I haven't had a chance to try them on my regular basses yet but I use them on my "6 string short scale piccolo bass" and they're amazing

I have the Pure Blues on all my basses; hopefully at some point the long scale Dingwalls. But Dingwall strings are good as well.

Decisions decisions. With production on the Canadian models now 1 year out, I am trying to decide on a Z3 order config. I had almost made up my mind but then I asked myself will I feel the same way in a year? ha ha

Well, the nice thing is that you'll have a few months to decide before being locked in. Those Z's sure are pretty, that's for sure! What is your thinking so far on it? Any options that you're specifically rolling around?

I got word today that my build might be completed end of December, or early January. So, roughly 10 months from day of order to completion. I was kind of hoping something would've happened and I could've had it for a somewhat awesome gig I have on 11/29, but oh well - I think the two Afterburners will be perfectly fine for that.

I LOVE the burst color of yellow to green, but have not decided whether to go for regular, flame, or x-top. X_top Burl or Spalt would be killer but maybe just the standard top with the burst would just be very cool. I have a pic of this color on my site but can't link it here. I put it on the site just so I could sit and watch it come around the carousel every 10 seconds...haha.
And Darkglass 3-band pre.

Interesting that orders went from 8 months out in January when I ordered the ABZ and ABII to 10 months out when you ordered yours and now are quoted 12 months out. Seems these basses are getting more attention and popularity judging from this.

I asked for Green to Black burst, which I'm hoping turns out a lot like this one:

For a burst, I'd say Flame or Quilted. Burl and Spalt, to me, just don't look that great under colors. They shine better when they're natural, or lightly stained. But that is me. I just looked at the Y->G burst and yeah, I like that too, but I think it might look better under highly flamed or quilted maple.

I'm glad Sheldon's stuff is really catching on. I ordered on March 3rd, so that's pretty big growth in a short amount of time. Makes me want to jump in and get in line on another order here in the next few months... maybe a Prima :D Sadly, there's just too much uncertain for me in the next year (namely: buying a house), so I shouldn't.

I like the color you chose!

"...but I think it might look better under highly flamed or quilted maple."
Yeah, this was one of options discussed when I spoke with Sheldon today. It would just have to be really nice.

Thanks. It's a "thing" - I have Red and Blue... so now I'll have RGB (Red/Green/Blue, all primary colors) basses. Still bouncing between 5 and 6 string, but I apparently have a few months to make up my mind on it.

With a spalted wood.. a tobacco burst, with out the yellow (well it will have the hue in it.. just not that apparent!), more of a darker amber really looks good with a spalted maple!
