What's up with it ? My solution to such a terrible situation would be to have 2.

Always been into 5 strings since I was a nu-metal teenager 25 years ago, and this has not changed. I've had pretty much every popular 4 string going and always find myself going for something more modern (and 5/6 string), the 'traditional basses' just don't work for me overall. Although I do have a P with flats for occasional use.

I am a total fanboy for Dingwalls so am going to big them up, however that is BECAUSE of the B string. For clarity and harmonics, I think nothing beats them.

I had both briefly. The JT definitely covers some sounds but due to scale length and pickup type/positions does sound different. Would both be beneficial ? Not in my opinion if just about tones - the JT can do similar sounds but obviously has a very different feel. If you want a shorter than 37" scale for 'easier' reaches then yes, it could be useful. n.b. I kept the SP1

Late response, but I have the bag, all 3 of the EVOs fit.

Kind of, but they won't fit your EHB. Dingwall's are rounded and there's a sweet spot for anchoring. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/dingwall-fd3n/

It looks like a lot like my 2005 MIM - they definitely don't spray the under pickguard part to 20 cents or something #everylittlehelps

Subjective experience is totally valid. Mine is that unless it has at LEAST a 35", the B string lacks clarity/harmonics. I have also had 35" basses with a mediocre B however, which does suggest the scale length alone is not a guarantee.

Had my SP1 almost 2 months, the B string is outstanding (just not quite as good as a 37), however the multiscale means the higher strings still have warmth and aren't at all 'pingy'. I still have my D-Roc for the heavier side of things.

I think the coincidentally humorous name was not an issue for musicians.
