for so long ago.

Interestingly enough, Fred started posting again just a few days after I posted up a picture of a Bi Sonic replica I was working on (last October). He was very interested and even offered to help if I needed any. Sad to say I pm'd him but never heard anything back.

That's verrrry Phil Lesh. Nice

Yes indeed, only it's long scale. And the body is not mahogny but maple or alder ( not sure which one). And the pickups are DS and not bisonics. Still verrry much Lesh.

Thought I'd post this.
I recieved this pickup about 2 years ago from Fred, and just finally put it in the bass it was meant for.
My Tractah (I'm in MA) is a Warmoth build. The alder body was finished in a "honey" tint Nitro by J. Miller. I gave the neck an oil/wax treatment and sprayed the headstock with vintage tint nitro.
The J's are Nordstrand NJ-4's custom made as a RWRP set both with bridge spacing.
