[quote name='dood' timestamp='1489345959' post='3256241'] They won't fit the Dingwall 37" basses (e.g AB1) but will fit the Super P and Super J basses as they have a shorter scale length of 35" [/quote] The super long D'Addarios fitted the B string on my Combustion well enough with no silk hanging over. Are the Combustions different in some way as I thought Dingwalls were all 34" to 37" scale unless you otherwise requested?

I have a Cali II passive TT (J bass). Excellent Jazz clone with a great neck although note that it's not super skinny. Just ordered a VS (P bass) with custom paint job.

It is indeed a P/J setup. The J p/up is set quite close to the bridge, and I don't know for certain but ACG p/ups normally have ceramic magnets unless you ask for Alnico. I've not had a massive amount of quality bass time with this one yet but it definitely has a bit of bite to it in a good way. The EQ is stand John East (not a filter EQ on this bass) plus the benefit of an active/passive tone control so i think I'll get a wide range of tones to access. Nice and light too at a little over 8lbs. The bass also has the ACG/Newtone strings fitted which I've never had before so I'm interested to see what they are like compared to my normal D'Addario Nickel BT sets.

My Gen 2 Comact has 2 Speakons, but I think the corners are heavy duty plastic rather than steel. Bloody marvelous cab (along with my Midget) I've been gigging them for 7 or 8 years now. No thoughts of changing them at all.

I had to change a battery mid gig 2 weekends ago. No sweat I thought as the bass had on of those tilting battery compartments so it's 5 seconds of a job if that. I had an RS branded battery in my pocket (as I always do just in case). However once the RS battery was inserted the battery compartment wouldn't quite shut properly. Still no problem switched the bass to passive and off we went. When I got home I had the chance to investigate further. It turns out that the RS branded item that I had taken out of a pedal was about 1mm taller than the Duracells I routinely use. Needless to say these have been removed from my spares box.

I believe mine is a Gen 2, and I'm fairly sure there was a Gen 3 at least. I think it then morphed into the Super Compact. Could be completely wrong, I usually am

[/quote] Thanks, in the flesh it is truly stunning, the inlays are actually Ash like the body. Here's the link to the spec. http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0232-j-type-4-for-sale/

Picked this up today. My pic is one of my worst ever but included to prove it's here. [attachment=240593:ACG Custom J Type 2 01.docx.jpg] [attachment=240594:IMG_2121.jpg] [attachment=240595:IMG_2147.jpg] [attachment=240596:IMG_2148.jpg] [attachment=240597:IMG_2146.jpg]

Try the For Sale section here, often some really great bargains to be had if you don't mind pre-loved strings.

I'm hopefully picking up a Squier MB-5 today, generic image here: [attachment=240442:squier-mb-5-259000.jpg]

The single is a bit odd, some of the stuff on the programme was much more like it (I felt).

Anybody catch the doc on the new CD being recorded and due for release on 7th April? My copy now pre-ordered

Lovely bass. In my experience the Krell sits very nicely on your lap.

I have previously bought D'Addario singles for a Dingwall (albeit 5-string). Extra Long Scale for the B and E and Long Scale for the A to G strings, they worked fine.

Young Mr Karl has just acquired a P bass from me (who knew he liked them). Total gent as always.

Indeed I have a Cali II TT passive with a few mods. VS on order in a custom colour too

I'm sure I've seen a few 55-01s on Gumtree for less than that.

Keep 'em all and get more. You should be thankful that your YOB is not 1960, a YOB Jazz for me is rather out of reach sadly.
