Where to buy BBand pickups?
Now that Shoreline Music no longer stocks them, where would one go to buy BBand pickups?

Blue Star Music, but I would call Shorline first to understand their decision. The owner of Blue Star is also a good resource for advice and I've consulted him more than once over the phone and via email.

Any reason why Shoreline stopped selling B-Band? I bought the A2.2 XOM from them a year or two ago. I was under the impression that they liked the brand.

If I am using a UST, the only one I want is a B-band. Thanks for the tip on Blue Star now that Shoreline is not stocking them. As far as understanding Shoreline's decision, I don't need to.

I stopped carrying B-Band because they stopped selling their products in the US. Pekka has moved on to other things.
As it turns out, we were cleaning this weekend and found a box with a few remaining pickup elements and a couple of pickup systems. I'll get them onto the Closeouts page some time in the coming weeks.

Bob Colosi is now a B-Band dealer.

Hi B-Band fans-
Shoreline mentioned that "Pekka has moved on to other things." I noticed that the B-Band.com domain is currently not working (a message in Finnish says the page "has not yet been configured for use"). As a B-Band user from way back (I was a beta tester/consultant back when they entered the market), I got curious. The ferro-electret material B-Band pickups are made from was first called EMFi (for Electro-mechanical film) but quickly was renamed Emfit film; the B-Band company was originally EMF Acoustics. The Emfit film was manufactured by Emfit Ltd in Finland. Now both the Finnish and US Emfit web sites focus on using the film for health monitoring: Emfit - Company - Finland Health http://www.finlandhealth.fi/-/emfit Emfit Corp. http://www.emfitcorp.com/index.php?page=emfit-corp Bob Colosi's web site notes he is phasing out B-Band products for "business" reasons. I wonder if B-Band is essentially now defunct even in Finland, so that even Blue Star's stock may not be long for this world. I do feel they offered something unique so I'm a bit saddened at the thought of B-Band leaving this market. Cheers, Tom |

I too was a beta tester for BBand when they first hit the market. I played one with a Mills mic in my old Ted Thompson guitar. Great tone for a UST. Hope you’re well Steve Cuss
