  2. They are the only dealer I have no complaints with, always attentive, responsive and great listeners.  Will be using them again and can only recommend like all of the others who have posted.  Well done BD..........

    I had the chance to go and see them - this gig -

    but because they didn't fit in with the other music I was in to I was too cool to go 
    I kick myself because  people were talking about how great they were for what seemed like months after and my mate, who invited me, came back with this mirror badge.

    Giving away my age a bit here but saw them in the early '70s in Kilburn and they did Whiskey in the JAr....I was 13!  Saw them many years later and paid quite a bit for the ticket, great live.  He used to live in West Hampstead - Phil Lynott - and was always in a pub called the Birds Nest, always approachable.  His biography ..the Thin Man I think ... was a sad read if I remember rightly.  Drugs got the better.  Have quite a bit of Thin Lizzy in my collection, still listen avidly.........

  4. Great question, I worked on Mark Owen's house some years back as he was installing a recording studio at the end of his garden,  Security, water proofing, sound proofing, electrical supply, etc were expensive.  Even he was shocked but understood the implications.  Would get some trusted professional build advice including insurance coverage as well.

    I pulled the trigger on a Dingwall D-roc Standard 5 string last June ( to celebrate a milestone birthday ). It's due this month hopefully.

    Looking forward to my first foray into fan-fret basses.

    I have an Ibanez EHS fanfret .... so easy to play!  Envious of your Dingwall, enjoy it......
