  4. Quick Lick 14 – Stretch Out 5-string fretless completely optional! 0:00 Demo 0:41 Context 1:45 Breakdown 13:10 Outro Backing track and PDFs available in a separate post on Patreon for Pentatonic Patrons and above.
  5. As they have round cores I would say there's a bit mellower than the D'Ads. Watch this video, from 1:56 to 2:42 and then again from 6:49 to 7:35, which might help.
  6. I pulled this as the new price has dropped below £500 now. However, on reflection I think £600 for the amp in mint condition, plus the bluetooth adapter, footswitch and carry bag is still a good deal, so it's back up again.
  7. Think this looks fab, unfortunately out of my range right now so have a bump on me
  8. Drop The Bomb! - Trouble Funk
  9. Hi all, I am making a friend's Gear4Music San Francisco semi acoustic bass playable and I have found that the neck shape and pickup poles really need a trapeze tailpiece with ~55mm spacing rather than the supplied 45mm one. The dimensions are pretty much the same as my acoustic bass which is 55mm at the bridge... Does anyone know if such a thing exists? Before I just make one. The bass is a bit of a Friday special, but was bought during lockdown and never got sent back. Cheers Nick
  10. 2468 Mortar Way - Tom Robinson
  11. She Shells Sanctuary - The Cult
  12. I think part of the problem is not wanting to necessarily pay for the tooling to create a bespoke bridge for what might (at least in Spector's case) be a niche seller. Dingwall seem to be going great guns so it has made sense to create something. There aren't a lot of off the shelf options for single bridges either and I'm guessing Babicz pricing might price them out of being used more widely as it squeezes the margin just that bit more.
  13. Nope, just the single speaker
  14. Lad? Luxury, when I were an Australopithecus... ☺️
  15. Thanks @WinterMute! I think it’s because I played Warwick 5-strings for so many years with their tight string spacing. Wasn’t the sound I was ultimately looking for though; which is a particular shame as this bass sounds exactly the way I want but I can’t quite get my hands round it without drastically changing my technique. And of course most Jazz-style 5-stringers have 19mm spacing. My current main 5-string is a Ken Smith Burner which is 17.5mm and much easier for me to get around. I’ll be sad to see this one go though; it sounds amazing
  16. Thank you! All this time and I had never noticed the URL! Yup, it comes to the best of us! 👴🏻👴🏻 😂
  17. Cabinet technology not so much, but driver technology for sure. You may be able to greatly increase performance replacing it. I can make recommendations knowing the exact internal dimensions of the cab and port. An 8 ohm cab is best, allowing you to use two should the need arise, although with a 100 watt amp it probably would not.
  18. I just added a transformer to the preamp so the balanced output is working now too. soundsamples will follow soon now!
  19. … these really are fantastic pedals, had a good play with my one last night and it sounded lovely!
  20. Indeed: please change the click bait thread title, @Sean It's not funny, and even if this was not on purpose, I have no words ...
  21. 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.
  22. ...which I think I sold because someone on Basschat told me it wasn't a very good cab 🤣
  23. 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.
