If you are a dealer, could you please send me a PM?

I'm looking for a few parts for a new project.

Thanks a heap!

Russ

Russ, have you tried contacting Fishman directly? I haven't dealt with them but I did call L.R. Baggs and they are willing to deal with you directly. There is a substantial discount for buying direct and Baggs will sell you as little as one pickup at a time.

Worth a shot....

I'm a fishman dealer, but unless you order in large quantities they don't
hardly give much of a discount so it's not worth my time to mess with them
(plus I'm not too fond of their pickups anyway). You'd only save about $15
going direct rather than just picking a good reseller (who buys in bulk and
gets the discounts) and buying from them.

John,

Thanks for the feedback. I contacted Fishman directly to see if they offer a "luthier's discount". They do, but they also told me their minimum order was 12 per item, which is wayyyy more than I need for a couple of prototypes.

They also stated they are willing to take smaller orders, but I think the few items I need won't make up a minimum order, so I will talk to some shops.

Thanks again!

Russ

Russ,

If these are for your prototypes, are you set on Fishman? K and K makes an awesome product and they have a lot of options. Look at there stuff at KandK Sound. There are a few of us that distribute them, including me!

Good Luck
Shane

Shane,

Thanks for the offer, but I am looking for a Powerbridge (or similar) for an electro-acoustic.

I think LR Baggs also offer something similar, so I will have a look with them as well.

yeah LR Baggs has an X-bridge and a T-bridge (strat style and tune-o-matic
style). And they will deal directly with you (I'm guessing) and you'll get a
very nice discount.
