I’ll post some demos of Mitch when I get on my laptop in a bit

lol when I came here and wanted to find info on Japanese basses I noticed you always chipped in. from a distance you have helped loads. Especially regarding changing the electronics.

I’ve not played them but like you the sound articulate and thumpy. Mitch Friedman who works for la Bella and also who these was made for gives AMAZING demos of them. on talk bass people really like them. They say they don’t seem extremely high tension.

This is really nice. My vibe as well

I couldn’t agree more. His a legend. He worked with herbie when the headhunters first started working with herbie. I’m sure his the drummer in the iconic live flood album recorded in Japan 1976.

No worries. Yes very much food for though. They are the price of a take away, given how prices of things have gone up lol.

I've not BUT i have read many reviews from people on here and also talkbass. They liken it to the fender custom shop 62 pickup in a good way. The fender has a slightly more open sound compared to the tonerider. Makes sense as the fender reads 10.5 and the tonerider 11.5(p bass) Many rate it very highly.

just found this. Paul Jackson and Mike Clark on drums

I like these conversations. I’ve not tried any of the listed English makers as yet. it would be great if people could add a sound example of the pickup so we could get a reference. I know about the American brands lollar, Lindy fralins and arcane. They are regarded the best in the field for hand built pickups. I would love to hear how uk based pickups sound from makers like creamery, bloodstone, catwhiskers, Gemini etc. The prices of the above listed are like half of what an imported arcane pickup including tax would cost.

Know worries bud. This site is here to help each other. 😁

I have dealt with will. Bought a bass last November. Spoke to him yesterday via what’s app about getting another bass we have been in communication with for a bit. He said last week was crazy as he had over 50 basses in. He will get back to you his just rather caught up. Either ring him and leave a voicemail if you don’t get through, email or what’s app. I replied but waiting for a response. I know he will respond back. Like others say he does get back and is amazing to deal with.

ill check this out thanks

lol very true. That is exactly what happened. the Pickup mounting screws are completely different. They have a flat head but the lip is thick. I've not found it anywhere. I have a fender mounting screw in atm and it's too long. everything is online for these things now. None of my local music stores have things like this.

purple pickup covers may be good. As they are 3d printed its not a big commitment. Hope all is well on your side.

I saw this on Bassbros. A friend was interested. It sold within hours. By the time my friend finished work and went to buy it. It was gone. I recently bought a Yamaha pulser 400 from will. I would love to try or own this bass.

cheers mate. I was thinking of heading to my local diy store 🙈
