Haven't posted in a long time, but wanted to give an update. The T50 is still going strong, it's my main Classic rock bass. I'm using a 135 b string to give it a little more stiffness, but that's the only change I've made.

Here's what the Brice offers that is unique 1. set neck, which means amazing sustain. Never seen a bolt on next with this much sustain, including dingwall 2. Pickups routed in popular soapbar sizes, which makes them easy to customize. Always appreciate that about rondo. They make...

wow, didn't even notice that the scale was different between that and the defiant. That might explain the price difference why would they do that?

very interesting. After all of those mods last year, now they are offering an active version with standard soapbar pickups Link Removed those pickups don't look like 4 inch to me, I bet they are 4.5

nope. read this thread. I went through two different bridge plates to make it look better modding my T-40

I saw that, but I'm surprised 1/16th was enough to remove.

I'm interested...you mounted the Individual saddles directly on top of the bridge correct? Unless you sank the bridge into the body, wouldn't that cause a problem with the strings being too high? (unless you really like a high action)

OK, if you insist.. here's the thread with more information on all I've done to it. The 5 string mod starts on post 65 modding my T-40

Very nice job! I guess I can't say mine is the only t50 any more, but I ain't even mad.

gig pic. Loving this bass!

It's the combustion line that is made in China. Says so right on the website

One more interesting fact about the Defiant... it's not made in China. (like the Dingwall) It's made in South Korea, so if Chinese politics leaves you a little uneasy, the defiant is a better ethical choice

Fair enough, but honestly I'm shocked at how nice the Defiant is.

I'm wondering what you are basing that statement on. How many of these basses have you played? The frets are perfect on these basses, and even though I bought one with the intention of upgrading the pickups, honestly, the stock pickups were very nice. Given the choice between one of...

What i did one my Brice was to replace the pickups with 45DC pickups, which are wide enough so every string gets equal coverage for every pickup Modding my Fanned Fret Defiant | TalkBass.com
