Pinball

It was trying a deluxe 4 H that gave me the confidence to buy the V Standard. Fender clearly believed in the Dimension, when you see how they spread though the range so quickly. I'd love a deluxe V H for using live but couldn't justify a 2nd unless I sold my other basses. The active £1000+ market is really tough and overcrowded, with many established names e.g. MM's, Sandbergs, Warwick, G&L etc.

Well I used it at band practise tonight and the bass got the thumbs up. Nice and easy to dial in and comfy too. Thats the ultimate test passed.

You hit the nail on the head there. I know from experience that putting material up there on it's own is a waste of time becuase no one other than your close cirlcle, will find it and it will just sit there. My expectations are realistic. The recordings and physical CD's are really there to as promo's in order to see how it goes. Gigging and selling albums + Bandcamp will do for my promotion purposes. The other thing I can do is to ensure that web pages are up to date and in good order. You have to drive yourself down this musical highway! OMG I feel a song coming on

Thanks, it sounds like "Bandcamp" and selling when out "Gigging" are the best ways to go.

Yep that's representative.I play finger style and with a pick. Usually I favour the neck pickup but like all the sounds on this. All usable sounds, with a bit of growl. Great fun

Just relauching this post in case anyone has any updates on thoughts. My Bands album is still in production but I have this and also a solo album. It seems that the cost of producing CD's and covers is now quite low as a package but I still need to put them up for sale on line some how.

Cool I'd be interested to hear what others think as there is hardly any info on them out there.. I'm going to try it with my band. I've used a Stringray and ATK recently so this is a totally different beast. I don't expect it to be a replacement but it will be interesting non the less. Note: I turned up with a fretless 5er one week and got dirty looks all night long heehee I reckon Fender should have brought out the passive version first to see how the traditionlists found it...

It's feels good to me. It ergonomics seem to suit a higher head position than my Stingray when standing. Nice and confortable

Yes the Squires seem really good for the money. I saw a headliner called Ironvolt recently at the Exchange in Bristol and their bassist was using one. It sounded great I wanted to try a passive bass, which is what I like to record with. The other that I fancied was a G&L Kiloton 5 but I have never seen one of these within my budget. I'm impressed with the Dimension. Lots to like such as the neck, light weight sensible truss adjustment (not that I have needed to use it) and cool voice. There is nothing that I dislike so far.

I played a Dimension 4 a while back and liked it so decided to look for a black or red 5'er and have been looking for one in my budget for at least 6 months! I got there in the end though. I mainly use active 5 strings but the Dimension Standard V HH is passive, with a cool voice of it's own. It is strong, yet musical and distinct from Jazzers and Precisions. I love it, as it just talks to me and wants to be played! I'm still in the honeymoon period as you can tell but I'm pretty blown away to be honest. It handles really well for a five stringer too. It is such a shame that these aren't more common. Does anyone else play one of these and if so is it working for you? Note: Mine is like this.
