No prob. Hopefully you’ll get a few more opinions besides mine but I do believe this to be correct on how I interpreted your situation.
curious what neck? Wenge or maple?
I’ve found the maple ones a bit more “springy” and the wenge more “stiff” with a more noticeable “soft spot”
I‘d hope so, as well. The neck is a lovely full wenge specimen, so it’s seemingly acting in accordance with your description.
I can’t wait to see your AB2 all finished up. What’s the latest word on it?
Well, it was in for pickups/electronics around December 7...so it would seem just the neck fitting and final prep at this point. Checking the Facebook page every afternoon rather than bothering the shop--they have enough on their hands already.
Although I do feel a bit like Peter at the end of the Monkees title sequence.

Yours was in the same social media posts that showed the electronics install as mine was, so I really think you’re damn close to shipping, if not already on the way to your dealer.
TL;DR
I ended up with another Combustion. first six string and really don’t see this one going anywhere. It was bought with purpose and has a bit of a story. It holds a title of “Our bass” between myself and someone Awesome. I was fortunate to play it in the past before it found a home(it’s dated somewhere in this thread I think).
This beauty has a perfect neck, set up and a bonus 6 way switch. I may add toggles and possibly a custom PG. DEtuner already ordered.
Oh and some serious magic mojo from its previous owner. without further adieu:
…… AND also…..I did do something questionable. I don’t know what to make of this but there is a good chance I’ll have a PG for sale.

Awesome purple!
Not so sure about that tort….bold move.

I don’t mind bold moves but I’m not sure it’s the right bold move for my tastes. I need it to look more aggressive which the factory PG does way more so.
perhaps without the white outline.
I actually like the tort on purple, even though I rarely do… but yeah, I wouldn’t call it more aggressive.
How about instead having those three big pickups wrapped by someone who does custom car parts? I‘d go white matte but there’s a whole rainbow out there for you.

Any combined Dingwall and Monkees reference is all good from my perspective.
Looking forward to seeing your DNBD.

That is sweet. I love that color purple. Ive been thinking hard about purpleifying mine with pg and/or neck illusions.
Tort definitely stands out. Perhaps we all need to see a pic of the entire bass from a few feet further out.
Yeah, the white outline ain't cuttin' it.
Congrats on your new Dingwall addition!
@AB Nate The tort looks great on this, I say that as a non tort fan.
As always anything is an improvement on the adidas pickguard

lol never heard anyone call it that before. I actually like the three stripes.
That's funny I didn't check the spacing of the other strings and you are right, good eye! The rest are around 17.5 and 17 for the D and G. I'm guessing the previous owner did some tweaks or requested it to be set up like that. Either way it works great for me!
