Think I will be going down the DIY route when I get a free weekend. I will never use this on a day to day basis as I know that everything it hits (car, walls, tanks) always fair off worse, but it is useful to have around for when I inevitably get some GAS and want to move it on. Not got an electric carving knife but will keep my eyes open for one.

Had an SS2 turn up from the Netherlands so that has taken some of my free time up too. So far I'm really digging it. It doesn't have quite the growl of the Warwicks I've gone through recently but it has a really clear tone and the EQ is very usable. Little boost on the bass pot can really give some extra warmth to the tone. Really impressed with the quality of the finish, took a little tweaking to get the neck where I like it and I have a feeling that I might well end up going for a slightly different string as these I think are adding to the brightness sound at the moment. Quite like the pick up switching, if I remember right it goes neck solo, both parallel, both series, bridge. I might have got the middle two the wrong way round.... I probably have.... I'm used to have a pan switch on the bass so its been different to have set functions. They are all quite usable tones. I definitely prefer the big sound of using both pickups though compared to a single. The quality of the woods and everything seems really good also, being inquisitive I have had the neck off and pickguard. The pick up routing surprised me but I get the feeling I could easily make a triple bucker version if I wanted in the near future. See the photo below to understand what I mean. Neck pocket is very tight and I can't find any blemishes in the finish, overall a really solid bass. Hopefully get to try it with the band in the next couple of weeks as we are on a litle break whilst we find a new rehearsal space. Have a mate who has just got a little home recording device so will try and maybe get a sound sample in the not too distant future.

No liner. Foam is disintegrating every time you touch it.

Hi all, Had a look around and can't see a recent thread for this. Has anyone had any experience recently either making their own insert or with sourcing an affordable company to make one? Just got a bass in a trade and the case is more or less knackered. There is just as much shards of foam on my floor as there is in the case. Would like to retain it as otherwise its in good condition but wouldn't want to spend £100 when I know I can get a new case for much much less.

Not the most flattering photo. But a good start. First impressions are good. Had to dig out a 9/64 hex key (damn Canadians) to adjust the truss rod but slowly getting it to where I want to it be for my slightly heavy handed style.

Dingwall is currently sat on the back seat of my car waiting for my work day to end. Will get some shots and report back after some tinkering in a couple of days.

Waiting for a call...

'96 Streamer Bolt On (pre LX), previously owned by Sambucadan on here.

Think I need to update my collection on this thread. Maybe tomorrow.

Bought a re-amp box off of Steve. Very easy guy to deal with. Packed and shipped next day. Arrived very well packed. Would happily recommend.
