Buying from the USA

[Jason Lynch]

if the item is still with the carrier, or at the airport awaiting clearence, that means you owe the taxman something before they'll release it. usually. Chances are there's a letter on its way to you.

Got it today, can anyone tell me if I will need springs to fit a Tonealiner pickup, as it did not come with any springs or screws?

[Jason Lynch]

if you do, I may have something suitable lying around. let me know

[Ken Byng]

I prefer to use PVC tubing rather than springs. Less transference of vibrations into the body.

Many years ago I bought replacement pickups for my Tele, and they came with tubing rather than springs. I noticed a big difference straight away.

Thanks Jason & Ken, When I removed the pickup from the Carter I found that it has built in springs
very neat. also i could install the new one without removing the strings, just slackened them off a little. So far I do like the tonealiner
, I now can get the third string to be as loud as the rest.
