I like Bart's in certain basses but not in others. In my Modulus Q5...killer! In my Roscoe...not so much.

I didn't like the Barts in the V/P I just got when they were wired as a passive Jazz setup. I also didn't love them the first time I dropped in the Aguilar OBP-2 @9v and with the first blend pot I got. This last run of re-working the electronics made them way more usable and good sounding. They're not FD3's, but I've put my "get FD3's ASAP" plans on hold.

Just put this on last night. I really wish that it matched a little better. This one is a double-stop. I have played with it a little. Don't have the middle stop set right yet.

I like this look of this one better than the ones that came on the bass. Wonder if I can order 4 more regular ones from Hipshot to match this one?

Does anybody else use the Hip Shot? Double Stop?

What note do most drop to?

I have mine set right now to Bb and Ab. I play in church alot and Bb and Ab are keys they play in. Now I can play the root in a low register and rumble the big subs

I believe any USA set of Hipshot HB6Y-3/8 in chrome will be an exact match drop in to your D tuner.

Cool, thanks. I guess I am OCD enough to do that. Probably will.

So, the Dingwall basses have Hipshot tuners that are without the logo? Or because mine is a combustion, does it have Chinese made tuners?

My AB1 has tuners with the Hipshot logo on them; I believe the Combustion basses use different (non-Hipshot) tuners.

That drop tuner looks to be satin not chrome

That's right. The current Hipshot style has a satin key and other bits. They used to offer a full shiny version they called nickel but that's a discontinued finish. What you see on tat drop tuner would be the match to their current 'chrome' designation. I'd recommend a quick visit to the Hipshot website to verify.

BTW, you gave me thinking now. Do you have the item number on this drop tuner?

The number on the box says:
HE6Y-3/8 Chrome
20660C

I ordered the wrong number at first, I ordered the half inch one. I called hipshot to do the return and told them I had a Dingwall Bass and they told me something about the Dingwall bass used a slightly different tuner, that something was shorter, not quite sure I understand that, but if you order one you might want to call them and ask about it

Dingwall uses a 3/8" with a custom short shaft. It would be considered a special order through Hipshot.

Would it be a short-shaft on the Combustion?
I think the short shaft on the Afterburners is to address the countersunk bushings.

The Z and Prima basses have angled headstocks that eliminate the need for either a string retainer or the countersunk bushings.
