  1. Nice explanation... loving your bass. What scale is that one?
  2. Interesting point Lfalex (whatever your latest version is). Ibanez in particular have experimented with different fanned fret loci as you can choose where to to align the multi-scales against each other, as well as how severe you make the fan, i.e. 35, 36 or 37" on the 'B' and 34, 33 or 32" on the 'G'. Not seen a reverse 'long-low, short-high' design but I'm sure someone's done it.
  3. Ish guys review similar models:
  4. So Anderton's latest bass vid got me thinking - are multi-scales set to become the norm or will 'uni-scale' basses remain the default? I suspect the latter but this trio still look, and sound, very intriguing. Which did you think sounded the best? They all had their moments but the Dingwall maybe?
  5. Action looks a bit 'challenging' as I come from the John Entwistle (I wish) school of strings under the frets. Much room left for height adjustment at the bridge? Also, still got the ramp?
  6. Lovely. Sometimes JD look overwrought but this looks great. GLWTS
  7. Crumbs! What a wonderful looking bass. I thought that the BB's had offset fret markers but I could be wrong. That bass is going to make someone very happy!
  8. Not played one but heard one and it was glorious...
  9. 5 or a 6 and would bitten your arm off. GLWTS!
  10. Good debate. Great cause. Not very good though eh... elephant in the room.
  11. Yes, me too. Although a different year. Billy Sheehan and Victor Bailey were there. Victor was phenomenal and Billy was super nice - although I think worryingly he's got hearing problems Shuker and Goodfellow were there too. Both wonderful. Overwater had a great stand too.
  12. Agree with comments above. Here's my pic from this am. This is it - well Ibanez off to the left out of shot. Long stand on the right was Bass Direct who had a good stand with Mr Dingwall on it too. I've been to the Manchester shows of old and one in London and they've been great. This was very disappointing and disingenuous of the organisers really. I accept lockdown hasn't helped but simply adding it to a drum show as if this added to attraction was a bad move.
  13. He was billed to go but noticed on Facebook he mentions recent surgery. https://fb.watch/c8Y6q-Kuia/
  14. The sixer? Yes me too. Hope the 17mm string spacing is not too tight. Hoping to have a go at the imminent Bass (and now, electric and acoustic guitar) Show.
  15. The Andertons Bass gents have a nice review of the range here:
  16. Not sure MK had an endorsement with Alembic or GB as such but it's a good list.
  17. So Janek Gwizdala has Fodera and Matttisson and Hadrien Feraud with Ken Smith and Mayones spring to mind....
  18. Good answer. But, I'm to get to the bass players who've gone all in with one brand and then pop up with a similar product with a different manufacturer. Brian Bromberg's B-Quad springs to mind...
  19. Yes. Very precise. Now answer your own question.
  20. OP - no. They create different tonal responses. But as far as integrity goes... not heard anyone say my bolt-on neck fell off. Doesn't happen. So we're into the tone which is brighter for a bolt-on but more compressed in the attack for a neck through with a longer sustain.
  21. Yes... I seem to recall he's done his own brand and Pedulla
  22. I'd go Billy Sheehan too but on strings, straps, pedals...
  23. Manufacturers please... Yamaha obvs but I don't recall others?
