Get rid.. you'll drive yourself crazy otherwise... Have you recorded him playing at a rehearsal? Always an interesting experience..

Thomann suggest they'll have them in late September

Great service... I had a similar experience with hipshot recently

Very profound :-)

I was going to put a John East preamp (the Uni pre 5) in mine before I succumbed to another Dingwall.... [quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1472760631' post='3124070'] The new Cort Artisan A Plus, B Plus and C Plus basses now employ a Markbass MB-1 EQ in place of the old Bartolini design preamp. [/quote]

Low riders.. Just changed from Hi Beams on my Jazz 5 and there is a noticeable difference...

Looks like one of the guys who worked for One Man Band before they went purely keyboards..

Usually Dingwall ABZ --> RH750 --> Barefaced Super12T

Sorry, I did not read your original post properly... The lack of tension you're looking results in the amplitude being greater as you described.. You could not dig in as much, but that's going to affect your tone..

Generally my experiences with Mark (and all of his staff) have been pretty good.. It's a given that Mark is Mr Opinionated, but that is somewhat refreshing IMHO. I think it is a challenging place to go into sometimes, and you can be left alone twiddling your thumbs a little, but other times it's very welcoming..

would not some form of gps collar/transmitter with your contact areas co-ordinates mapped in not work better?

Try some DR low riders if you want some extra tension (less compliance technically :-) ) - just put them on my Jazz 5 and made a noticeable difference from the existing Hi-Beams..

Beautifully built, great components, silky smooth to play - for me the only weakness is the bart mk1 clone preamp...

I have a lovely Cort A5 custom SP for sale on here :-)

I'm selling the Mesa :-)

It's four years old - and I paid quite a lot less than list. But still expensive but I suspect that this may well kill my GAS

Dingwall Z3 - could not be happier. [attachment=226795:z3a.jpg]
