    Dingwall vs. Other High end Luthiers? A short review and some discussion.

    Your points are well stated with respect to like and dislike and tone being a matter of opinion. What upset the Dingwall fanbase might have been the statement about "slappers stay[ing] away" which is sounds a lot more like a blanket statement about the entire brand. Dingwall is a small...

    4 string vs 5 string

    Seems like it depends on the music? Some stuff requires it. Other stuff doesn't need or seem much to benefit from it...

    B-52 Matrix-1000 V2...anyone?

    They sound surprisingly good. So long as you keep a decent amount below headroom you're okay. But be careful pushing them. They will still overheat after about 3 hours and you can destroy a speaker or blow an amp. I've got a couple sets I use regularly. Both are at B52 to be "looked at" for...

    Fitted Earplugs

    +1 Sensaphonics. I'd also mention that fitting is critical. Make sure the audiologist gets a deep impression and lots in the outer ear area so it stays put.

    UA 6176 vs UA LA 610 MIKII

    They are the most amazing front end I've ever used in or out of studios. I just incorporate a Distressor Compressor for funk stuff and turn the LA off cause it's a little slow for snapping. But for about anything else the phat is always there. As an aside. My son played in a touring band...

    Do you run a pre or post amplifier signal to the P.A.?

    Another bass player / FOH engineer. :o There are a few issues to sort out. - A bass amp reacts very differently than a PA does to EQ because a PA is much more sensitive to both high end and low end resolution. So bass players who eq their sound for good sound out of their bass amp are...
