My drawing skills aren’t great, but this hopefully gets the point across. Lower the body of the bass and hold the neck closer to your body.

Yep that's about where I have my D-roc slung and it's nice & comfy.

Beautiful bass. I had its twin.
I believe that is correct. #31

Thanks! I don’t see many of the early Combustions around. I prefer the more vintage inspired look with the trans blonde finish and tort guard more than the newer versions, so I’m glad I got one early!

I’m more into modern looks but this is such a classy combo.

Anyone here run their Dingwalls through a Phil Jones rig?

The TL;DR is - I'm possibly getting a Phil Jones M-500 head and 9B/6T cabs. Normally for live shows I use my Fractal Audio gear. For home recording it's either the Fractal, or a Mesa D-800+ into an Ampeg 2x10. The Phil Jones rigs have long interested me, and I've never played one at all. Curious if anyone here has (especially recently, or has pretty 'clean' recordings).

I've got a PJB Briefcase that it sounds great through for rehearsals, but I don't have any of the giggable PJB gear.

No recordings, except what is on YT, so I don't count those.

Got lots of PJB and Dingwall stuff!

I'm hoping you have your eye on the very same 6T and 9B I've been making excuses not to buy!

Thanks for the links!
I don't believe the one I'm looking at is the same -- it's not on the market officially as far as I know.

Dang. Here it is so someone buys it and gets it off my radar.

I’ve got a few basses I have been thinking of selling to fund a custom build. Last week I started playing them all again just to make sure I wouldn’t regret it. One of them was my first gen Combustion 5. I haven’t played it in a few years since other basses have become my go to choices.

I had kinda assumed my flirtation with multiscale had run it’s course and I settled back on my Roscoe and a few short scales… until I played the Dingwall again. I’m still blown away by how good this bass is and how I have neglected it. Needless to say, it’s not going anywhere.

Also, anyone have info on the serial numbers for the first gen Combustions? Mine is 00031, does that mean I have the 31st Combustion built?

I have an old school combustión that it looks like someone did a DIY respray on
It took me 3 owners on the used market to get it but I love it! Rosewood too

You can always cut one. I purchased this material as “tort” but it looks more cheetah to me. Haha (It’s not adhered, just laying on top.)

 

[monsterthompson]

I attempted to describe the problem earlier in the thread, but perhaps my outstanding artistic powers will help clear it up:

Fantastic!

Reminds me of.

Thanks for the laugh. Now I need to get out my D Bird and play Thanks for the reminder.

Any reason a pickguard listed as for an NG wouldn't work for a regular Combustion model? Assuming they have the same pickup shape.

Actually that looks a bit hyena.

I have an older combustion with 2 square pickups. It has the neck pickup moved back against the bridge pickup and an NG pickguard.

Is your shirt a flip flop finish to go with your flip flop bass? Love that color, have the same one.

also curious as i think a 9x4 would be cool.

Ahhh man, could you guys slow down with the cabinet talk? I am trying not to think about grabbing something lighter and more efficient.
I have always wondered about those PJBs and I have caught myself checking out Gentler Arrays recently... a lot.

I'm a Mesa Subway fan myself. The 15s are phenomenal.
