In general, definitely do call/PM/email Pete on things. You'll be VERY happy with his customer service!!
Heck, I wasn't even a customer yet and I was indeed VERY happy with his customer service when I called to ask a few questions!

Yep, as I suspected. +1I did a quick photoshop of my bass with black hardware, and it is definetly the way to go.

I actually really like the look of that bass with chrome hardware...but what do I know...
Yeah, you know, the more I think about it, the more I realize your shame for having this bass with chrome hardware should be unbearable. However, relief is on the way... in the interest of serving my fellow TB bretheren, I'll relieve this incredible pain FREE OF CHARGE(!!)... but act fast before I change my mind! My shipping address is...I did a quick photoshop of my bass with black hardware, and it is definetly the way to go.

Even better. I'll call Pete and give him the corrected shipping address, and I won't even ask you to pay the phone charges... yep, I'm THAT cool...Well, I haven't even seen the bass in person yet, so for all I know the chrome may not bother me a bit. We'll see!

Sorry, failed attempt at me being uber-silly and ridiculous. The idea is that you'd pay in full for the bass, but send it to me free just because of the chrome hardware.I don't get it....![]()

Well, that's a big no-brainer!![]()
DARN THOSE HIDDEN FEES!!!Oh, I see.... Would you at least pay the shipping charge? UPS quotes it to be $2800. It is mostly in the cost for insurance....

Got to see Tom's blue/green burst fretless yesterday when I took a trip down to Pete's shop. I think Tom wasted his money. He could have gone without the Skjold preamp.. because even in passive mode it had the honest to goodness best fretless tone I've ever heard. I'm not just saying that to be nice.. it sounded freakin amazing. And as usual, when the preamp is engaged it even got better.
Congrats Tom, it is amazing. It's got tons of "mwah" when you want it, it can get really growly, and the definition on the low end is remarkable.
