Replaced the 3 point bridge with a hipshot supertone. First time I tried to put it one, when I tried to tune up some strings they pulled the bridge post out. Some glue did the trick in keeping the bridge in. I also tossed on some black nylon Tapewounds which are... different. Not sure how...

I did it. I found one of the Jack Casady basses I wanted at a pretty good deal and have now joined the Jack Casady Club. I just looooove the white Tuxedo look this particular finishes have. Been looking for one in white for months now.

I'm gassing for one of these real bad. I want one of the Alpine White ones and I've seen one pop up on Reverb and another on Ebay this month and I keep just missing them. The sale is super nice and I contemplated getting one of the gold ones since that's the only finish they currently make...

Any hardshell cases that work with a combustion?

Can anyone with experience with ordering a custom Dingwall and knows their pricing estimate how much this thing cost?

My Dingwall combustion is uniquely noisy among my basses. It's picking up radio frequencies and sending them to my bass amp which my other basses do no have this sort of problem. Is there any kind of fix like additional shielding?

Of course median wages matter. The median wage in 1960 was $5,600. In today's value that's $51,000 dollars. The actual current median wage now is $31,000. Americans simply make less money than they did in the 1950 and 60s. A $2500 out of pocket expense isn't cheap, but it's leagues more...

This is true if going by straight national inflation levels. This is not true when you take into account median wages of the average American which has been stagnant since the 80's and has something close to half the purchasing power as they did in the 60s. Something like 50% of households in...

Vintage gear can be really cool, interesting, and fun and lots of them are great I'm sure, but vintage snobs are literally insane. There's people who swear that the P-Basses from the first few years after 57 and the introduction of the split coil have a "magic" too them. I'm sure there's a lot...

What kind of pickups are the FD-3N's? Are they single coil or humbucker? Mine seem kinda noisy and were picking up radio singles into my amp today. Dunno if they need extra shielding or something.

So what are my options for combustion 6 string replacement sets aside from Dingwall's own brand of strings?

Are there any pickup selector mods to get even more silly with my 3 pickup combustion? Happy with neck, neck+mid parallel, bridge+mid series, and bridge. But it'd be kinda fun to get brige+mid or even something completely ridiculous like all three in series in parallel too.

Ha, that's funny. Is your 2400 the same finish color?

I have joined the Dingwall Owner's club! My new Ultra Violet Combustion 6 arrived today. Apologies for the low quality cell phone pics. I don't have the nicest phone in the world nor a super good camera, but hopefully you can still appreciate the bass. I took the pickguard off to better...

The purple combustions I've been seeing are really striking ngl What are the strengths of the darkglass preamp vs the EMG? I've always been more of a funk/jazz player but listening to Jacob Umansky and intervals has like really inspired me to dive more into metal and distortion. Good lord...

Hey peeps I've been thinking of getting a dingwall. I love my SR1806 for warm undistorted tones and the EADGC strings sound great with my distortion but the low B string doesn't have much bite and is kind of thuddy, especially when distorted. Does that multiscale with the 37 scale on the B...

Anyone got any advice? I recently got a Dark Glass Alpha Omnicrom and I'm liking the bite and I'm getting out of it but is it supposed to always sound like there is a layer underneath the main layer the instrument there's a layer that sounds like a bass amp clipping to the maximum capacity in...

How do you guys feel about the pickups in the Player Precision Models?

Thanks! I've always thought Sunburst/Black with a maple fretboard is the classist combo for P-Bass look. I'm looking forward to playing the hell out of it to give it some relicing over the years.

I always wanted to try an EDA. I have no idea how they sound but they look metal as hell.

I have officially joined the P-Bass club. My other basses are two active Ibanez basses with all the nobs and options so it's refreshing to have a bass that's just so committed to doing something completely different than I'm used to. I thew a set of flats on it the second I got it. It's...

Yeah, I really appreciate the real history shared by you and others in this thread. I thought they looked neat and were in the hands of clearly good players like anthony so there was probably a real answer and not for show I was curious about.

That BTB is GORGEOUS. I just made a thread curious about those single cutaway basses.

I looked it up and Ibanez has a pretty affordable new version of that bass that seems a bit more balanced aesthetically.

How do you feel about it? What made you pick that bass?

Do you do custom bass requests? I would like to order this.

Ski jump defect?

I feel like ranking this is more fun than voting. I didn't choose fretless vs fretted because they're almost different instruments at this point. Fretless do have a significantly different tone than fretted. It's very significant but it also feels a bit like cheating to include them. For the...

I've been seeing it crop up more and more, though I've noticed it for like a decade in very high end instruments, is there technical or sonic reason for basses and guitars with those extreme single cut designs where the top of the body can stretch out all the way up to potentially the 12th fret...

Yeah. P and J Basses look reaaaaally naked without the pickguard. SR's never have pickguards so there's less contrast if they have a flatter looking finish the way a black Jbass might have a white pickguard making it look a bit more exciting visually. Pretty bland looking imo. Like I said...

Both my basses right now are Soundgear, 4 string and 6 string. I think it's a cool design that's definitely distinct, but still feels familiar and, most importantly very practical and ergonomic. It can fit into practically any setting. I'd quirk my eyebrow a bassist at a modern jazz fusion gig...

I think both sound really good and I like having access to both. I like the Nords a bit more in generally but I think there's a lot to appreciate in the aggie's thumpier, mellower tone. Basically this.

EHB | PRODUCTS | Ibanez guitars Invalid Link Removed this specific model I think

I'm not typically a fan of headless basses and guitars, but I freaking love the body shape of these new Ibanez EHB. And the upper fret access looks sublime.

Does anyone know the logic behind why whenever Ibanez releases a bass with a split pickup configuration, they reverse it from their usual position in a majority of basses, with the split for the D+G strings closer to the neck rather than the usual E+A?

Heya. I'd like a number. My 2017 SR1806 and my brand new (Literally this morning) SR2400. Apologize for the poor quality cell phone pics.
