They're here on Thursday. I'm not going to make the show, but I've word of an afterparty S/P jam that I'll be heading to.
My buddy got some great video, I'll post the YouTube link when he uploads it. They are professionals to the highest degree. Incredible the mix of people they brought together and absolutely everyone was shaking their head in amazement the whole show. I don't think I've ever seen another group come close to playing together like that. Truly incredible.

We played with Corey Henry last year and it was a really fun show. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do in the context of an open jam.
Corey wasn't there last night and I think there was a collective disappointment about that. I gotta say, Shaun was every bit a superstar and made us forget we were missing Corey.
I sure would like to try out a Super P or J at some point. That one looks sweet, but I've barred myself from buying any other basses while my AB 6er order is in process.I commissioned and received this one in 2012. It is still a beautiful beast.
Scag Turf Tiger, 62 inch deck. Nuff said...

4 acres.
Hilly terrain, multiple bushes, trees, objects.
I'm done in about an hour.
Seriously.
I have the best bass in the world (Dingwall) and the best mower (Scag).
Yeah, I'm an arrogant puppy......
I love Snarky Puppy. It's the first band that's had me really excited about music in the past few years. Stellar musicians, great music and a great overall concept (of rotating musicians). Plus, they work really hard and deserve all the recognition that they're finally getting. The only downside is that you won't see them in small intimate venues as much anymore.

Dingwall owner friends!
After much GAS, debate, and hesitation for my next bass purchase I decided to drain my bass savings instead of settling on a more budget friendly bass like the original plan.
I'll be ordering a 4 String combustion direct from the factory, but was not aware the NG2 was also available as a 4 stringer now... Leading to another wrench in my stocking.
Any argument for or against springing the extra few hundred bones on the NG2? Any recommended options when i price this out?

So I've been putting time into both my ABZ-5 and ABHS-4 and really can say that extra 0.8lbs (8.8lbs vs 9.6lbs) in the ABHS can be felt and is quite pleasant. There's this extra heft to the normal resonance that I feel in the body of the bass that vibrates through the neck as well. You don't get the same feeling with the ABZ. It's especially noticeable when I have it in drop-D and wale on the open low D string. I am very interested in a 5-string version now.
I'm pretty sure I posted about my GTG event in this thread before. Well, it is next weekend (the 14th!), and I'd like to extend the welcome mat to anyone here that may be interested:

I received my Combustion back with its new pickups and electronics installed. It is now sporting FD-3's with a P-Tone in the neck position, volume/tone/pickup blend with series/parallel push pots on the volume and tone as well as a Redeemer on/off switch.
