Agreed but it's not just Dingwall who've done this. Spector's fanfret Dimension bass, which is a similar price has similar individual bridge mounts which although not as extreme as the Dingwall offering, aren't as high quality as the Payson or even their own standard bridges.

...which I think I sold because someone on Basschat told me it wasn't a very good cab 🤣

Could be. The lead guitarist in one of my bands was struggling with intonation on his PRS. After many visits to the luthier, they decided it was the fret height PRS use combined with his string gauge and the strength of his grip. He went up a string gauge and tried to use a lighter touch. It improved things a lot but occasionally I think we sound a bit chorusy. Nobody else notices but it does make me check my bass tuning a lot.

Strings? Luxury, when I were a lad.......

....and while we're at it, given the thread title, it took me quite a long time to find a cab that sounded as good to my ear as my 1990's Peavey 15

I had the HA3000 before getting the HA5500, preferred the 3000 really as it was so easy to dial mids in with the two knobs.

didn't the originals have a tilt EQ and a switch to set the tilt point?

Change the click bait thread title.

So I finally finished my initial attempt at relic'ing and the creation of a 70s inspired p bass with TV logo. It's not a heavy relic as i didn't have the confidence to go all out, but I really like the vintage amber nitro on the neck and headstock... I'm hoping it will wear pretty quick and leave a dirty bare wood underneath... something I may help along it's way with a bit more research... So it started out as a standard squire VM p bass... now it certainly has a well worn in vibe to it... it certainly won't fool anyone but I like it! In time, I think I will look for some aged tuners and bridge as well... Or nickel hardware I can age with some Iron Chloride!

I had a Harke HA4000 head with 210 & 115 XL cabs, was a truly awesome sounding set-up, but as the amp was flight-cased (with rack tuner & wireless kit) it was all a bit too much for me so moved it on. The HA4000 was amazing, had parametric mids so could really shape the sound nicely.

For me, any active 5 string bass with the treble turned up and new strings. The bongo is pretty good, but they all are really until the strings go dull

Agree, we (Knock Off) have a gig in a couple of weeks time and the allocated time in the dressing room expires at 6:45, leaving us nowhere to put our gear, so for me that`s when I`m going home.

Diamond always had “Mid EQ” the SGFX reissue just added another threshold point 250 -500 - 900 i prefer the reissue over the original BCP-1

We do Sun Hits the Sky. Great bassline to play.
