The Telebass
The greatest bass known to man.
Is this acoustic the b100 ? ^^
the glare doesn't let me see :/
Thank You, I am not losing my mind
. Is it really OK for me to say who it is? If so, I'll gladly steer business away from the jerk!:scowl:
If it's not "OK to say" then please PM me with it, I do not want to inadvertently patronize an asshat like this.Thank You, I am not losing my mind
Dude, I need to order some tuners from HipShot, as well, and I live here in the states. If you haven't taken care of it, by then, I will gladly order yours, as well, and pay them forward when they arrive. I'm surprised HS won't ship them directly to you. You should call them.
I could order them from Hipshot but they charge full suggested retail, $35 and shipping cost likely high. And then there's duty and sales tax. Retailers generally can sell them at $22 - $25 each, like $50 buck savings.
You can't find them in a local store in Ohio? They would save you money too likely.
If a 'friend' network could be worked out where good fella's like you could purchase stuff and send them as "gifts" to us poor a-- Canuck's stuck out here in the prairies with little access to good stores, we could save alot of cash. No harm no foul as long as you in the USA are not businesses. Blue skying here!!

Let me know, I'll take you up on that. Paypal you before you purchase them.
At least a local store could call Hipshot while you are in the store and confirm that you can get them.

I believe this is the ticket. According to my measurements anyhow, I used a digital caliper. The string post is different with no indented area, just straight barrel... old skool.
Paypal stole over four hundred dollars from me, and I absolutely refuse to use them for *anything*. I'll send you a PM if I find a dealer here locally, though, and we can work something out.
Paypal passes themselves off as an 'internet bank', but they aren't governed by any of the rules and laws that are on the books to keep real banks from ripping people off, and they *do* rip people off *all* the time. I used my paypal debit card on a trip from Ohio to Florida, and about halfway through the trip, Paypal flagged my card and froze my account, leaving me stranded in northern Georgia with no money (all of my money was on my Paypal debit card (the bank account it was tied to was my wifes, and she had the only card associated with it)). Several calls to paypal while I was stranded proved useless. Once I made it home, I fired off some emails and made some calls, and resulted in the *actual*bank*account* associated with my paypal account being frozen for almost 4 months... There was little over $4,000 in that account, and we ended up missing mortgage and utility payments... Not to mention our account could take direct deposits from our jobs, but once the money was deposited into our locked account, we could not withdraw it. Paypal finally released the hold on our bank account after we threatened them with a pretty hefty lawsuit, but they *never* released the $400+ I had in my paypal account to me, and they *never* reopened my account -- all because I used my card in two states over a 4 hour period (which isn't hard when you're TRAVELLING).
In short, to hell with Paypal. Never has a more crooked company existed on the internet.

OOOOOH!!! Bad, however you want to do it is fine by me! Money order, Western Union transfer, etc.Your store could even call my toll free number and I could give them my credit card! That would protect us both!
I usually do things via Western Union 
anyways, I'll have a look around locally and see who sells HipShot products, here. Hopefully, I can help you out. Rock on

There ought to be a PayPoo horror story post too. I have one to tell about frozen money and that PayPoo required me to get a notarized letter from my bank that they would allow PP to add or take from the account at will. PP also insisted on having my sign-in account name and password to access my online banking page.
They kept money from me as long as they could and I told them to just e-transfer the money to my bank, which happened in a few days.
But here's the scam according to my bank:
All the time they have the money tied up, they are drawing interest on it and if they were a real bank, under the lending laws, they'd have to pay that interest to you since the money is not in an escrow account.
I could see the positive balance and it was just sitting there untouchable by me until I got that letter from my bank.
PP likes to seize by escheating the funds without making it a real deposit to squirm around the interest payouts.
How long? They had our account for almost 4 months. We missed 2 mortgage payments (as well as two full rounds of utilities), and two of my wife's paychecks got deposited into a frozen account before she could cancel the direct deposit (which is a pain in the ass in and of itself)...
I wasn't as damaged as you were from PP's inactivity - it was just a couple of weeks.
But I screamed and yelled and my bank did too which may have gotten someone off their collective rectal tissue.
Still, having my $700.00 tied up in limbo is just not nice - even if it's just 24 hours for electronic 'clearing'.
does anyone know if there would be much difference going form the stock 'duncan designed' pup's to duncan hotstacks?
I have to ask, what is it you don't like about the sound of the stock pups? I find them nice and hot and get great sound out of them. Do you really want to spend the money to find out? Look, reading comments here on TB still doesn't tell you anything about a sound of o pickup or how it will sound in your bass. If you want a brighter sound, throw some stainless steel rounds on the bass instead of the stock nickels. Flats if you want more thump. MHO.
