Mine was a Peavey Minx 110. As the designation suggests, single 10” speaker, and 35 watts of GROUND POUNDING POWER, lol!!!!! It was terrible, but did the job until I could scrape together the pennies for something a little nicer…… : )

Here’s my contribution; Cort EVL Z4-B; the only way it could be any blacker (does anyone else remember that Athlete’s Foot ad?? “Got any blacker??”) is if she had an Ebony fretboard rather than the Rosewood. Still my go-to after 13-odd years of ownership!!

Never owned one, and don’t really have the inclination (or coin!!!) to change that.

It’s possible that I just messed myself a little!!! Soooo jealous right now - I’d give my left nut for one (and possibly my right, too!!). Gorgeous, gorgeous axe, bro.

Fodera, Alembic, Zon, Lakland, Sadowsky, Dingwall & Jens Ritter. At least I can say I’ve held and played a Warwick, lol!! I’ve been in the same room as a Lakland, but that’s as close as I’ve got to any of them!!!

Just wondering what bass related ink my fellow TBers are rocking?? I’ll start - I call it my “Skullbass,” and it’s one of my own instruments in a custom design by my artist. It’s positioned on my left calf, and I had planned to turn it into a full sock of the different instruments I play, until...

Easy. D I N G, D I N G, D I N G WALL and DINGWALL is her name-O, lol!!! A Custom Shop fanned fret 5 would do me nicely, and hopefully leave me enough pocket change for a shiny new Darkglass rig to play her through........

Mine has definitely worsened, but then I took a swan dive off my front steps five weeks ago tomorrow and fractured my right arm quite badly in three places right where my humerus joins my shoulder, so I have a pretty good reason as to why I haven’t touched a bass in that time...... :-/

I don’t have a problem with it; whereas I don’t own 5 (currently 3, but with a 12 string acoustic and 6 string LTD electric too!!), each bass fulfills a different role, and I only really play for myself; I haven’t been a member of an active band for around 5 years or so; mainly due to work and...

I can’t speak for the Dingwall or the Cort, but a mate owns the Ibanez 5 string FF and let me have a noodle on it - I was surprised by how quickly I adapted to the neck; easily within the first minute of picking it up. The extra scale length gave the B a really tight, defined sound; all over I...

Quietly planning a custom build. A string-thru, neck-thru 35” scale Fretless 5 string. Chambered Pawlonia body, maple burl cap with matching headstock, lined ebony fretboard, running Dominger Carburator passive pups. Basically combines the elements I love in my current two basses into the one...

Korg Pitchblack or TC Electronic?? My Pitchblack is awesome!! : )

I’m not a huge pedal buyer (I’m poor, lol!!!) - I took the lazy (and cheaper!!!) option and run a Boss ME20-B multiFX. That said, I treated myself to an Eden WTDI pre-amp/DI earlier this year, and I have to say I’m blown away by how much depth and variation it has brought to my tone - I couldn’t...

I went with “Other”. I’ve never made a red cent from playing music (for over 30 years now) - I do it because I enjoy it, for no other reason than that. If we all got into it to make some coin, there’d be A LOT of starving muso’s out there........

Hi all!!! I’m currently planning a custom build, and my luthier has steered me towards Dominger Pickups. After several messages with Joce Dominger, he’s recommended a set of his Carburator Humbuckers to suit what I want to do. I live in Australia, and as such can’t get my hands on any to try...
