Okay guys, all this SJ talk is making my wait for my SJ5 a lot harder!

 

[Brim]

I have the SJ4 in my hands!!!

Oh my, oh my! Wow!!!

You know the drill...no pics no bass! Congrats on the new SJ.

Lucky dog! Good things come to those who wait...are something like that.

By the way, pull the pickguard and you'll see that Sheldon routes the neck pup for both single-coil or split-coil P style. All you need is a new guard and some soldering skillz.

Yes, I have already spoken to Barry about this possibility. But, after playing on it a while (no new pics, sorry), I am in NO hurry to swap the pickups in this bad boy. It is so versatile, and that's without even touching the EQ!

This bass is definitely delivering what I had hoped to get out of it, and then some!

I've been a bit busy of late (pushing hard to get issue #1 of BGM out the door), but I found a spare moment to snap some photos of my SJ4 last night. This bass continues to blow me away! It's definitely in my top 10, of all the basses I have played.

Here's a shot highlighting the magnetic battery cover (I still love that design!). Coincidentally, this shot is also probably the most true representation of that 'Burgundy Mist' color.

Now, I gotta get me an SJ5!!!

Tom.

Hi Tom

when you get the SJ5, hop on a plane and get here to meet the rest of the family (and your old Prima )

By the way, how did Sheldon put the "Tom Bowlus taking picture of the SJ" hologram on the back of the body?

LOL! He's just that good! I like how he captured my drummer's kit, too.

Hey Tom, what strings are on your Super J? The silk end looks like Sadowsky flats, but the E looks tapered at the bridge.

To be honest, I am not sure. These are what came on the bass, stock (I acquired it, new, from Bass and Beyond). Whatever they are, I like them!

I'll ask Barry and Sheldon what they ship 'em with. And then I'll ask if I can buy a case.

Tom.

 

[fullrangebass]

IIRC the Super J gets shipped with GHS strings (boomers I think but I may be wrong)

 

[smakbass]

nice super J 5er they have there....

 

[UncleBalsamic]

That is such a beautiful bass.
I'm hoping to try out a Dingwall soon and hopefully palce an order in the next few months.

By the way does anyone have an educated guess on how long it'll take for an AB1 to be built?

Hmm... these sure don't sound or feel like Boomers.

 

[Sheldon D.]

Nice shots there Tom. I'm glad you're enjoying the bass.

GHS Super Steel Contact core. M5200 set.


We call that color "New Burgundy Mist". We think of it as a "Manlier" version of Burgundy Mist. 'Cause we're such Manly types up here

That is an understatement!

Ah, that makes sense. Those are nice strings!

Forgive my faux pas. And as for that 'manly types' comment, I can vouch for the fact that you are no skinny, slide-rule wearing dweeb. Of course, neither of us could match Lee in the manly facial hair department!

As many of you have guessed, this chambered Prima Artist 6 has ended up in my greedy hands.

I need to compare it with my other two 6 str Dingwalls, before I reach an informed opinion . The other two are: The FIRST EVER Prima Artist (which happens to be a 6 as well), and a Prima 6 (the one that is featured on the Dingwall website where the Prima features are presented)

 

[tombowlus]

Wow! That is one slick looking Dingwall! Very nice artistic presentation.

Yer a lucky man, Eddie!!!

Tom.

 

[Sheldon D.]

Nice score Eddie. I should point out that one is the first chambered Prima Artist 6 too.

 

[fullrangebass]

Wow!!! Two firsts side by side. Am I lucky to have stumbled upon the Dingwall magic!!! Thank you for the info Sheldon

A new Dingwall family picture is due on Sunday. I think the members are 26 now!!!
