Delberthot Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago Thomann sell Lollars but they only have the DC version as PJs https://www.thomann.co.uk/pickups_for_4_string_j_bass.html?manufacturer[]=Lollar&gk=GITABA4J&sp=solr&cme=true&filter=true Alternatively, try the UK dealers listed: https://www.lollarguitars.com/dealers-europe If they don't have them, they should be able to get them Quote

Sean Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago (edited) Toltec pickups from Leeds. They're from Laverack guitars. Lee is very helpful and makes a cracking pickup at very competitive prices. His J and P pickups are fantastic. Edited 5 hours ago by Sean Quote
