Totally personal preference. Bear in mind the fret positions all over the neck vary slightly (if same scale length) depending on the number of frets. I don't play anything with less than 24, for the only reason that it is most comfortable for me. I find it odd playing on the 12th fret so far down the neck on 20 fret types etc.

[quote name='Bearfist' timestamp='1469019219' post='3095113'] I love them, il be honest i got my first one with a Wenge neck purely because i thought it looked cool. But having had a few now, some with Wenge and some Maple i'm definitely a big fan of the feel and tone. [/quote] Absolutely, I have had Maple, Walnut and Wenge necked Dingwalls and the Wenge necks are superior in feel and tone for me. The walnut wasn't too far off, the maple sounds too clinical.

I guess technically they will allow spacing as close as the saddles touch each other, which at a guess would be around 16.5mm. I'd check for you but I am Warwickless again, but this time with no plans to return

Thinking about it, on the rare occasion I have owned a bass with a pick guard covering controls, I tended to hold the guard down with my thumb as i pulled the cable out with my fingers. Never actually thought this would happen though. It certainly can't be normal!

There's a GAS kill if I ever saw one! Sorry dude! What kind of wood strips like that, must be super soft?

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1468949301' post='3094603'] Man, you might regret it! Andertons have announced USA products are rising in price. [/quote] This is Mexican made, isn't it?

[quote name='maldy' timestamp='1468878052' post='3094053'] Not sure how accurate this is, but it seems to be the story of the original bass. $35k!!! https://m.reddit.com/r/Bass/comments/4sfvij/how_flea_got_the_worlds_coolest_bass_his_1961/d59oa2x [/quote] Anthony kiedis intimidated a guy into giving Flea a bass, because Flea didn't have the money? Hmmm! I think he may well have jumped at the chance of owning one of Fleas actual basses and then felt a bit silly afterwards. If any of it is true at all!

Darkglass B7K Ultra, if you can stretch to it. Exceptional bass preamp and DI with switchable dirt.

It's a nice upgrade, particularly if your bass has the Just a Nut II fitted. Awful nut!

This is such a bizzare argument.

[quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1468796662' post='3093434'] The Behringher pedal allows 2 basses to be plugged into to the same input and the levels set by the controls on the pedal, put your foot on the pedal you can switch between 2 basses, why is this muppet making an issue of something so simple!! [/quote] I'm sorry, but have you got one? The instructions very clearly say that you are wrong, and the Level controls control the Output level of each Output, not the input gain of each input. Then again, this is Behringer and I'm happy to believe the instructions could be wrong! However, based on what it say, Tauzero is spot on.

True, but if people are stupid enough to buy it.... He doesn't try to make out its rare, unusual e.t.c.

Eww. Sure it a nice bass to play but aesthetically not my thing. Agree with other comments, you would expect a once piece body at that price point, unless there is a fundamental reason why it should be two piece (Dingwall's dual density body, for example).

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1468768153' post='3093186'] As a comparison, I think a 212 would be a better sound solution that 2x112, IME... [/quote] Interesting, any particular reason why? I ask as I am considering purchase a 212, or buying another 112. I am favouring the former as having two Vanderkely 112MNT's is a big investment, whereas I can get a 4ohm 212 for much less.

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1466777956' post='3078744'] I wanted to go back from a 5 to a 4 so got one with the double stop lever and detune the E to D and B. Once you get them set up they're pretty much set and forget. You just need to remember to tune them as per the video on the website. I use Chromes and have a 110 for an E string it took me about 45 minutes to set both lower tunings but that's it set now [/quote] You use a 110 for low B? Be interested to hear it! Basically, my opinion of these is that if you need to drop mid song, then they are invaluable. Any other use, its just as easy to quickly tune down, you'll learn to do it by ear and muscle memory quickly, I can easily just give my tuning key a quick turn without thinking about it and hit D on the nose. I do have one fitted to one of my basses, I hardly ever use it. But they are very good at doing what they do, no complaints!

[quote name='Iheartreverb' timestamp='1468756552' post='3093094'] Thanks, some solid advice. I got to gigs a lot and see 210 combos all over the place and smaller cabs (112/ 212) but with my experience of trying stuff like that (especially with markbass) it just doesn't sound as "big". I suppose I have two sets of issues. Will I get the sound I want and will it compete with the guitars. I know a 410 is the answer really but I don't want to be one of those bands who think they're bigger than they are. I was in bar last night and saw the load in for the venue downstairs which was two Marshall MG30 practice amps! [/quote] Have you considered a 2x12?

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1468753766' post='3093056'] I`ve no doubts a Terror and BF210 will be loud enough, but will there be the depth of sound that you need? I`d probably be looking at the BF410 (or any other good 410) for this. More speakers give that depth to the sound that some equate to volume but its just a bigness which enables to the sound to have a constant presence. [/quote] Key info there, its not all about how loud you can get. I would try a ported 410 and compare.

Great choice, you will love it

[quote name='M@23' timestamp='1468673547' post='3092547'] I'd agree with all of that 😎 [URL=http://s1240.photobucket.com/user/mattdigweed/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160507_104036_zpsohtevf0v.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg488/mattdigweed/Mobile%20Uploads/20160507_104036_zpsohtevf0v.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/quote] And Vanderkley too, great minds!
