Purchase #1

View attachment 4215444
It's an ultra violet burst Combustion x3. Set me back a cool $2,385. Clocks in at JUST under 8 3/4 pounds, and they even offered to put the best strings for metal on it, free of charge. Now to see if I can learn to love the color.

I'll be honest, I've never played a maple neck, and I've always disliked them on sight. I'm curious.

Girlfriend can't really complain though. Not after...

just a suggestion, you might want to get her a ring that actually fits her finger.....

 

[J-Bassomatic]

You are wise sensei

 

[libanass]

She must be so lucky to get that Dingwall!

 

[mcclurer16]

Very well thought out!

 

[Kijuer]

LOL my wife would get mad for #1 but way angrier for #2.

Dude, you are already being dishonest.. you should have just doubled down and when she asked if the bass was new you should of said, no. Most partners don't know what gear their other half has in the first place. In my opinion, you lost $$ on that ring.

Dude, you are already being dishonest..

This is the reply that's gonna make me finally edit op if I can. I figured all the other clues were enough, but this thread has been tongue-in-cheek. I bought a bass and an engagement ring. I figured that'd be obvious, but I guess too many people are missing it.

Nope, too late to edit. Alas! (earwax)

 

[Nakoatron]

Ring needs flats and a tort pickguard.


Good luck bro!

 

[Bassgeer]

Gorgeous bass and ring, I would definitely rock that in a metal band (the bass, not the ring )

Congrats!

Not a huge fan of the look of maple fretboard, the neck I don't mind so much.

But that color!

Unquestionably the best looking Dingwall I've seen

Now if it just had dark rosewood or ebony for the fretboard.....

 

[BigAlBass69]

Maple fretboard forever

Love the color and the Maple neck!

 

[Rolling Thunder]

Nice smoke screen!

Is this the ultimate TB thread? New Bass Day and carats?

 

[red_rhino]

I hope she says yes.

Either way, he gets a bass.

Good plan, except when you want another bass and have to buy her a house

Yes, subsequent reciprocal purchases are measured on the Richter Scale. FYI

 

[flashgod]

This is buying bass end boss level.
Please be us master.
