So, I’m not a fan of 5 strings, they just become a thumb anchor for the times I’m hitting the E string, I’ve tried, just can’t get over it.
I do love a Hipshot D-Tuner though as I like to cover a bit of grunge.
I purchased a Wal the other day and like all my basses my first thought was D-tuner.
After research I decided I needed an
EB4 in gold…
On further research I discovered Hipshot stopped making the EB4 😩
I fired off an email to hipshot asking about a model replacement number (expecting a nay and a hunt for a secondhand model) on the 28th of December (it’s the holidays, they won’t answer until the new year.
To my suprise a few hours later I got a response from Oscar Yuan.
please call us it’s a special order as we only have one left and in gold!!
I like to think he went rummaging through dusty old boxes and emerged triumphant, dtuner held high, but he probably looked at the stock list on the PC 🤣😂
A call to the states and a quick conversation with Oscar and the item was ordered.
29th of December I got an invoice and dispatch note, it’s on its way.
Oscar, thank you, Hipshot great customer service.
Another happy customer.
