I'm commiting some thread necromancy, because the same wild idea (putting flats on a Dingwall) crossed my mind lately. How have you been getting on with the flats? How does the Dingwall sound with it, and what are you using it for? Cheers!

New Bass Day was a while ago, but I got my hands on a 2025 white D-Roc 5 Standard. Modified with Hipshot licensed tuners (Just like the look of them better), a string bar for the middle three strings and neckillusions in black. Love this instrument. Which leads me to a question: I would like...

Thanks for the answer. New year's vacation got in the way of things, but I have lowered the pickups to the required height. It seems to have helped the wah-like phasing sound. Onto the next problem. I can hear weird atonal overtones when I pluck the strings at different frets. I tried to put...

No, but I rarely play down at the last fret either. When I hold the string down around the 7-8th fret (where I usually play), the height over the pickups doesn't change much. Holding down on the 24th fret, the height gets a lot less, of course.

Yep, it's there.

lowered the pickups some more, reseated the strings. It's a little better but not much. Funny thing: I have a second EHB1005MS with bartolini PUs and it does kinda the same. I'm beginning to believe it might be my plucking? 😬

Hello Bass folks, I have an Ibanez EHB1505MS which has the old string phasing sound issue that is driving me nuts. I've attached a soundfile where I pluck the open strings. The A and E strings are the worst offenders, sounding like an auto-wah effect on the bass. (The recording is neck pickup...

Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my current FX Setup as I'm not quite happy with the choices and sounds it gives me. I'm currently using a Boss ME-50B (yeah, old stuff) into a markbass little tube. It's okay, but... lacking. I'm looking to upgrade to a modern Multi-FX, maybe a modeler, maybe a...

Is there any love still for the old "Soundblox Pro" Pedals? I have pulled two of these, the Multiwave Bass Distortion and the Bass Envelope Filter out of the closet and dont quite know what to do with them. The sounds these things create are crazy, but way over the top for what I do realistically...

Thanks for all your recommendations. It seems all of these Boxes work for the tasks at hand... Hard decisions..:eyebrow:

Hello folks. I have some recording coming up in a few weeks. I'm already getting a nice and dirty sound from my Peavey T.B.Raxx, but I also want a really nice clean sound. I've looked into some DI Boxes and have found these two that I really like and that are in my price range: Markbass...

Hey, long tome no post! So let's have a live Pic :) Link Removed

Long time no post! Coming back with some stage goodness, showing off my NS-5H2 :D Pic taken at Metal Invasion Festival, Straubing, Germany, by shoother.net

Whoopsa, sorry guys. Was out of order for a little while. Lets get back to business! Sorry for the delay! LimaGuy, you're #225. Trace if you want to, you can take over. This isn't a presidency after all. :smug: Updated 6-13-2011, 00:00 GMT 1. Spector Ray 2. Double Agent 3...

My Vote goes to Simo. Why? Well, ALL these builds were so great I had a hard time choosing which one to pick. Kev with the DIY vibe and the nice electronics drawer, Big B with the completely over-the-top glue madness, Barnaclebeau with his good planning and own preamp. Just to name a few...
