    What's your approach to having more than one bass? Purely tone, or are there other reasons?

    I bought and sold many bass’s in the 36 or so years I’ve been playing. I have a 6 string Dingwall with the Dark horse eq built in. This Bass is just a great bass. All the different tones available and versatility of it is just phenomenal. I have a four string Fender jazz ultra. Which I think...

    Moving - will the movers destroy everything?

    Not sure if you’re in a state that gets cold winters or not. If I were moving and my musical instruments/Amps went with the movers, i would find out if there storage was climate controlled or not. I would also check. With my insurance agent about what kind of coverage I have on my instruments...

    Heavy Cabs...........

    The good thing was I was in my early 40’s at the time. The bad is I was in my early 40’s at that time. Lol. I could carry it up and down two flights. Might be a little winded, but it was possible. I used a light weight Dolly to move the amp around where possible. I haven’t really missed it or...

    Heavy Cabs...........

    I had the SWR 2X10, Super Redhead. I believe it was 84 or 94 pounds. It got ruined in a flood. I bought a Bergantino 2X10 and the Forte HP head. The cabinet weighs 35 pounds and the head might weight 8 pounds or less. What an awesome sounding set up it is. The sound is so unreal. I was pleased...

    Is it ever acceptable to wear shorts at a gig?

    If the shorts are board shorts or dressy type of shorts it should be fine. I would try and stay looking professional if that’s the look the band is going for

    Heavy Cabs...........

    I was playing through a 90 pound SWR Super Redhead 2X10 with a horn. It was the best amp I have ever owned and or played through. The tones that thing let out were awesome. My bass playing never sounded better. Lol. The great thing about it was that is had casters, so I could just push it...

    6 string Bass

    That’s kinda what I was thinking, that my playing would/could be better with a well designed bass. My Ibanez has a very wide neck. My left hand can get sore after a hair or two of playing. I usually practice anywhere from 2-6 hours a day on free days since I was retired a few years ago now. I...

    6 string Bass

    Dingwall bass’s manufacturing plant is about a five hour drive one way, from where I live. I might have to drop in there and see what they have.

    6 string Bass

    Are your basses the same model as each other? I like the looks of the one on the left. They don’t look too chunky either. What electronics are in them?

    6 string Bass

    I guess it all depends on what my budget is allowed to be. Lol. They are my top three. Mostly because I’m not familiar with a lot of other brands.

    6 string Bass

    I have an IBANEZ SR506EBM, while it has been great to play, I know there is better out there. I want to upgrade but I am not sure as to which one. I am looking for recommendations/input on ergonomics, sound weight, over all feel of other 6 strings that the people on here have tried and really...

    6 string Bass

    I am wondering which 6 string bass’s do you guys consider great sounding and playable? I own a few bass’s; Fender ultra, Yamaha, Ibanez fretless, Ibanez 5 string, Ibanez 6 string. I always find myself going back to the 6 string. I have been looking at the Dingwall Afterburner...

    Help!!! My bass got low to almost no sound

    Sometimes you can get metal shards into the pickups casing. These shards move around from the magnetic pull and you picking it up and putting it down. This can lead to cutting of the coil wires. It has been known to happen on occasion. The reason it happens is that people continue use steel...
