    Came very close to buying this bass! If it had a fifth string I would have I bet this bass looks entirely different depending on the light Crazy finish!

    I may wait for the first batch cast offs in January....

    [quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1450220806' post='2930771'] thinking about it - I think the dingwall had a flat fingerboard, and that wasn't slow, but again it is hard to compare [/quote] It would have been a custom spec if so, no Dingwall boards are flat as standard, most of the higher end ones have a compound radius, which is really nice.

    [quote name='dincz' timestamp='1450294232' post='2931499'] I'd expect a 20" radius board to be barely disinguishable from flat. [/quote] This. To be honest, I don't notice too much of a difference at all really, but certainly a 20" board will feel very similar. Far more noticeable will be the Asymmetric carve!

    Bass sold, pending usual.

    Darkglass Super Symmetry, couple of months old in mint condition with box and a little velcro on the bottom. Selling due to Christmas spendings and it is the most disposable pedal I have, will buy again when funds are replenished in the New Year I'm sure Price includes Special Delivery shipping in UK. Rest of World shipping extra.

    I'll just confirm again if I may that the asking price is £1,100. Any trade offer needs to equal this value int total for me to consider it iv had a few offers of trades that have come some way under my valuation, I won't consider these Cash offers, however, are welcome

    [quote name='largo' timestamp='1450127967' post='2929928'] Wouldn't the standard SS2 have ying yang inlays too? Guessing this is a custom. [/quote] Ha, I didn't even notice that glaringly obvious fact! There is no chance it was originally a fretless? Side fret markers in correct place for fretted?

    Think Darkglass, but more aggressive and more distorted, its a beast of a pedal
  10. Kev
    I'd like to try one, particularly as you had the Darkglass and the full sized Cali and chose this over them both.

    [quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1450028038' post='2928906'] Pedal is now ready to order, tempting! €426, so around £308 delivered, expensive but still a good price compared to how much Deep Impact have been selling for! [/quote] Yes, but the kind of people paying £700 for a Deep Impact will not be considering buying this. The Bass Whammy reissue was price much better, has sold well and killed off the market for the vintage ones as it sounds and works better all round. Digitech, though, are somewhat larger and the costs of getting this off the ground may well have been high. I'm still so torn on this. It needs to be a big improvement on the Deep Impact to justify the price tag.

    Lovely bass, this. Pictures don't do it justice, my favourite part was the stunning fingerboard, lovely grain:-
  14. Kev
    Great to see one of these up with a good price for once! GLWTS
  15. Kev
    It is bloody expensive, but I can still see myself ordering one...

    [quote name='Matte_black' timestamp='1449870666' post='2927739'] I owned a Thumb 5 (2006) with Ebony fingerboard (fretted). It wasn't a custom shop, though. [/quote] Ebony is standard on Thumb basses, not SSII's GLWTS

    Considered installing a Nordstrand Bigman pickup? Larger route than a normal MM Humbucker so may let you do away with the pickguard...as well as having a monster of a pickup

    Gig bags

    Kev replied to Twigman's topic in Accessories and Misc

    How does the M80 compare in size to the Vertigo? The Vertigo is an excellent case, best 'bag' I have come across. Mono also do the Bass Sleeve which, whilst a little thin on protection, will certainly be one of if not the smallest bag you will find.

    [quote name='ovialexm1' timestamp='1449223001' post='2921627'] Looks wenge because of light... is Ebony! ☺ Warwick used ebony for fingerboard! [/quote] This will have to be a custom order, as wenge was the standard for SSII fretted basses, unless this was originally a fretless Close up picture would quickly reassure buyers
  21. Kev
    Aha, the one to replace the ABI and NG2 is revealed! Stunner
  22. Kev
    Will now consider trades, preferably with cash my way (and certainly no cash the other way!). 5 strings or more only please.
  23. Kev
    MEC stuff is very expensive for what it is, your best bet is to look at EMG replacements. Have someone look st the electronics, though. The eighties MEC preamp is nicely voiced and its be worth repairing if possible. Could possibly be the active pickups too.
  24. Kev
    Watching the buckeye one with interest!
  25. Kev
    I know! I chose walnut as it is an excellent tonewood, why not go for a gorgeous piece? Besides, I get to see it . They could have made several topwoods out of that piece too - check the build diary to see the size of the original slab! Haha
