I’ve owned two new black tiger 6ers, and three used 635’s. I’ve sold both Smith’s, 2 of the MTD’s but I want moooaaarrr MTD’s. They occupy two completely opposite spectrums the ‘typical’ bass players eq spectrum. Smith: Focused low mids to upper high mids. The ‘ping’. MTD: Sub low and highs in...

Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh buddy! That’s definitely the right spot for some pics of Stormy Z, stunning. I’ll miss having a smash around on the boi every once and awhile, but very awesome to know you’ll be hammering on it often instead of it sitting in it’s case 90% of the time it was with me. It was a...

Thank you! Oops yeah the issue was in the right hand. Plucking fingers were fine but any side movement of the wrist sent lightning through my thumb, so braced it up and packed in playing until the inflamed tendons calmed down. That was after the stretching and steroid shot didn’t stop the...

Sorry that I’m no help regarding Dingwalls specifically, but wanted to express my sympathies for your hand issues. I had a long bout with de quervain's tenosynovitis in 2017, in which the only cure turned out to be not play at all for almost 6 months. That said, I’ve been playing 5 & 6 string...

Gotcha bud👍🏼I’ll be sure to post pics once the transformation is complete! Enjoy your lovely JO5.

Your headstock has the 3/8” machines right? That’d be the same as mine. Unless you’re speaking to the look of the lollipops on a bass with the 55-94 body shape… which we’ll find out how that looks in a bit haha

AHHHH thank you for this pic!! Looks awesome! I bought a 2008 55-94 just before Christmas with a dinged up burgundy mist body I’ll be sending in for a Tahitian coral refinish soon, and had the idea rattling around of doing the lollipop replacement thing but couldn’t find a 5-string example. I’m...

Heh thank you. I’m pretty sure I was looking at a lot of Alleva Coppolo’s at the time I put this order in, and thought it’d be a stupid little thing I’d ask the shop to do for me (among a few other things)

Born almost in time to get here & be put under the tree… But this is as close as I can get 🎅🏻 Needing it’s plek treatment then ships out for the long trip to Sydney early ‘25. Excitement mode commence to be a Roscoe owner again! Merry Christmas all!

Noice! Great to hear about Elrick also. I’ve never dealt personally with him, but have a Platinum 6 built by him and it’s phenomenal.

Isn’t Pierre great? I purchased the colour shift Sklar a month or two ago from him. Super efficient to deal with. Congrats on the DRoc! I want a Ducati white something, just not sure what yet…

Incredible, thanks for sharing that most interesting info! All the best with yours, I’ll take care of the sibling just fine :D

Oh, wow! Firstly, your own ABII is stunning. I’ve always loved when they reveal the contrast layer underneath the top in the ‘F hole’ design. The time and intricacy involved must be maddening. Second: If I understand your post correctly, you were the original owner of my ‘new’ ABII? If so...

Thanks. The ABII was on reverb recently in Spain for an insane price. They’re pretty cool guys to hang out with :bassist:

Cousins from other mousins?! The whole gang, a new challenger approaches!
