You've got a Dingwall shaped hole in the stable. Bass Direct have a secondhand starting around £1350
Should try one of these.

Definitely on the list, no idea what they feel like to play though? -
Thanks folks, I had a USA precision a few years ago and I couldn't get on with it - I keep seeing them and going ooooh that's nice, any particular ones other than the U.S. standard that stand out? It would need real character I guess. BTW I changed the TH500 for the Puma, need to update my list!

Every year I allow myself one bass, sometimes I trade in, sometimes I don't. The cash I have available each year is £1,500 and I prefer to buy from dealers rather than one to one/eBay type things (sorry I know that's awkward). I have a Stingray, Spector Euro4LX DW, USA Deluxe Jazz and an old Roscoe which I adore. I'd rather not lose any of them.
My last purchase will be paid off in a couple of months so I'm looking at what's next. I play just about anything from Prog to Jazz to 80s pop through a Tecamp Puma 900, and two SL112s. I don't do 5 string or fretless.
Any thoughts on what I could go for?
Thanks

I can only say that I am very happy with my SL112s
-
Can definitely recommend Spector Legend 5, esp. if you can find a Custom with the 3 band EMG circuit rather than the TP Jr.

Something old & blue - Aria Pro RSB Deluxe II, from 1984.
Bought this new in December '84, was my main gigging bass until the original neck went like a corkscrew in the mid 90s. Neck's been replaced with a similar (but not identical) RSB Straycat version, which is straight but doesn't feel quite right. Still looking for a proper MIJ RSB replacement, then it might gig again!

Oh.... I used to have one of those in Pearl White, bought it in '88. Traded it in a few years later, the one bass I wish I had never ever sold, most playable neck I've ever come across apart from the Spector DougW. -
I play upside down by the way

Finally got a Pedaltrain, you know what they say, 'buy cheap, buy twice'. Here she is.

Thanks guys, does anyone know if MXRand Boss pedals can take over 9V?
-
What would happen if I used the 12v outputs on my Harley Benton Powerplant to power standard 9V Boss/MXR pedals? Does anyone else do this?
Thanks

Hi folks, I need a gig bag that will fit an Aguilar TH500 in the pocket, any advice?
Thanks

Awesome sound!

Been playing bass 30 years and have used countless compressors, only lately do I start to understand what compression is and how it affects my sound. The only tip I can give is that is all about the feel in your fingers, in many ways its the best lesson you could have about controlling your own sound.
Get a compressor that feels OK and STICK WITH IT - over time it will become part of the muscles in your hand and you will protect it above all other effects. Mine's a Multicomp and it has helped me discover "my sound" (along with a CEB3) -

Got £100 for a Wah, Cry Baby or Weeping Demon early front runners. Looking for something that can do the spread Doug Wimbish comes up with rather than the Hendrix approach.
-
I've had both. The MIM was awful, felt cheap and nasty, I would have been much better off spending my cash on an Ibanez. The American on the other hand is like a work of art.
-
Damn thats gorgeous
-
Not slept with one
Yet -
Came with the tortoise, it's a lovely combination. I'm in "sitting looking constantly at my new bass" mode!
-
Only put in an hour or so on it so far but very happy

Imagine a TE micro/lightweight head at 500w like a TH500

The Ramones were fun and there's no harm in that

New Years Day for example, awesome bassline.
Re the above, I really hope not Pete, lets hope AC did it all himself.

I would add a fretless or maybe 5/6 string?

Don't do these I'm afraid
