Optional Hardware In order to keep my cost to you down, I have a number of standard parts I use that perform well and are good bargains. But I can get just about anything you might want to make your bass or guitar truly unique, or to get just that right sound.

I use Graph Tech nuts as standard. As they are the best (in my view), I don't know why you'd want something else. But if you do, I can supply the nut in bone or a different synthetic material.

My standard pickups are from Bartolini. They are the single coil thin soapbar type for 4 and 5 string (X44CBJS or X45CBJS), and Split In-line coil type G66CBJD for 6 string. Active EQ circuits are available at extra cost.

A variety of other pickups are available (for extra cost) from Bartolini, Seymour Duncan, EMG, and others. I especially recomend Bartolini Pickups and Preamps/EQ's . I particularly like and recomend Bartolini's Dual Coil type soapbars in the CBC series, as they have very good range, and with coil tap switches offer a variety of tonal options. Let me know what you want, and I'll do my best to accomodate you.

My standard bridges for bass are heavy duty generics and are available in your choice of chrome, black, or gold.

Optional bridges include: HipShot, ABM, Gotoh, Schaller, and Leo Quann for Bass; Hipshot bridges only are available with Thru-The-Body stringing ( at additional cost). Please make note if you want this.

If you don't see it listed, please ask!

My standard bass tuners are sealed type, and come in your choice of chrome, black, or gold.

Optional tuners available ( at extra cost) include Hipshot, Schaller, Gotoh, and others. If you want open tuners or old-style covered ones, please ask.

Fretboard lights... to help you see your positioning on dark stages.

If you have a specific brand and/or model in mind for optional hardware, just let me know and I'll let you know the price and delivery impact if any.
