glassmoon Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Hi all I've just taken receipt of my Delano pickups, going into my Cort GB-75JH, and the chap who has always done the soldering for me is not available. I'm looking for a good tech near Epping (IOW, not Yorkshire hahahaha) to install them for me. It's a J and a MM set, and I've opted for the "simple" 4 wire for the MM, so no switching or splitting or tapping required. Connecting to the stock Cort 2 band EQ with P/P active/passive. My thanks in advance. Julian aka Glassmoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haruki Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I'd suggest Barrie at Gig Gear in Harlow - not too far away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I'm in Hoddesdon about twenty five minutes from Epping. If you don't go with Gig Gear, then give me a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewiswhitebass Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Ian Allerton at Guitarworks just outside Ware is an excellent tech. I believe he's SG11 about 30 mins drive away from Epping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassmoon Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 The gent of the hour is surely our Gary Mac, who installed the Delanos, replaced a dodgy blend knob, and had made me a very happy chappy. I have posted feedback for Gary elsewhere, but I have to add it here too. Ta muchly Gary!!! who who 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming they offer tech services independent of product purchase ? Or do they simply decline to work with Delano parts for any reason ?

Hope you now get to enjoy playing it. So far, I'm loving it. The MM pickup is oddly a little microphonic, which I never had with the exposed poles on my previous one, but in all honesty, it's not an issue at all... And certainly not anything you've done. Again, thank you Gary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the story is, and I'm not saying anything iffy about them at all, when I wanted assistance with installing a Delano MM into my previous bass, a SubRay5, I was informed that the tech didn't deal with Delano and would not be able to assist me. I have to assume that means they won't touch Delano...??? Anyway, nothing against them, but I'm happy to have had Gary Mac recommended to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
