Yep - the Wal doesn't sound so great.

I really like dropping in there and having a chat, but his asking prices are typically about double what I'd consider top-end.

I posted a pic of it in the FB Rickenfakers group back in August; it wasn't cheap.

...and that someone is certainly not me! 🙂

Well, if you buy off Aliexpress you do have to keep your wits about you and I certainly don't believe the branded products for sale there are genuine. However, with eBay you pay a buyer's premium (sorry, "Protection Fee"); I'd raise a dispute, citing them bein fake/not as described. Similarly, if you buy something on Amazon and a fake turns up then there's recourse by contacting their CS via chat/callback. As for Hercules wall hangers, I think there were issues with them a while back and I wouldn't have them anyway. That said, they are often used in shops.

I’ve seen Guy Pratt with his Spector. And his pink Fender.

But he said that the Rickenbacker is the best bass.

So, is relicing one equivalent to scratching your ass?

Sounds perfectly rational to me. Oh, and bloody "influencers"!

I sometimes respond with "I don't know, so I'll just sod off then!".

Curious. Did you get my reply to your dm? I just added @cetera to that conversation.

I've received the pm and replied.

TBH Country is so formulaic that it doesn't surprise me it could be auto-generated.

I hadn't heard of them before this one. I thought they were doing Northern Lights with this one. And I wonder if they've heard Kayleigh? https://youtu.be/2FHhMS43fjY

Yes - I played his Dingwall last weekend at the Bass Bash. He also brought along his Sandberg (a black fretless) and said he's really not playing it and so was looking to sell it.

I'm not sure if the word it out, but at the SE Bass Bash Chris Childs said he's selling his Sandberg fretless. I had a quick go on it and it's a really nice bass (but I don't need another fretless).

I had one; the neck is wider to keep the string spacing. I would've preferred it to have a narrower neck and closer strings.

I have to say I played another Dingwall recently and it sounded a bit generic.

And I liked it! 🙂

It was nice to play. He says that he just takes that along to sessions now rather than 4 basses. It's got a block of three pickups which can be switched into various combinations.

I'm thinking about buying one like Chris Childs'.

Hehe - it's just you mentioned Ian Hill...

Is it tuned BEAD?

Sure - just thinking aloud about how many cabs we could fit on a stage! Maybe a bass horn too!!! (Only kidding; yep, great to meet!)
