    If this is the one (black hardware) its an absolute stunner! GLWTS

    That bass originally belonged to Bill, bassist of Rag'n'Bone Man I believe, sounds nice but daft weight. It would have cost over double that new in 2015 with those options, easily (High Polish, Macasser ebony top, maple board, nordstrand pickups, matching headstock) although he may have benefitted from artist pricing I guess.

    Nice score, would love a Pro M. Lovely instruments.

    Unless you do a lot of chordal work at the dusty end, I think most people will pretty seamlessly transition.

    If you went that route, message in code. Ebay read the message and ban your account if you try and do deal that means they lose fees. They have bots reading your messages, far beyond the old detecting an email address trick they used to do. I'm on a final warning...

    I couldn’t care less where it is built if the quality is there. Problem is, comparing how much it costs to build instruments in Indonesia vs Canada/UK/US and western countries in general, it’s so very, very expensive. And that’s before you simply compare it to their guitar costs...

    Secondhand Canadian Dingwall? http://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/ABZ4_Blue.html Just short of £1k change...
  8. Kev
    ....and it’s built in Indonesia?!!! That puts it in direct competition with the Dingwall Combustion/NG range, an established market leading instrument, and it costs double...

    So, £3k. At least the prog bass is cheaper after all. Weakest at least ever though. I’m VERY surprised, incredibly bold to go in at such a high price for a first stab at building a bass. Crazy.

    I think these are made in the Cort factory, a rebadging rather than a clone. Really, really decent basses for the money. I had a 6 string once with a spalt maple top and it was brilliant.

    That Standard is a good looking bass for sure, very keen to know the price on these to say whether its a no go or not.

    For me that's a starting point, how do you find the 210 + 110 combo compared to just the 210?
  15. Kev
    Sorry to bring this back up, but I too am considering adding a One10 to my setup. @largo May I ask how you get/got on with your 3 One10 setup?
  16. Kev
    Stunning!

    Again on cost, preamp aside, the standard uses roasted birdseye maple as a fretboard, which must cost more than standard ebony. Other than the brown stain, those represent the extent of the differences, so the prices should be very close if not the same?

    Weight puts me off, I’ve never owned a super lightweight bass that can hold a candle to a heavier counterpart for depth of tone, but I guess tone wood is controversial 😂. And this does have a reason to be lighter, with the end chopped off and all. Darkglass preamp was around £50 odd less last time I looked, course Strandberg will have more buying power from Nordstrand with the pickups etc so they’ll get a better deal I suspect.

    Tone wise it’s nothing special or unique, prog model should be cheaper as it has a lower priced pre in it, but I bet it won’t be! It’s all going to be on playability for me. And yeah, the price will have to come in favourable to Dingwall to challenge that market. I’m more interested in why it has taken so long to come out and spent so long in the prototype stage.

    Thanks for stepping in, my efforts to get back on topic have been ignored somewhat and I keep getting baited back in by those naughty Spector folk! ;)

    We're having a party on Saturday night to celebrate 10 years of Dakesis, with Fury and my band Cenfora. Proggy, melodicy, power metally goodness in the centre of Birmingham for a fiver! Be awesome to see some of you guys down, we're first up and will be playing our album "The Progening" in full! The Progening on Spotify

    Can you link me to the source which documents when Spector requested royalties and Framus/Warwick refused?
  23. Kev
    That bezel though... No respect for Mr Doren anymore and don't really wish to fund his business ventures, but interested in what he has come up with here. New logo is hideous, another price rise, something special or is this just a rebadged Wonderlove?
  24. Kev
    Oh noo! 😴 Everyone's worst nightmare when it comes to truss rod adjustment. All is not lost, necks can be repaired and be stronger than ever, but yeah its the money thing that's the issue.

    Darkglass X7

    Kev replied to visog's topic in Effects

    Not had that much time to play with the X, but initial tests were very good. Hoping to get a tone dialed in for at least one track at the weekend gig, see how it compares to the AOU/B3K combo. I think it’s a stand-alone pedal thought, haven’t achieved great results stacking yet, which is odd for Darkglass but I guess given how it work it does make sense.
