    Too bad it looks like the shell pink short scale 4 string was discontinued? The 30-32 scale 5 string model looks super interesting, hope i can lay hands on one to try out sometime.

    Maybe Im coming off as aggressive, but it was just a silly joke, not trying to make an argument lads.

    Yeah that was the point of omitting them. I dont disagree with the comment as a whole, that one line is just an objectively funny thing, to say something is a copy except for basically its entire physical design. Coke is just like Orange juice except for the Taste and Texture

    Back mounted and upwards tilted jacks are super handy actually, harder to pull out by stepping on a cable, tuck up around the strap nicely. Ive had a few ormsbys that used a similar position, it works well No truss rod cover is an upcharge because it requires someone to manually interrupt CNC...

    For the love of god, I hope ibanez starts doing some of these in proper gloss finishes. Meh on the satins in general, and the open pore raw tone stuff on the wood/burl tops really isnt my bag. Bet they would really pop with a gloss finish on.

    Oh, never posted updates with the new pickups and wiring! Took a little routing to clean up the pickup routes and slightly widen them for the Barts, i think we also sunk dowels in under where the screws went to lift em up more and have a bit more meat for the screws. electronics, big switch is...

    Curious, what about this would make it better for sight reading?

    Dingwall has priced themselves out of reach for the average Bassist or are the really worth it ?!

    Are you talking about the Korean GTR line? Because I dont think any of those apply to those. And for what they are, they are priced pretty great.

    If Im being honest with myself, I'd probably be happier with a 4 string, despite loving 7 string guitars Ive found going from 7 to 6 on guitar, and 5 to 4 on bass to be much more natural. But I'd still be very interested in a 5 string multiscale, but IMO the least attractive finishes are on the...

    Im surprised that the pearl white 4 strings arent more popular, they are lovely looking, imo better than the seafoam or black of the 5 strings. Maybe by the time I am in the market for another bass(after i get a new neck for my SS, and my Ormsby 7 string guitar arrives), Ibanez will have some...

    The 6 string colour is by far the best looking colour for the EHB's, i like that it doesnt have a really thick burst around it either, you can see the body wood on the arm comfort cut. Really unfortunate that the two best exotic finishes(Black Ice and Dragon Eye) arent available on their most...

    Damn I wish that orangeish burst colour was available on the multiscale models. Or the grey scale 6 string colour !

    Incoming, ordered a pair of Bartolini Original M44C soapbars off reverb, will be wiring them up for series, parallel and split coil with 2 small 3 way toggles. Feel i got a decent price on them, really not much out there for soapbars that are even close in dimensions to these odd ducks(hamer...
