So, why do people put that it sells for 550+ shipping when anyone can go to the site and see it sells for $540 shipped? I have seen this a few times recently. I just wont bid on a listing like that even if it is a good price, if they are willing to lie once...probably twice ya know.

Maybe he meant to say "$550 which included shipping"...who knows? Anywho, somebody got a really nice 2 X 10 enclosure for under $360....shipped!
I'm sick of hearing how every 5 banger on the used market is " the best sounding, playing, blah-blah 5 string I've ever owned".

BTW, I use an Acme B-4 and its a kickin' cabinet. Highly recommended.

PS: Let's just say a Dingwall has the greatest B string you'll ever play.

Maybe "playing like ass" is just how B strings feel.
