Woody just acquired my Dingwall Combustion 5. Super quick payment, plenty of PMs, super bloke to deal with. Highly recommended BCer. Thanks for a very easy transaction.

Good balance, easy to play (asymmetric neck, zero radius(flat) fretboard) and simple controls. Vol,pickup selector and tone.[/quote] Can't speak for the 5ers, but all this applies to ACG four string basses.

Interesting question. My ACG basses will not be sold as they were my choices. All are played regularly. I do have a 'rental type bass' which is great as I get to try loks of different basses without breaking the bank or being divorced (or worse). I occasionally make a bit of money on a sale and sometimes loose a bit, but it works for me.

My experience limited to three basses between the brands:[list] [*]Warwick Corvette Std. (2009 MIG) - nice bass but ultimately not that keen on the shape. [*]Spector Legend 4 (first series with the P/J pickups) - My first 'proper' bass so I have a soft spot for it, somebody on here I think is the current keeper. [*]SSD (Spector) NS-94 - Bought on here; mid to late 90s instrument when Spector were having issues using the name in the USA [/list] Of the three I think my favourite was the NS-94 for the really creamy tones, the only thing I couldn't get on with was the painted neck. I guess that makes me a Spector man by 2:1 although I have played Mr Bagsieblue's arsenal of Warwicks and he has some lovely basses.

Yep, sorted it from home PC. Looking forward to the CD...

Love your stuff and have a couple of your CDs. Just tried to do my thing but having trouble with the Paypal option. It maybe the work filters but will try later at home.

I struggle to see how it would make a discernable difference on a fretted bass when at the end of the day your fingers are putting pressure on a string to jam it onto a fret. I guess you can feel a bit of the board at each side, maybe more so with the narrower gauge strings. But if you play with a light touch then I guess less so. On a fretless I think it does make a difference in feel. FWIW My two fretted basses have acrylic impregnated maple boards. Dead easy to clean if they get a bit grubby. Look nicer than rosewood for me although YMMV

Thanks for that, technology impaired person here.

You're welcome to try my Dingwall, but it has got 4 knobs and probably 18mm spacing so may not be what you're after at all really

For plebs like me that don't have a smartphone, let alone an iphone could these files be converted to something like a jpeg please?

No idea, but surely it's only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it? Just like our very own F/S section
