One of my original bands tunes 1/2 step up at the singer's request. She found the existing melodies a tad low for her voice when she joined. When I joined I just tuned one of my Dingwall basses up 1/2 step with stock strings, which does work and I'd recommend for the feeling out process...

My interest is peaked. Full tube 30W with a built-in two note Torpedo - meaning cab sim on the DI plus it can function without a cab.

Back when I was drumming I once forgot the drum throne. Not fun playing a 3 hour set on a wooden stool. Also, I once punched large holes in my belt to use as a strap.

Try playing standing (if you're not already) and engaging your abs. The reasoning (straight from a physiotherapist specialised in rehab for musicians) is focusing on a core muscle should encourage the rest of your body to remain relaxed.

Some of you may have seen my new pickguard by Alperious already but I haven't posted it here yet : And there's what I was recording :)

Thanks for clarifying. In my defense, my source for stating the Standards aren't compound is your website. *likeliness to place an order has just increased

The Hellboy has the compound radius - not the standard. By the way Dingwall's compound has alway seemed excessive to me (25''/7.5'' = 3.33 so the string spacing should be over 3x wider at the bridge than at the nut, which it isn't). I asked Sheldon about it during a live Q&A months ago where he...

I don't think it's mumbo jumbo as they discontinued full on lines a few years ago for that very reason. I've never had any issue with the lined fretless they made me, but if there's a chance of it happening and they have a fix for it why not?

Surprising since compound radius allows for lower action without buzzing (radius at heel/radius at nut should yield the same as strings spacing at heel/strings spacing at nut for even action throughout). But also good to know as the lack of compound radius is one of the main reasons I haven't...

No but if you ask nicely enough they will provide some of their shells to Nordstrand, who can build most of their pickups in there

I've seen it done to pots that were out of the desired tolerance

It's standard on Zs and an expensive option on Supers. I don't think it's available on ABs though you could ask.

It's much harder to keep that in check with a lot of drive. You should be muting each string at more than one point - the more contact you make the better. Rest (or "float") your right thumb on the lowest strings, use several fingers of your left hand... whatever is not actively used to play...

While not as refined I bet it's a perfectly functional low end machine - plus if the build quality is solid, mods are a fun way to make it your own. I could see a stain on this one.

I don't have a bed, a sofa nor adequate lighting in the office where it was delivered. I could however hop out the window onto this rooftop with plenty of sunlight.
