    If you were going to change your rig, which would you change first, amp or cab?

    There is a noticeable difference if I swapped my Euphonic head and Darkglass head. Part of that is down to the features and tonal strengths of the amp. Whereas, I don’t think anyone would notice the difference between my Schroeder and Bergantino cabs.

    I believe it’s a 2010 but feel free to check the serial number in their system. I think it will give you the specs.

    SOLD Dingwall Combustion 5

    The bass is a little under 9 pounds. I don’t know about the process of converting it to a 3 pickup model, so I will have to plead the fifth on that one.

    Seriously! How do you guys manage having sooo many basses?!

    The short answer is that almost all basses have a different vibe or sound to them. Basses, even the same model and manufacturer, can feel and play differently. That being said, I've been on a bit of a spree lately because the used market is saturated (which I feel badly for because I know a lot...

    5 string with Bi-Sonic style pickups

    I assume you are referring to the Daguet Dagstar pickup. I’m wondering if any other builders are making their own pickups in this style.

    Is the Lakland J Sonic the only one in production?

    Looking for a very specific jazz bass

    I’m on board with graphite - in fact I prefer them. The question is, is there a Fender 5 string MIJ or CIJ with the graphite reinforcement on a 5 string?

    Looking for a very specific jazz bass

    I’ve had a Lakland and a G&L and not kept them. Haven’t come across a Sadowsky. I know there are dozens of basses that kind of fit my description - Sire V10, Modulus Genesis, Kiesel JB5, etc - but there is something about Fenders, particularly the MIJ and CIK basses, that appeal to me.

    Looking for a very specific jazz bass

    As mentioned, I’ve played but haven’t been impressed with the newer Am Fenders with the graphite rods. They don’t seem to have the same clarity as the JBR-1000. I’d love to try a Fender Heartfield, but they’re also very rare. I’m hoping that there is some late 80s early 90s Fender jazz style...

    Looking for a very specific jazz bass

    I guess I’m asking if Fender makes a 5 string that’s similar. I know there isn’t a five string version
