DeLisle String Ferrule block

Has anyone installed one of these to their ASAT?

Do they make a good difference to the sound? I want to try one out. That plastic part has always looked a bit crap, it's the only blemish on an ASAT.

This is my first post, pics of my G&L porn to come

I got one from Taipan Tone http://www.taipantone.com/pages/ToneBar.html the brass one, for one of my ASAT's and it worked great for me, really makes the strings ring out. Will get more for other ASAT's as well.

I have a brass Taipan Tone block. I think it adds something. I replaced an original zinc one found on an early ASAT Classic 3 bolt model that I have. I got it on ebay for $30 plus shipping; new from Taipan Tone. I'd go with the Taipan Tone one because of the "lip", and I know it fits. Good luck, tell us how it turned out for you. Notice any difference?

I couldn't find a Taipan tone one for sale on eBay, they're more expensive than the DeLisle ones. I'll try the DeLisle and post the results - hopefully it will fit!

Recommend the brass version.

Let us know how it sounds but more importantly how it fits. Not sure if that one has the "lip" that assures a secure fit.
