This pic is a few weeks old now, but it's the first time playing the Dingwall live. Doggone it, that bass is bad ass!

I fended the red ones off with my red Greco. This is tougher.

I like both the purple and blue! I might need to have a chat with my wife.

Nice! Just needs a black pickguard

Agreed!

Crap........Just bought a red one. I do have an understanding husband though.

I’m thinking the sparkle will sell my daughter on it. That’s the ticket!

Yep, those are sweet!

As long as we are spending Marshall's money and costing him internal organs, there's this one:

Gibson Thunderbird II Non Reverse 1967 Blue | Reverb

It's not even as absurdly out of reach as a whole lot of them are.

It’s Deja vu all over again.
I recognize that headstock crack. It might be ok, but that’s partly why that bass has been for sale for quite a while.

Love the headstock decal!

Oh man! I remember when most of the great audio equipment was made in Japan. Fisher was a flagship line with Macintosh, Sony, Pioneer, Panasonic...Some of those go for big $$$ on line like Ebay!
Looks like she's flat-lining on the O'scope!

In anticipation of our upcoming move, I've started modernizing my home theater stuff. I just recently bought two new stereo components, both Denon. Receiver and CD player. I only tend to replace stuff when I really need to. My previous Yamaha AVR was over 20 years old and my Panasonic plasma TV is almost 20. My beloved Oppo Blu-ray player, which I use for playing CDs, is starting to fail. The vast majority of my player usage is listening to CDs. I don't watch much TV. So since more recent BD players seem like disposable crap and are really bad at playing CDs, I focused my priorities and got a really nice Denon CD player and love it. And I needed a receiver with HDMI.

Well crap, they don’t expect them in until JUNE so I guess it could be justified to save up.

order now!

are both colours zzz exclusive?

They are both exclusive.

My excuse is "busy." I'm playing too much. I clean the frets and fretboard every 2-3 times I change strings. It's the back of the neck that I find requires the most frequent cleaning.

What is this “change strings”?

MacIntosh is (very) American….

When I was way into reading about the Esoteric stuff I would never be able to afford it was MacIntosh, B&O and Onkyo.

Move? Have I missed something? Are you transferring to L.A.?

We started talking about that bass like four years ago. At the time the ask seemed ludicrous. @D.M.N. tried talking them down. These days it’s looking like a bargain.

Mark Levenson was in that group as well…..heard T.C. Electronic hires designers from B&O…

Oops! Nice piece of American equipment!

It's what people who play the fun strings do to keep them fun.
