    For sale Dingwall NG2 2017 - Ducati Orange

    I’ve owned a dozen Dingwalls and this has been my absolute favorite of them all. It is currently set up with Payson Flats which gives it incredible flexibility imo. In passive mode I have plenty of bark when I need it, but in Active mode, I roll off the high mid and low mid, add a smidge of bass...

    Source Audio Sorcerers Society (S.A.S.S) Part 3

    I have owned dozens of envelope filters and sold them all. From EBS to Mutron. The one I kept happened to be the original BEF. Let it go when I got the Spectrum but wish I had kept it. Never thought I'd seriously consider a digital envelope filter yet the BEF made a believer out of me...

    Giannini Jazz bass copy? GB-1

    Its 2024 and this thread is still useful. Hard to find first hand experiences regarding these basses but I know if someone in the U. S owned one of these basses there would be some discussion here. Thanks.

    Recent experience with Zon Guitars (do your research before buying)

    They asked you to send it to them. More than once.

    What is the biggest POS bass you have played?

    A Series 10. Black P/J connfiguration. Got it in the early 90s. My first bass. Paid $30 & a pack oof Marlboros for it. Guy got the smokes and almost took off without the cash. I think he got the better end of the deal. Horrible bass. Went from that to a Peavey T-40 which I let go for almost...

    The Official Hartke Club Part 2

    I have had an HD75 for years now and I kinda love it. Thought I would sell it when I bought my Orange but I didnt. I can get the cops to show up with it and I'm not exactly living in the city. More than enough amp for the house. Was gonna get a head and cab but they would just be pushing...

    Bass Cables - Which ones are worth it?

    I bought a couple Planet Waves American Stage cables a while back and love em. I have a bunch of other cables of various brands lying around but the planet waves always work. I've had to do minor repairs on most the other brands. The Pig Hogs had some poppers,too. For what its worth,I have an...

    Resources for learning how to solder?

    I bought a set of wire connectors that are essentially plaatic tubes with a ring of solder in the center. You slip the ends of the wires you wish to onnect into the ends and use a heat gun to solder/shrink wrap the wires all at once. Its handy,although soldering two wires together is the easiest...

    Resources for learning how to solder?

    The PDF file in my previous post is a manual for anyone getting started on soldering. Its a skill you can only really learn by doing it yourself but the PDF I attatched in the earlier post is a good book for beginners. I also have other books in PDF format related to repair and lutherie in general.

    Can you really tell your tonewoods?

    Browsing through old threads and had to read this one. When I still had a Facebook account I was in a lot of bass related groups. This subject was always being discussed and there were many that claimed they could hear the difference in woods. One day I made a few sound clips of different basses...

    Does a bedroom bassist even need an amp anymore?

    I am also a bedroom bassist. I have multiple DAWs (which I rarely use for practice) A Darkglass Element A Beat Buddy pedal Orange Crush 50 Hartke HD75 I can plug headphones into each one of these pieces of gear. The Element uses IRs. Beatbuddy can be used with or without an amp. The combos...

    Spector NS2000-5

    I wasnt really after a particular color. My 5 is red. I havent seen a 4 in that color. The orange ones are nice. Really just want one in good shape. Like I said, I tend to buy other basses and just spent my bass money on a j bass. I cant control myself

    Spector NS2000-5

    Been after an NS2000/4 but I run accross the really nice ones right after buying other basses. Looked at an NS Pulse and would rather have an ns2000/4.

    My NS2000/5 sounds awesome and I cant wait to get it in the studio. I put an EMG BQC preamp in it and DC/CS pickups. Not gonna get the pure Haz tone but it sounds as good as any bass out there,especially for metal. With the maple body,brass nut and bridge along with the neck through design it...

    Spector NS2000-5

    Believe it came with an EMG BTS preamp. I put an EMG BQC pre and 40dc/40cs pups in mine. Great basses.

    Kramer bass what do I have here?

    MusicYo Kramer Stryker. Made byGibson and sold online years ago. I had the same bass,same color and all. Payed $200 for mine and sold it for $250. Kinda wish I kept These basses arent valuable and most Kramer collectors arent interested in the MusicYo basses. For as cheap as they are they are...

    The NS2000s have the deep "bowl cut" but it seems they were the last Korean basses that featured the NS curve. The Q4 I owned for about a week definitely did not. I dont own a U.S. made Spector but I cant imagine the carved back is much more pronounced than on my NS 20000/5. It was one of the...

    Schecter Hellraiser Extreme 4 vs. Spector NS2000/4

    Know this thread is old but I have an NS2000/5 and have owned some nice Schecters as well. I am always looking for an NS2000/4 because I want a 4 string model of the Spector. Great bass. The Q4 doesnt quite live up to the NS2000s so I will continue looking for a 4 string.

    Official Orange Club II

    Bought a Crush 50 to play in the room at home. Nice little combo. Love the "real" Orange heads and cabs but cannot afford to put that much into an amp since I am not a touring musician. Also decided I actually wanted one of the Orange basses but because I waited theyre tough to find and when I...

    EMG Club!

    Spector NS2000/5 with EMG BQC preamp,DC40(bridge) and CS40(neck) 19volt. This bass can be dialed in for whatever genre you play. It really shines in a metal setting,though. It sounds like a t-rex raping a grizzly bear (in a good way)

    This is for the owners of the Korean Spectors: You dont have to drop $5000 on a Spector to enjoy their basses. If you arent able to buy a USA model then you should really look at some older Korean models rather than jumping on the Euro line. I dont like the PJ pickup configuration,nor do I...

    Looking at getting a pedalboard but they feel like major rip-offs

    I bought some velcro and snagged some scap lumber from work. My board doesnt move much,though. Mainly to keep things organised. That being said making a road worthy one isnt difficult. No way would I pay 200 bucks for one. Ebay has pelican style cases if you check the military surplus vendors...

    Would it be wrong to cancel this Reverb order?

    I sell sports cards on Ebay. I get where you are coming from. I pay immediately,and I ship the next day if not the same day that someone pays me. I ship an $8 card an hour after the sale but I'll drop a couple hundred or more on an item and the seller will wait 3 days to ship. Its just part of...

    What to Upgrade First?

    If youre not happy with the electronics then change em out. I will say that I put a set of Ernie Ball Cobalts on my jazz bass and am pleased with the results. I realise a string change isnt going to address your issues but I just wanted to put that out there.

    Recommendation for practice set-up using headphones

    I have a pair of JVC earphones that I bought from Amazon ($20 or so) and I plug those into a combo amp (Orange Crush 50 or Hartke HD75) or my Darkglass Element. Also have a BeatBuddy which has a headphone jack,which is handy if I just want to noodle to some drums.

    Here's how to fix your bass photos

    I'm telling you,my phone has the absolute worst camera ever. I can upgrade with my carrier every six months and I have had this phone for 4 years.

    What's your bass-owning philosophy?

    I bought the bass I wanted. I put the electronics I wanted in it. After that I just buy basses that catch my eye (or ear) and keep some,sell others. I have a Laguna that I payed $75 for and I love it. I just bought a jazz bass about 6 months ago because I didnt have one. I will say I have...

    The Combo Club

    This little club made me remember my first combo back in the day (early-mid 90s) My first combo was a Crate BX80. Big,awkward,dont recall it sounding that good. My buddy that played guitar in our little band had a PA horn that he dug out of the dumpster at the music shop. He had the bright idea...

    The Sterling By MusicMan SUB Ray 4 and 5 Club!!!!

    Thanks. I am subbed to LowEndLobster's channel so I'll check it out. Just watched his jazz bass preamp shootout series. Anyway,I'll see if I can find a vid of the Aguilar pickup you mentioned. I'm not shooting for the "Stingray" tone that I see a lot of owners of these basses chasing but I cant...

    The Sterling By MusicMan SUB Ray 4 and 5 Club!!!!

    I payed $175 for this SUB SB4 and it didnt have a scratch on it. Great bass even at full retail. Someone was giving me grief about how I should have gotten a Ray34 or somesuch but I didnt plan on buying this bass. It was at my guitar shop. I have considered swapping out the preamp but the stock...

    The Combo Club

    It's a neat little amp. I had planned on selling the Hartke when I ordered the Orange but decided to keep it. The easiest way to explain it is the Orange is a lot like a guitar combo. It has the dirt channel which sounds great (especially with my old Morley wah plugged in) if you just wanna rock...

    Laguna LB224 pickup swap

    I have one of these and the pickup sounds fine to me. I swapped out the wiring harness with a pre-made P-Bass harness that I got on Ebay. I have to back off on the tone knob a bit but it sounds good. Maybe a Seymore Duncan pickup would be more to your liking. I payed 75 bucks for the bass and...
