      I'd been wondering if a school of them had swum up the river by mistake...

      which one are you getting?

      None, only dolphin of interest to me is a regular spaced 5 NT. 4s too wide, broadneck is crazy wide! 

  2. Presume this is a typo? All Streamer Stage 1's of this era were broadneck as standard, you needed a SSII for a regular width without a custom order 🙂 This is a broadneck and a beauty, spoilt for choice on the forum at the moment! Good luck with the sale.
  3. Surprised this is still here!
  4. Warwick Thumb NT. No bass has spoke to me as much as this model. I don't even use one as my number one player now, but it still fits me the best.
  5. Price drop to £250. 🙂
  6. Incredible basses if you have the hands for them! 😍

    Darkglass X7

    You need to spend time with them, honestly the AO and b7k are very different! X7 seems like a b7k replacement, but until I try it its hard to tell. Ill likely grab an X.
  8. Love this bass!
  9. Little photoshoot with my thumb...
  10. Darkglass B7K Ultra pedal, in great condition with no issues. Amazing unit, selling as I'm downgrading to a B3K as I don't use the preamp features of this unit any more. Actual image incoming, but its this one:- Price includes shipping in UK.

    Darkglass X7

    Glad you popped in I've got enough preamps on my board so I'm interested in the X. Difficult to tell where this will sit/ what tonal signature this will be comparable to. Obviously, the BK and AO are very different, whether this will be different enough again to justify owning all three remains to be seen... My guess is this could be a BK replacement for many. Can't see how it could replace the AO.
  12. if you look at multi scale necks for the sake of one string, i don't think they're for you
  13. Watch your hand move up and down a regular neck, your hand can get pretty angular, depending on your strap position. It is as useful as the string tension for me.
  14. I guess its just personal experience. I play Dingwalls and am used to that scale on a fanned fret instrument. I guess I am interested why builders go to the extra engineering efforts for just a 1.5 inch spread i.e. what benefits are we getting from a top string just 0.5 inches longer than many regular 5s? Like you say, many would say the spread should be more like 36-32, which is a 4 inch spread, so even larger. I am sure it isn't, but to me with these mini fans it does kinda look like multiscale for the sake of multiscale. The Super Jazz and P are Dingwalls efforts at a classic design and they chose that scale length to make it feel like a more traditional bass, as opposed to the long reaches of the AB and Combustion ranges. That's the only reason from what I recall.
  15. You beautiful people!!! NYXL are tasty little strings, my 4 string Dingwall has a set on (Super Long scale, I had to tell your FB rep they would fit 😂😉), my Warwick is Jealous!! Currently loyal to Dunlop Super Brights, but allegiances could change! Gimme a set for my little German Thumb and I will be fully NY'd up. And when they finally have had the life squeezed out of them, I will tie them end to end, make a heart shape from them and make it an Instagram meme to remember!
  16. Mehhh. The fan is too small (like the Ibanez really, why bother doing it at all?), it is far too light for me (my 8lb Dingwall is borderline) and I dunno, I'm just not taken by the overall look. Biggest point of interest to me is the bizarre neck cave, which I presume is being carried over from the guitar. Interested to see how that feels to play.

    New Darkglass Pedal

    Well actually, that was the change to the pedal. The B3K now has the tone knob used on the amp amongst other things, which for me is a huge improvement It still very much has its place in the line up , for space and simplicity I have considered swapping out my B7KU for a new B3K as I use the AOU as a master preamp so technically its overkill, although certainly has its uses.

    New Darkglass Pedal

    Darkglass released their first comp around 9 years ago or so, its an ongoing development. Certainly not a new or recent area for them! I don't think they are hell bent on trying to conquer the compressor market, Doug just has a real passion for it, hence its constant development. This is his best yet, and undercuts many other high end pedal compressors in cost. Ultimately though, its a compressor, and unless you know how to use on effectively, you shouldn't go near one. The B3K was upgraded this year and has far from been superseded

    First impressions are very good. I have basically set it up in FET mode as I had my Cali76 unit, using the knobs and the suite, with the added bonus of setting the HPF to the Hz. It sounds fantastic, and seems to have an extra depth that I don't recognise from the Cali. Not used the BUS mode yet, but the SS mode sounds like the Super Symmetry to my ears, and also reiterates my view on preferring 1176 type action. Ill keep playing!
