Some say he strings his bass ADGE and that he replaced his worn out neck with a new one made from 1000 ice-cream sticks glued together because he thinks that it sweetens his sound...
All we know is he's called InkCow.

Just in case you do not know, the DeArmond "Pilots" are not "real" Pilots - they are indonesian replicas with inferior hardware and completely different pup and control setups...If you are looking for a genuine, (red) 5 string US-made Guild Pilot bass, they are not too hard to find at reasonable prices...I happen to own a red 5 string (but I am in Europe) and I know of another red 5 string for sale but it is in the UK...
If I remember correctly, @RyanOh has a very nice 5 string Pilot he might like to sell...?
Stick around here and keep your eyes open on the various (bass guitar) buy & sell medias and you'll have a 5 string Pilot before you know it...
Well aware. I've played a few Guilds and loved them. My only desire for a DeArmond is that of Nostalgia. My pops bought me one as my "first real bass" back in high school. At some point it took a nose dive and split the headstock in half and I got it repaired and traded it off.Just in case you do not know, the DeArmond "Pilots" are not "real" Pilots - they are indonesian replicas with inferior hardware and completely different pup and control setups...If you are looking for a genuine, (red) 5 string US-made Guild Pilot bass, they are not too hard to find at reasonable prices...I happen to own a red 5 string (but I am in Europe) and I know of another red 5 string for sale but it is in the UK...

Ahhh, okay - so I can completely understand your wish now...
Good Luck with your search...!
I don’t know where you’re located, but there’s a red 5 string DeArmond Pilot parts bass in the North Atlanta exurbs (Acworth) on FB Marketplace for $125 which I would be all over if I didn’t already have a 5 string that I’m really happy with.
Nothing specific, but you could sell as an older EMG 5 string J set. People still like EMGs.
I'm in Houston but I might go check that out. Any chance you'd be willing to be a middle man for a middle man fee?
Talking to the guy with the parts bass on FB currently. Fingers crossed it works out
Unfortunately I’m over an hour away from there, so I’m probably not your guy, but I hope this guy can work something out with you!
Supposed to be getting boxed up today. Now I just gotta find tuners, pickups, preamp and a string tree.
Well I saw that it’s marked as sold, so… congratulations, I hope?
It's supposedly sitting in a box at Atlanta Vintage Guitars waiting on Greg to ship it out to me. Fingers crossed.
Your bridge is right here:
