DR Heartfield bass

[rogerbmiller]

One of my all time favorite basses. I have 5 of these - 3 bolt and and 2 neck through. I gigged my DR6 all through college and fell in love.

The DR6 has 17mm spacing at the bridge.

PS- if anyone has a 5 string they want to part with, please PM me.

My first bass was a Fender/Heartfield Prophecy II

Honestly an amazing bass with punchy tone and great quality.
Defretted it and it still sounded amazing.
Pawned it for a 2x15 cab like a bumbass.

Always wanted a DR5

I’ve always wondered if the older Brice Prestige Z6 was basses were made in the same place as the DRs? The basses appear nearly identical, although the Z6s were neck-through. They were imported by Rondo Music in the early 2000’s

When the DR5's first came out, Fender gave me one to use on tour. I liked it, didn't love it. Years later I was experimenting with it. I had Nordstrand put in some old Bartolini pickups I had and a Nordstrand pre. LOVE this bass now. Really stable neck. Nordstrand setup. Low action, no fret buzz. Soundmen love it too.

Is that your Brice? I absolutely love my Z6. I use it as a backup/alternative bass to my Peavey Cirrus 6. It is a super solid instrument, albeit very heavy and considerable neck dive; I still enjoy playing it and getting those deep bass tones.

Not the exact Z6 I had, but the same thing. I loved that bass, just wished it was fretless … sold it when I funded a custom 6 build ..,

I had no idea DR made basses.

That's because DR doesn't make basses, or at least doesn't to my knowledge, but they definitely had nothing to do with this one. That's a Heartfield bass, an overseas made sub brand of Fender from the late 80s-early 90s. DR is the model name, not the brand.

Those Z6s were korean made right? the Heartfield stuff was all MIJ to my knowledge. Those Z6s look much more similar to the Ibanez SR1206s from the 90s (not the indo premium models but the original ones):

SR1206 (1994–1996)
