    dUg is my bass hero. Has been since I first saw King’s X in 1990 and saw a guy who played bass slung low and left handed just like me. I don’t have it slung low nowadays but I’m still a lefty 😉

    I also have to drop D (C#) for several songs (although I have a Hipshot for that) and I have to drop it down to B for 1 song so I need a quick accurate tuner. No plans to lose the Zoom yet - it’s a great pedal - I love the SVT sim and the Tubescreamer sim.

    No excuse not to get one now since I’ve been seeking the dUg tone since 1989!

    Quick question re: the tuner - is the reference pitch adjustable or is the tuner fully chromatic? My band tunes down half a step so the tuner on my TC amps are useless. I’m looking at the dUg as a replacement for my Zoom B3n which has a great chromatic tuner.

    Any idea on timescale and prices?

    Any idea what this cab weighs? Is it the 8ohm version? I does look like a great one cab solution. I’m pretty close (Livingston) but like Dave, I’d need to sell some other gear.....

    Awesome looking bass and I bet it sounds and plays beautifully. I played a fretless Wal in Sound Control in Glasgow in about 1989. It was lovely and less than a grand. I kinda regret not buying it but I was rubbish with fretless so probably for the best. Sadly out of my price range now. :-(

    Whereabouts are you based?

    Tease.

    That’s nice. Unusual colour too. Shame you’re at the other end of the country.

    You can never have too many Barefaced cabs CJ but sadly the logistics would not be practical with me being so far away now. Good luck with the sale anyway.

    Hey CJ. Fancy seeing you here. ;-)

    I saw this one. Looks like a decent fixer upper. If only I hadn’t just bought a brand new Stingray......

    Whereabouts are you, Mike?
  15. kevham
    That is a thing of beauty. GLWS.

    Our singer uses one. Looks odd. But no 'odder' than my lefty bass. No one cares once the party gets going. After my bum notes last night, I could probably do with getting a stand too....... ;-)

    Thread resurrection. I finally took the plunge and bought the Stingray last week. Loving it so far. :-)

    I've bought a few Hipshot products via BD over the last year. Mostly straightforward with only one 'hiccup'. I would use them again but I think they can probably improve their order tracking and communication with customers.

    Interesting. I too play in a rock covers band and use a pair of Two10s with a TC BH500. I am looking to downsize the amp and this wee Ampeg is on my list along with the TH350 and the Tech21 VT Bass (which I had originally bought but was dead on arrival). To be honest, the two cabs are overkill much of the time but they do look the business and are still fairly easy to transport.

    [quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1507824628' post='3388244'] Did you have the scratchplate made? [/quote] Yes - Jacks Instrument Services in Manchester. Really good fit and nice quality. Not cheap but I couldn’t find an off the shelf plate that worked. Plus I reckoned a quality scratch plate would make the whole guitar look just that bit more pukka.

    Here is my project Squier P Bass that I bought for £120. I've added a Hipshot tuners and a Hipshot extender, a hipshot Kickass bridge and a custom black scratchplate. The bass plays really nicely and I plan to rewire it and maybe change the pickups at a later date. [url=https://flic.kr/p/ZhUuPy][/url]

    I took the plunge and put one on my Squier P bass. It has slightly improved sustain and the tone of the E string but the biggest improvement for me is that it is more comfortable for my picking hand when playing with a pick. Plus, I like that I can fine tune the string spacing. Definitely worth £60 on a budget bass in my book.

    I've been considering one of these for my project Squier P bass. I love Hipshot products - quality, well engineered. Nice to see a Kickass on an actual bass - it does look quite 'big' on that Aria. Is the body smaller than a Fender?
  24. kevham
    I have one of these (a left handed one). It has a through neck and a fingerboard which is synthetic (Phenolic). I had a close look at mine and all the frets are the same - I suspect that your example has been molested, maybe because of the fret buzz? My bass suffered some damage whilst in storage for many years but is quite playable now after a very mild tweek on the truss rod. I use heavier strings on it (I think 105s). I note you are in Scotland - I am too - I would be happy to meet up and compare if you need to? PM me.
