Import duty will nearly double that, it’s a pain but even then they’re still silver not gold

I suggest spray paint.

I suggest spray paint.

That would save some cash, I could nail the neck on too and call them silver dowels

I’m using those on my Explorer and I am very pleased..Probably going to order another set..Big Bang for the bucks..

Saw these, and they piqued my curiosity. Any chance you've been able to compare them to the Gibson pickups in the Classic Pro IV? Chrome would look much better on the white body of my bird, IMO.

Good to know as they look good and are affordable for 2. Like your choice of bridge also (Hipshot K-A)

That looks like a Schaller bridge on the Explorer.

Use double head nails and call it decorative relief filigree.

Even if sent as a private package with chocolate chip cookies?

 

[Christine]

Sent as a gift I might get away with it but for how long I wouldn’t like to guess, four or five packages a year at most wouldn’t draw much attention I wouldn’t have thought

Between you and I, that was meant to console JJR58....

Well there you go, enough for 5 or more basses..

Is that a reversed NR?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Exactly, what I've always thought. Much better look than this..

Pumpkinburst?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Oh, Jeff...

Clearly you were thinking straight... (OK, bad pun.)

 

[Nocturnal]

I guess it must be "Theme Music Day"...

Man I have not heard that song in a couple of decades!!!

Is that a reversed NR?

It's a rotated, flipped over, rotated, reversed, non-reversed, flipped horizontally, flipped out, re-reversed, pulled inside out NR/NR.

Oh, yeah, easy for you to say.
