Ok. All my transactions have been in the states. I've seen the foreign transaction fees come up on E-Bay. Yeah - gotta check all that - no denying. I agree that things are not always easily calculated. They should be. I should be able to look in one place and see what I paid for the item, paid for the shipping label, paid in fees, net total. Ebay especially seems a joke in that regard.

It's this kind of clarification straight from the "man at the top" that is making Dingwall ownership a pleasure.
Even though I have an import model I don't feel like I own any less of an instrument ( and it inspires me to own a Canadian bass once funds allow ).
I'd kind of guessed that my D-roc Standard 5 was compound radius but was unsure.
eBay is more like 10-12.5%, before PayPal fees. I've sold a good bit there and that jives with the instruments I sold. Reverb usually ends up a few percent less.
I'd still rather give them $200 than TalkBass $15 (or whatever the monthly fee here it now a days).

Even if it was $1 I wouldn't
Not until Talkbass starts taking out the trash (in their own ranks, and in some segments of the population). But that's getting wildly offtopic 
The Glockenklang version seems completely transparent to me at the detents and sounds the same when switched to passive (with the tone control all the way up). That passive tone control is great.
I agree. I don’t think it is a discernible difference flat. The DG is definitely different though. I’ve really grown to love it. I do wish it had a passive tone control though.
Agreed on all counts. That’s exactly my experience with the Glock. I’ve not played the DG aside from one brief experience in a shop.
Yeah, the glockenklang pre is "true" when set to center detents. The DG is not, at all -- it very much colors the tone.
I like the good guys.
Optimus prime is awesome!
OP is what I thought it was in reference to....
Hope the weather's fine in Ottawa!
Not yet. I have a ric 4003xc and dingwall ab arriving soon. My wife would murder me. Like 15 grand of bass. :-OI thought I recalled @IvanBassist mentioning his SJ(P)? May need a new home?
On my Z, there is very distinct difference from passive and DG preamp engaged flat. Personally, I don’t mind the eq shift because I find the eq points selected work great for making mids work/cut through a dense mix better.
If I were looking at R&B tone and P&W tone as my goals, I would probably want to do a more classic scoop at times, which another preamp would natively do.
I play a lot of different songs while messing around on this bass and I can find tones that would work for these genres with my Z but I think I would want a Glock for the original tone goals that were asked about.
Meh! My crystal balls sees a bunch of dusty Rics in the foreseeable future. Heheheh.
