Could potentially be open to Canadian Dingwalls to trade. Afterburner 1 or 2 or Z most likely!

Really nice looking bass I love that colour.

Mine isn’t a CW but it has the same pickup spacing. I think they just sound a little warmer than a S2.

 

I think this might have actually been mine at one point! 

Brilliant bass!

Just having a random moan about living in the sticks, relatively speaking.

 

For excrement and amusement I had a look at bass guitars within a 100km radius of Aberdeen on FB Marketplace.  This yielded a choice of... 20.  And which one would I buy?  I'd rather just keep the one I'm trying to sell right now.  How pathetic is that?

 

Just a random Monday grumble for you.  How abundant (or pathetic) is your local bass marketplace?

I feel your pain. I get the same ones as you 😅 what is it you’re selling?

I just stick with Bassbros, bass direct, richtone and guitar guitar (though their prices have went absolutely stupid).

I just grabbed one of these about 2 weeks back and I’m genuinely amazed at how brilliant it is. 
 

It has rekindled my interest in Dingwall basses (after owning several NGs and an Afterburner).

If this was headless my brain would be frazzled ,and I would be very upset due to lack of funds at this particular time 🥵

It’s a Status and they are fantastic , as is this bass !  Keep this and sell the stingray instead 😁

Oh it’s absolutely glorious! When I opened the case to snap pics i did massively consider just keeping it. 
 

Still have another CW which won’t go anywhere! ☺️ 
 

Hi folks. 
Thinking of selling my CW-2. According to Dawn @ Status - this was initially built/allocated for Chris Wolstenholme himself. Colour is Genesis Aurora - a brilliant purple/blue switch. It’s got red front LEDs too.

Dawn advised that they only made 2 other CW-2s in Genesis aurora finish, both were headless 5 strings with white LEDs. So, this apparently might be the only 4 string in this finish/LED combo to even exist. I can fire over the email from her too that confirms this. 
 

I absolutely love this bass, but I’m preferring my stingrays at the moment. It’s far too good to be left in a case. 

I can’t see any marks on it. The colour shift is amazing. 
 

Based in Aberdeen, Scotland. Happy to consider shipping (I have a few boxes left from recent purchases). Probs UK only I’m afraid. 
 

Given the above info and recent CW-2 sold prices - I’m thinking £3,850.

PS - forgot to stick a post it on the bass. Sorry.

When venues comp drinks and entrees for the band they're off to a good start .

Man, I’d love that. I end up spending so much on soft drinks (I don’t drink pre gig and usually am driving anyway). Free entry for the wife would be lovely too.

After the recent updates, GAS took hold… I’ve an Anagram arriving on Monday.

Hoping to use the scenes plus midi binding to get more options too. 

We played a charity gig last night. Furthest one from home (about 1.5hrs). 40 min set in a town hall. 
 

can’t say it was mobbed but it was pretty fun. 
 

Used dark ray into my QC and the sound guy was chuffed. Random amp onstage for DI (which was set flat). Some weird screaming from my IEMs and my guitarist seemed to lose his guitar in his mix. We haven’t figured why…

Overall, happy! 

That’s made me consider grabbing one again ha. 
 

If they add more scenes with midi, defo worth a look again!

Aaaw, wow! Thank you for those kind words and I'm glad I could be of help 👍 Does that mean you can say "truss rod adjustment" without breaking out in a sweat? 🤣🤣

Defo man. I’ve even taken your advise with the yoga mat!

Meant to post sooner. Mike was awesome and invited my to his house to teach me how to actually setup my basses - including stuff that scared the bejesus.

Super patient and amazing. I’m now rocking what he taught me on my other basses.

Brilliant dude, great coffee and great craic.

How do you know these things???? 😮 No, really....where can I find this info as I only seem to find out after releases / updates and have no idea of whats coming up?

They had mentioned midi was in progress a while back. Then posted this today. I’m making an educated guess 😂😂😂

So I've come to the conclusion that the Anagram is not for me.  It's good, but I'm a little underwhelmed by the range of effects and I foresee issues with its usability in a live situation.

 

Anyone know how to do a factory reset so I can send it back? 

I don’t think there’s a factory reset per se. 
 

there’s a new update due tomorrow which will likely improve MIDI (presuming).

I find the Suite a bit clunky and not that intuitive but have got used to it. I've not tried to create any patches in the Suite....is this a function as Ive not really looked? 🤷‍♂️ All my patches have been created directly on the Anagram as its so easy. I hope you persevere and get used to it as it is a great unit.

The suite is awful IMO. Fine for loading NAM profiles and IRs… but not much else. 
 

Hopefully Darkglass fix it. They’ve been good with updates so far.

Is the Anagram a better option than a used Quad Cortex which is perhaps 2 to 300 quid more?

I had an anagram (and pretty much every other modeller it seems) and I keep coming back to the QC. Even with parallax now available, I still prefer the tone I’ve made and I’ve yet to find something elsewhere that sounds as good to me. But I do run a complex chain on the QC tbf.

Anagram is great and probs would have done the job for most instances. I preferred it to the Fractal FM3 and Kemper stuff. But didn’t knock the QC off. Size of the anagram is ace. 
 

I would try both if you can. 

Decided to withdraw this. I’ve got one of the active limited (7/25) so they can stay together. 😊

I’ve just bumped the sellers thread for the Warwick 5 string . Interesting to see  the response. 
I am a tad surprised that nobody advised me to keep ,and downtune the bass I already have ..

I’d probs do this, especially if it’s a bass you actually like. 
 

I prefer my 4 strings drop tuned rather than 5 strings personally (A# standard for me)

Not my vibe - but one for the flash gits among us 😂

 

 

I am so tempted by these.

I’m convinced it was the drummers cymbals that caused my tinnitus

I had an offshore medical when I was younger - like 21/22. The doctor was hugely worried when my hearing test said I was absolutely obliterated in certain frequencies… which marred up to the drummers cymbals. Hearing is still pretty goosed!

This is an amazing price nowadays. 

Another vote here for Emubands. 
 

Sold Sam a Darkglass Anagram. Supremely rapid payment and even sent extra to cover me undercharging the postage. 
 

Great guy and would proper recommend!

Let's pimp my originals band - The Inevitable Teaspoons

 

We're a five piece band based in NE Scotland (Aberdeen city and shire).  We have no guitarist - we're not anti-guitar, that's just how it ended up.  Instrumentation is drums, bass, keys, trombone, sax.  We formed when some of us quit another band but still wanted to play with most of the rest of the old band.  Frankly I don't know what pithy 1 or 2 word genre name can be applied to us.  Not trying to be obtuse, but I genuinely die a little inside when I get asked "what kind of music do you play?"  Umm, spoony music?  Sorta ska, but played kinda straight like rock?  I dunno.

 

We gig very infrequently because we're shy and lazy.  We usually play the places in Aberdeen which do originals bands - Cafe Drummond and Krakatoa, but have gigged further afield before - I think we've played in Perth a couple of times.  Right now we're doing some DIY recording in our rehearsal room, hoping to put an album together this year.  We have one EP and one album already released.

 

Here's a very old video.

 

 

Remind me about September! Basschat get together aberdeen volume 2 😂

Liking this a lot!

 

OoI what do you do about the keyboard parts when you gig?

Backing track with laptop (which controls our IEM mixes and click track) which outputs to a DI 😊
 

we did consider a keyboard player, but everyone we spoke with was a bit weird. We decided the synth and band was better as the 4 of us.
