Hello everybody! I'll try to answer to everything (life death and so on... answer will be... 42... joke) - "[color=#0000ff]Have you considered a 5 string version?[/color]" yes, just ask , give pole spacing and I 'll do it. - "[color=#0000ff]Curtis Novak is now making Bisonic pickups. They're in the new Guild Starfire Bass too[/color]." false : Curtis novak make one bisonic "clone" for sale at a certain price... they are not intend to be first mounted on the new guiLd bass . - "[color=#0000ff]He also makes one that fits in a Gibson mudbucker housing![/color]" true... and quite false, the one Curtis mounted inside the EB mudbucker is more a big P90 than a real bisonic system, no sandwhich core, no adjustable pole pieces, different magnet, different bobin geometry and different bobin ohm value, it's still a bass pickups though... See picture somewhere in US Talkbass forum. - "[color=#0000ff]wow... turn the headstock the right way, stick an old style bridge on that and paint it a solid colour and that might be the bass of my dreams based on looks![/color]" well, contact me for an order and you'll get it right (beside this, this one has a set and carve adjusted neck) (see picture) and finally here's another "DR" bisonic housed in a PAF pickup cover for mounting on a "special" EB bass...

For those who know , you'll recognize the same effective parts found in a Bisonic /darkstar...

some news from the other side of the channel, Jaguar type "DR" with DR re-designed bisonic type pickups. Elected "bass of the year 2012" in the french magazine "guitariste and basse magazine" plus some pictures of these pickups parts :sorry for the pictures sizes...

hello , by french curiosity, what does mean "rumours afoot" is it that kind of "rumours"? http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/club-dark-star-731040/index25.html Have a good night all.

the sound files are actually on the site, I did several tracks with various basses recorded the same way at same level on the same amp in order to compare. have a nice day.

very soon now, just the time to find a day which will be longer than 24 hours... seriously, very soon. I will sale two third of the serie I am making (50 sets)

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1338576074' post='1676768'] So are all the basses now your own version of the Dark Star pick up? [/quote] yes, plus my own ceramic lipstick

just type "daguet" and guitars on gogle...

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1324986984' post='1478879'] That luthier is one of the guys who was building using Dark Stars and so I guess he can't any longer get them from Fred Hammon so .... [/quote] Hello from France, I am this guy and I can't get these pu's anymore... so. I did them for my basses first , improving, if possible, their mounting but I've keep all the essential part of the "darkstar" same magnets, bobine, laminated core and pole piece sizes. and it works! (some new pictures on the site) have a nice day. DR
