SHOW YOUR 6'S

That Smith on the right is sex! Is that a bolt on????? What's the top?

Thanks! That's a 2004 BSR6P, and it is a bolt-on. The top wood (and back) is Bubinga, with a maple core and tiger maple center. The BT6G on the left is a neck-through, with a mahogany core and tiger maple top and back. They do sound quite a bit different.

All these nice basses are makign me anxious. 4 months and I get my first 6. It's being built right now by Mr. Sheldon Dingwall.

Another fellow Ding-aholic!:hyper:

I had given up trying 6str basses cause I could find nothing that was comfortable enough for my hand, but once I've tried the Dingwalls It was the most comfortable 6str ever. The sound matches the striking beauty of those. You will not regret it
 
Elrick 6 strings.

The two on the right have been changed since the pic. An additional pair of Nord SE installed with the Barts Jazz pups. And on the end, swapped out the Bart pre for a Audere, and changed Bart soaps to Nord DC's.
 
Love the pics. Hoping to get a 6 or 7 one of these years.

BTW, just curious how many of those of you who have high-end basses (especially those who have multiples) are playing full-time?

I play regularly, but don't think I could justify to my wife and kids the purchase of even one high-end ($2000+) bass. Just wondering how you guys pull it off?
