I do....I got this when I saw Greg Lake's on REVERB for sale.Don't keep looking at Tune basses.
You might find something you want.
Just wondering if the originator of this 'official' club is ever going to get around to issuing numbers again or if someone will step up and take over as the originator may no longer be around or simply lost interest? Just wondering.....
Well I did it. I took the plunge and bought this thing:

Now the waiting begins.

Now the waiting begins.
I've recently purchased the two Tunes. Bass Maniac 5 2012 and WB5 2014 fretless piezo.
Regret of both.
WB5...Piezo pickup under 3d string is dameged and only chance to replace it to contact Korea.
Well,i mailed them 3 times. No reply.
Bass maniac...Nice wood but pickups are real sh!t.
5th string is lower signal compare to others when turn balance to the neck P split.
When i play over bridge J pickup i can hear fingers knockin to the pickup cover like it would be a piezo...but it's not.
Well. Two useless pieces of nice wood.
And no freaking replies from customers support!
Please help! I need one piezo pickup to replace.
Tune team,go to Hell !!

Girl asked my name and location said hold on please played Immigrants Song and disconnected. !!

Ordering anything direct from Tune Hatsun S.Korea (WSC Music)is practically useless.
They only sell items in bulk.
If at all.
You're better off taking it to a local store repair.
Or you might try VSN Canada.
They sell Tune basses.They might have what you need.
They do post on this thread.(see Pg #48 post #949)

VSN Canada also replies. The Tune I bought above needs some cosmetic work and I knew that when I bought it. Mostly hardware replacement items that are beyond polishing and they have what I need, just didn't purchase anything yet. Give VSN Canada a try.
I was missing a knob for my early 80's Maniac. Spoke to Ned at VSN and he sent replacements over to Scotland.
"He Who Bestows Numbers"hasn't been active for a while.numbah, numbah, numbah....I want a numbah!!!!!
But the seat is open!
Well last time I did numbers the person who was in charge of doing numbers came back soooo.....
Anyway...MY PHOENIX PH-5 CAME IN!
It's a great bass; This is my first 5 so I am getting used to the added B string but she sounds marvelous. Very bright but can get deep when needed. Koa facings, mahogany body, maple neck with walnut stringers; what more could you ask for?

As about numbers, I lost count. Everyone should feel like Number 1.

(Nice bass, too, though the slanted bridge pickup triggers my OCD! 
)
Hah! That Kliban cat pillow is older than me; my parents had it for a long while and passed it on.Nice Kliban cat pillow!
The slanted bridge pickup is a Tune thing (you mainly see it on the Phoenix models), but I can't think of any other manufacturers doing slanted bridge pickups like that barring Strandberg. Maybe Hamer did it as well; not sure.
