Saw them live a few months back. Was most amazed by the singer! Brillant band and another Karnivool fan here too

Ryan Martinie.

I used to own thr SBMM Ray 34 but found the neck to be very chunky and the bass weighed a tonne. The sub ray (for a very brief and unplugged play) felt a lot easier to play in my opinion although I am used to a very lightweight bass and thin neck.

Yup. I shall be there!

I would say its a mistake, especially as I used to own a Lakland 55-01 with the nordstrands (possibly the same one actually!) and know how fantastic it sounds. Personal opinion but I wouldn't do it.

I've heard of a lot of people using "go pro" cameras but as far as I'm aware they are [s]not cheap[/s] bloody expensive.

Is it just me or does the bass sound like it has some form of octaver on it at very very random points? I've always found GAK's demo's to be a little...lacking in any actual demo.

Best answers have been said. Put it somewhere near the door and make sure all valuable things are out the way if you feel the need. I've never been fully comfortable with having someone in my house but my only valuable things (excluding my bass) are pretty big (i.e tv, speakers etc) and wouldn't exactly be easy to nick!

[quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1393376104' post='2379628'] I think he was alluding to how you'd get on with the fanned fretboard, rather than the sound. [/quote] I know, I was just saying that I would at least get an idea rather than being totally clueless.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1393374580' post='2379620'] Bass Direct is in Warwick, so that's a little bit closer at least! [/quote] Sadly still a 620 mile round journey [quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1393375368' post='2379623'] I was looking at the dingwalls tonight (on Bass Direct) thinking it would be nice to try one! Problem is, with the frets like that, it is going to take a bit of time to know if you get on with them, more time than you could probably justify in a shop! [/quote] True but I still think I'd get a decent idea of how it sounds with my (god awful) playing at least

How does one go about trying out a bass if there are no dealers of that bass nearby? Long story short I want to try a Dingwall bass but as far as I can tell the closest place that sells them to me is in London (in the form of The Gallery or Bass Direct).
