    It ain't that heavy after all... I got my Spartan and Acoustic Image for "those kind of gigs"...

    My aim is to get a rig for our blues/rock act that is kind of "photogenique". More classic.

    Tell me more...! What is the string spacing at bridge? Does it have an adjustable truss rod? Will the 33" scale produce a solid, nice, firm low B? If so - would you ship to Sweden? //Roger

    Bump for this one!

    Well, I say: Bump!

    Two weeks ago I traded a pedal for a fantastic rock cabinet, a Hughes & Kettner QS 810 PRO. That thing is a real tower of power: 1800 Watts and 4 ohms, eight 10" neodymium whizzer cone speakers in a seriously ported cab, so no Ampeg knock-off. One like this: This Friday I laid my hands on a beautiful second hand Fender Bassman 100T. The thought was to mate them two. I had my doubts at first, that the amp would be too weak, but no. No no no! This setup really pushes a lot of air with a tone to die/kill for. Creamy, gooey, just down right nice! Sits in the band's mix like a mountain! The Bassman 100T is a very smart amp, with a feature its big brother the Super Bassman lacks: you can run it without speaker for silent recording! Here are some very nice features: - switchable power: 100 Watts, 25 Watts and 25 Watts silent into the internal power soak, - DI can be tapped afterthe power amp, sending all the gooey stuff to mixer, - switchable 2, 4 or 8 ohms, - Auto BIAS that activates at start-up, - you can set the BIAS from Cool via Normal to Warm in a few steps, - two channels: classic Bassman and modern with overdrive, foot switchable, The tone is classic Bassman with a lot of bottom and body. The overdrive channel works best with a tweeterless cab. It sounded silly with my AccuGroove TRI112L and kind of harsh with my TKS 2126 cabs, so no hi tech cabs for this guy. The amp's front end is very responsive, and reacts to playing dynamics in a nice way. Not with explosions in volume, but rather in wooly creaminess when diggin' in, making the power tubes glow hot. I find this setup very nice for our blues/rock act. Maybe not for gigs in the sacred room, jazz or more unplugged kind of stuff. I ordered some Fender grille cloth that I'm going to spray glue on the metal grille on the H&K cab to make them match. When that is done, I'll post a pic... And - it smells nice...

    The weight of the bass is approx. 4.5 kg (a tad under 10 lbs) according to my wife's (Not mine!!!) bathroom scales. Since the bass has very good balance, it feels much, much lighter. I had a major back surgery some years ago, and this bass has never given me any problems. Weight is something I am VERY picky about...

    Well, I sold Master's Sklar bass. (But it was more or less mine, after all...) [/url]

    I'll check. I get back.

    No, he is a mixed match. Norwegian forest cat and Birma. The kindest, nicest and sweetest animal I've ever known. My wife, who is deacon, calls him the litte deacon. He loves small children. He loves water(!). A very, very empathic charachter...

    Here is a side-by-side comparison between the Davidson bass and my old Jazz Bass (NO! This one is NOT for sale!) lying on two of my wife's worn out yoga mats: Lo and behold! The Jazz Bass is bigger, or maybe mor correct: taller...

    Calling my missus a monster...? Shame on you! 😁😁😁 Anyway, this bass is fantastic. I love it every time I pick it up.

    6'2" in the morning. Shorter in the evening. I haven't compared this bass to a Fender, but my Dingwall Voodoo is shorter over all than a Fender Precision; I think this one is about the same size. I keep it in an ordinary gigbag,

    Socks with shoes, but sandals just to go out and take the pictures for you guys...

    Here are some pictures. I appologise for the rather MANIC stare/glare/glance in the fourth picture. I ain't that dangerous. Don't laugh at my milkwhite legs and Birkenstocks!!! Not that bad, the bass, eh...?
  16. bassmayhem
    I'll get the missus to take a picture... ; Coming soon!
  17. bassmayhem
    ...and damn again... Just get it!

    Frankly, I don't really know how he made it, but I've never had to intonate the bass; it just works... Gunnar Davidsson said it is adapted for D'Addario string, but I've never used these. I have Foderas on, and it just works...

    I'd say it is a neck through, even if it does't show at the body end. The body is chambered, and I haven't had a peek inside, to be honest. The preamp is the two band EMG with cut/boost on bass and treble.

    I'll get some more. In a little while.

    I sell a very odd bass, a prototype made quite many years ago by the Swedish luthier/bassist Gunnar Davidsson. This was his first bass, so it has some mileage; the neck is nice and smooth with no dings, the body has some but not visible from "the audiences side". The bass is oiled - hard oiled, if you got my point. It almost feels like laquer. (Liberon finishing oil) The body is chambered and feels really big on your body, in a nice way. Maple neck thru, alder body wings and maple top. All contrasting wood is from an old chunk of bubinga. The neck profile is slim and comfortable, the machines smooth. Truss rod works flawlessly. uses a 5 mm allen key. (Not included!) The scale is somewhat unorthodox: 36.2", making this bass really sing... The bridge then... The bridge is nothing short of genious. You cannot intonate the bass, it is built and tweaked for D'Addario strings, says Gunnar Davidsson. The spacing is 17 mm. I've always had Fodera strings on, and they have intonated perfectly!!! The only thing you can adjust is the string height, the action. Now it is set to "as low as possible with as straight neck as possible without buzzing". Kinda like Anthony Jackson... The tone, then... I dare to say this is a six string long scale Stingray coming to tone. Gunnar Davidsson's self made wooden covered Stingray style pickup really makes sense in this bass. EMG two way tone controls are installed, so no passive options, even if I think it would be possible if you take the guts out... Delivered with a used but good set of extra Fodera strings in older gigbag. Can be shipped on buyers expense. More pic's in PM to serious buyers. No trades, please!

    This is my other Dingwall to sell: my beautiful Sklar, that has served me so well. I find I use my Super J5 and my four strings Super J and Super P most of the time nowadays, in our more bluesy acts. Anyway, the bass is in very nice condition, I think I dare to say as new... You all know what it is, so I wont bore you with a lot of tech stuff. The only thing to say is that the colour is a pain in the *ss to get right with a camera. My friend Simba the Cat made a serious quality check in the sunshine two years ago; I'd say the colour is more right in the indoors picture, but still not exactly right. Delivered in original gig bag with tools and new spare strings. Serious buyers can get close up pictures in private message. Can be shipped on buyer's expense. Very good condition! (Did I say that?) No trades, please!

    I sell two of my five Dingwalls, this is one of them: a super nice Voodoo Prima 6 from 2001 (as it was told to me...) Even if the model is "old" it has many of the features of modern Dingwall basses, like: - dual density body: walnut and alder - heavily quilted maple top and back, and matching headstock - A-tuner on the B-string - three band Bartolini system with three position mid switch, active/passive switching (no passive tone) - Dingwall´s four way pickup switching system - magnet lid over the batteries - wooden covered pickups - wooden knobs matching the body The tone is the best I've heard in any of my Dingwalls, from Jazz Bass-ish bridge via classic bass tones to full out piano-like tones. The bass is delivered in an older original gigbag or a Hiscox case for better shipping protection if wanted. With tools. Very good condition!!!
