Jack Briggs was telling me today that the chrome covers have to be sourced from somebody like All Parts. I had never seen chrome covers listed on Lollar's site before so that might 'splain it. I know that Jack has experience with at least one of Saul's instruments and I'm thinking perhaps it might have had the chrome covers on the soapbars if I remember what he told me. In any case, that is a killer looking fiddle. Hope you enjoy it. If you ever have a way of filming or recording some sounds, please pass them along. JB --Previous Message-- : Ha...that IS chrome!!! Looks killer! Hadn't : seen any of Jason's chrome covered bars. : Awesome! A lower-wind Lollar 90 sounds like : something I need to check into. I have two : of my instruments loaded with his soapbars. : My favorite pickups!!! : : JB : : : --Previous Message-- : Jason, : : The P90 covers are chrome.. I really like : the '50's wind, not as much output. They : are more versitile, not so easy to overload : the preamp. : : Norm, : It sounds great, I actually like it better : than my other Koll. Saul wired it so that I : have the standard Strat 5 way plus I can get : neck and bridge or I can get all three at : the same time plus I can throw the bridge : out of phase whenever it is used with any : other PUP. I am using neck and bridge : allot. : The guitar is way different sounding for me : so I am really excited by it. I can get an : amazing variety of usable tone from it. The : neck feels great and is a tad thicker than : my other Koll. : : It is a 25" scale, alder body, mahog : set neck , braz board. Hipshot trem, : sperzel machines.The paint was done by : California painter, Pat Wilkins and is POLY. : : ~Joe : : --Previous Message-- : Retro and futuristic at the same : time...nice. : Are those soapbars black or chrome? Hard to : tell from the angle/reflection. Probably a : standard black that's still new and shiny. : A trio of Lollar P90s is my favorite way to : go. Congrats. : : JB : : --Previous Message-- : : : Got the Koll that I have been wating for for : a year and a half....well worth the wait! : : And I got a Reinhardt MI-6 6V6 head. Like : the amp allot, it took a little tube : swapping to get the TONE, but it ROCKS and : sounds great with the Lollar '50s Costello : wind PUPs on the Koll. : : ~Joe : : : : : : :
