I might have to join you

Yh he is just on it, with breaking down a good groove

ahaha great to hear about the homemade cab! yh i love this era of solid state Traynor amps, such a great sound for the money

Agreed love the level of detail in goes into, find it adds to much to get a playthrough video

Yh was a real shame, obviously between the original owner and me some stuff is gonna happen, someone must of been jacking around with it, just was unlucky I believe. Bass Direct handled it well and sorted me out I walked away happy.

Haha thats how I found his videos doing research on The Nightfly album as its also one of my fav's!

No worries at all, it is fantastic content

you know that Thundercat episode is gonna be a killeeerrr

Probably super well known in here already as a No Treble columnist but thought this was worth its own thread. His content is super engaging, analytical, educational and really well put together, would recommend any bass player check out his videos. Also a KILLER upright/electric player and is a pleasure to listen to and watch in his videos. https://www.youtube.com/@pdbass

Was just reading this article, gotta say im excited.

Haha yh I agree, by the way all the 'signature' artists are jumping ship hopefully the whole Chapman guitar thing just dies an overdue death. I think worst of all, weaponising his fans against anyone is just so low and embarrassing he deserves nothing from the community. Agreed on KDH, loving the content.

Chappers is a total goose in my honest opinion, as toxic as it was, ChappersGate was a very interesting time for the guitar community. With Riffcity and Levi Clay chiming in support of KDH with there own experiences, and just the amount of people and companies coming out the woodwork was astonishing, was a fantastic investigatory piece (granted he could of gone about some stuff a different way in some bits but overall great video). Then the now legendary My Truth video of Chappers responding to the claims and him coming off like a total clown, talk about digging your own grave. Laughable stuff. I still watch KDH's videos to this day and find he makes some great content. The Stevie T video being another highlight of someone that seriously needs to be cancelled.

Thats no fun, I contacted them in 2019 about a new pickguard for my bass on the below email and they got back to me same day, likely the same email address you have already emailed but i'll pasted it here if it can benefit anyone else looking on in the future; [email protected]

Cheers! Definitely lost in the juju in that one haha

I usually love Ritter stuff but gotta say this one really isnt for me, that fretboard would both mesmerise and confuse if I was to play it

yh that is a cracking looking rig, and an awesome tattered P-bass, bet this ripsssssss, thanks for sharing

Love how dinged up this is! Bet it looks wicked on the board

Commenting to follow, always liked the look of these Vincent basses, keen to see what people are saying

I always think of that film Evolution starring David Duchovny haha

yh seee thats the other side of it I never saw until after i'd got out of the one track mind, what Sklar does with the Dinger is unreal, a true pioneer

nollynollynollynolly hahha no for real its a great sound and all that but yh defo got a bit boring for me, each to there own!

I met Sheldon Dingwall couple of years ago, he was very pleased that I get funky with my Dingwall, bless him! thats rad, i have him Facebook and wishes me happy birthday every year, never met the dude but what a guy!

haha see disco, dingwalls and darkglass never crossed my mind in those days, had a very one track mind of just being a metal guy but have since broadened my horizons massive and could see how that would be an awesome combo!

Hmmm I play a 5 string Trace Elliot T-Bass as my main bass as the lowest I need to tune is B standard, back when I had the Dinger's, I was playing in drop F sharp or something insane, which meant I needed that extended range for the tension in the low tuning. Also used the Dinger in drop A shortly after and was great but by then I could get away with the Ibanez BTB 35' inch so no need for the Dinger anymore. Absolutely love a Stingray and owned a few myself over the years. For me as well, in the metal scene I was part of at the time, everyone had a Dingwall Combustion going into a Darkglass pedal, and it just got really borinngggg. Everyone sounded the same, now dont get me wrong it was a GREAT sound, but once everyone had it there was nothing original about turning up to a metal show with that set up. Sooo just to be a bit different I stopped playing that stuff all together to separate myself from just being a copy paste of everyone else, does that sorta make sense? Not saying I ever got as good a tone as the Dingwall/Darkglass days but at least I was trying to do my own thing. I dont know just my 2 cents on that haha.
