Thanks for the heads up. I hope I like the Stringjoy strings because I get them overnight without having to pay for overnight shipping since they are local to me. Sadly, I called them and asked if I could pick up at their office and they say they do mail order only, no ability to sell to walk in customers. That sucks since they are only a few miles from my office.

So far my favorite round is D’Addario NYXL. Favorite flat is GHS Precison Flat or Laballa Low Tension.

On my Dingwall I typically use Dingwall strings although extra long D’Addarios fit....barely!

You can get them at Carter’s, I believe. Two Old Hippies also sells them, for future reference.

Not really aimed at you, just commenting on the product. Many people would like to see a NR T-bird like bass in the loop, just wish they went a little further. Mike Lull did a nice job with his T-bird like bass.

No worries...
I am curious what kind of price difference there would be from an Ashdown to a Mike Lull. I have not seen any listings for the Ashdown models but I am willing to bet they’re not even close.

This J-Ray from New York Bass Works is absolutely killer. Amazing tone. I’ve played it now three different times. One of the best basses here.

Prices on Ashdown site converted to USD range from $1,170 to $1,300.

Hmmmm, that’s a stretch
Not sure that’s going to be competitive without some serious promotional advertising and endorsements.

Well English my third language.So You can imagine that after know two complete different language such a mistakes happen .
But it will be fun If you write in Farsi and then We count yours .
I am sure it will be much more than mine .

Unfortunately, I don’t know any Farsi—although it is a beautiful language.

I hate when a hunk of wood jumps off the page and speaks to me. This one ticks all the boxes.
Damn it.

Sorry to let down the Fender fans but Fender didn’t have much in the way of basses to show.
Here’s a custom shop though.

Can you imagine that those George Harrison strats are $25,000 each????

For that kind of money, it should come with a tiny vial of his ashes.

I agree, it looks a little on the MIC under 1k side. I'd spend my money on a Cataldo if that is the style I was after.
