@Selta , the revised .170T is on the way to you.

AWWWWW YEAH! That is great news and great timing, too! I'll do some new, better recordings and let you know my thoughts on it. Thank you!

Wow that's a beauty! What preamp and body wood does this have?

Oh, it looks like a good boy to me - SHARP color scheme!

I really cannot wait!
It's got the glock 3-band and all bubinga body

So that's one of those weighty non-chambered ones? Can't wait to hear clips!!

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

Nice! I love white basses and yours is no exception.

Question to the NG-2 owners out there. Do you feel like you need to do some extra shielding in the electronics cavity? My bass is a bit noisier (electronic being buzzy) than I would prefer and I'm wondering if others are experiencing the same thing.

Thanks,
Bones

Oh no sir this one is indeed chambered. I liked the thick low punch of bubinga but also enjoyed the acoustic air of the chambered body...so I went for both

Oh yeah, duh! It does have an f hole. Been working a crazy deadline. Not enough sleep! Lol!

Looking forward to your impressions when you finally get her home.

Love your bass; the ABIIs are amazing! That chambered body does make a difference. We just got one in and I tested it out with a 212, a 112, and a 210/array cab with 3 different amps. Really nice meaty low end and and with that Glockenklang plenty of clean EQ; although I left it flat with all the amps set flat for what I thought was a great smooth and meaty deep sound. Congrats on the bass!

So when Sheldon posted the NG-2 prototype (yellow with ebony fret board) I was pretty sure I would kick a puppy for that bass. He just posted this Plum Crazy Purple - esk dBird on FB.

This makes me feel all funny, like I'm 11 and don't understand the changes in my body. Pretty sure I would do deplorable things to own this bass.

I know what color to get, Now. Whoa!

 

[Mikaelbass]

Thanks guys, knowing it's finished and is on its way now is the hardest part of the wait.

I recently put chromes on my thunderbird and live/missed the thump and booty of flats. I'm not really into old school flats, I like chromes and T.I but 5 string sets are expensive and I'm also aware paysons started making a set. Any comparison between the three for dingwalls? I have a feeling T.I's would be my best bet for a modern flat sound, but I have no idea about the Paysons

But do try the Dingwall's on the bass. I LIKE them. Then again, other than Chromes on a fretless (which I liked), and the strings that come on a Hofner Gold Label (which I like), I have never been a flats type sound guy. Traditionally I have used Rotosounds and only last year began using Pure Blues. The standard strings on the ABII sound really good to me.

Stop it! You keep talking like this and I'm going to end up doing something harmful to my already pathetic bank account!!

I got my Dcline gaboon ebony knobs with Luminlay lines, very high quality product. They are domed top with an oil finish. I'll get some photo's up tomorrow. These are on my SJ5XXX.

In other news, put my ABI5 up for sale or trade (sniff). Were I 10 years younger I'd never give this 8.1 lb beauty up.

Is there any way I can convince you to pull the P-tone and sell that separate?

 

[Thumper]

Only if the new buyer isn't that keen on it, but it does sound great with the TIs.

 

[Selta]

Cool. If that does end up happening to be the case, please let me know. I've been searching high and low for another one of those for my red AB1.

 

[Thumper]

I will ask if it is desired, may offer a lower price without it.
