Rollerberg 200000000 - the only negative i've heard about the rolling SKB gig bag holders is that sometimes the flight people that open up bags don't latch it properly afterwards. have you ever had to deal with that?

That is a distinct possibility. It is awkward and difficult to mate the two halves and clasp them properly. I've often described it as a monkey trying to hump a football, you get the picture.

For flights I would not use this case unless you went to one of those kiosks who shrink wrap your luggage. Even then, if I were flying alot I would invest in an expensive custom flight case.
 
Roller - now i'm picturing a cat trying to get it on with a soccer ball to one-up the monkey.

this is a little OT for this thread, but you guys that DO fly a lot, do you end up taking multiple basses? i always bring a backup to gigs, but i dunno if i would do that if i was flying a lot.
 
Nice review, Cameron. I think you may have the first ABZ 6 to be built. I emailed Barry about 10 months ago to price one, and was told they hadn't produced any yet. I recently relocated halfway across the country, which put a severe damper on the 'Dingwall fund', so congrats. Seeing yours only further whets my appetite. More vids, too, please!

Sick video Cameron! I also checked some videos in your channel. I really liked your version of blue bossa :smug:

Sweet playing!!!

All those strings sound really good, but the 'B' is killin'!

VERY nice!! :)

just one take...I want to go do a good version now! Thanks for all the compliments, and yeah Sheldon's basses are awesome. The next logical evolutionary step in bass building, IMHO.

Cheers,
Cameron
 
Cameron even if you have one string more than mine, due to their looks, our basses could be twin! :D

I make up the difference with a full head of hair! HAHA (just a joke) ;)

hey, Cameron is solar-powered, and has committed to the Natural Charging Panel. and i respect him for that.

go green! shave your dome!

just like our basses...

Cheers,
Cameron

LOVE this thing. i had the guitar tech, Stephen White (AWESOME individual. i want to be him when i grow up) install a killswitch between the Tone and Pickup knobs.

also, this thing is so meaty in it's tone and articulate that i can take the Aggy TLC off of my board that i was just using to keep the punch whilst tapping. don't need it anymore.

i'm in love.
 
@WillyHelmet - yeah man. Sheldon just killed it. SO happy!

@TheManTheMythTheBowlus - hah! i repainted while my grrL was out-country. when she came back she said she liked it, but with the orange couch in the living room it felt like she was about to order a taco or burrito at a Mexican restaurant.
