I think that top is just a little bit nicer, but yeah.

Now think of that in orange...

I know, I know - I posted that before. I can't help myself. Looks a little red on the outside - don't know that I'd do that myself, but still...

Ok. Lets take this a step further... (not that this is healthy for me). Which top would look better in that transparent orange?

I am not a fan of burl, so it would definitely be the second one.

$2400 for a used Stingray5 Special?

That looks like a regular old SR5 not a special. I’ll never understand L&Ms used pricing, it’s madness.

I’m guessing that one left the store and came right back. I feel as though it’s been “hangin” around along time.

There is actually a really nice HH down the street, used, at St Johns music for $1600. It’s been very tempting except I have absolutely Zero need for it. Just have to maintain the will power.

Amethyst Burst is my favorite Dingwall finish!

You may like my new build slated for a July arrival.....

Disclaimer: I will do no such actions which will involve the delay of the production of this bass. I cannot go through this again....

I have no work booked for the next 2 days....... I would be very inclined to make the drive to stoon and back if only the powers that be would allow it.
I would brave the storm we are currently experiencing for this 22.5 month experience to come to its conclusion.
I would.

As far as I know the neck got put on last week.

I may be starting to unravel at both ends as I wait....

Tuesday... nope
Wednesday..... nope

Thursday...????

Apologies...... carry on.

My preciousssssss

I am a fan of burl.
but it’s always a tough choice.

FYI. That top was the #2 top to the one I chose for my next one.
#1 was also burl.

I'm not a fan of Buckeye in general as it usually is very yellow or even green sometimes, but that one I think would look interesting. I'm usually more of this style, but I can't imagine it in orange:

So many to choose from.

My Buckeye will be prebleached before paint.

I went from having 0 to having 3, all in a matter of 3 weeks.

Good work.

Thinking aloud (in text) about the neck if/when I order a Dingwall. How about the combination of a Wenge neck and a Ziricote fingerboard? And maybe just the inlaid “D” on the 12th fret if the fingerboard selection shows nice grain or figuring.

This. Yes. This.

I had an AB2 that only had side dots. I barely realized it didn't have fretboard markings until I went to sell it.

Ziracote would be killer like that.

Agreed. One day it will happen... one day.

Wenge and Ziricote is a magical combo.

2nd one just jumps out as trans-orange in my mind.

 

[TheLowDown33]

Hey @bebass, any word on the next shipment of Combustion 6s? Not trying to be dramatic, but I'm dying over here. I need some extended range for a few projects coming up and I'm getting antsy as heck

Maybe some kind person with photoshop skills could make them orange for you?
If I had/could use photoshop I'd do it for you but sadly I'm a luddite with such things

 

[TonyRo]

I'd vote #2 as well. I think it would look better, but it also breaks my heart to cover up such a beautiful burl top with anything.
