[quote name='RhysP' post='980402' date='Oct 7 2010, 11:56 AM']I'm calling dibs on first refusal for when you decide you still prefer your Yamahas.... [/quote] Not gonna happen this time my friend The TRB6p has gone and I am just left with the TRB6. The intention of this bass was to find the bass that was going to be my bass for now and the foreseeable future. I am totally fed up of all the searching and changing of basses, so after much research, a lot of travelling, a lot of contemplation and a lot of money ( ) here I am with my Dingwall and very happy I am too

Ha ha ha ha ha That seems to be the general reaction and was the reaction I first had when I saw it. It is simply stunning and a joy to play. Hopefully, and I don't want to tempt fate here, but just hopefully my GAS has been satisfied for a long while

Here is a picture of my new GAS purchase. I've wanted one of these since the first time I saw them and when I finally got to play one I just had to have it. This is the first time Dingwall have done what they call the "Blackout" which means they have blacked out the headstock and heal on the bass. I am so chuffed with it and it plays like a dream. Can't wait to take it out on tour. Hope you like it

[quote name='Musicman20' post='973981' date='Oct 1 2010, 01:51 PM']Thanks again! I think before I venture down EITHER a Big Al or Bongo route, I need to actually play one. Sterling 5 is a no brainer, I love the sound and the neck is the same as my Ray 5HS.[/quote] No worries and I agree. Try a load of them and try them back to back with you Ray 5HS - it will be become clear very quickly which path you will take. Keep us all posted

[quote name='Musicman20' post='973915' date='Oct 1 2010, 01:20 PM']Thanks for your input. Was it too modern, too much etc? I must admit I am quite old school in my tone department so Rays/Ps and sometimes a J bass are my main tones. I worried the Bongo will be just far too different for me and too modern. This is why the Sterling HS appeals to me, as its the old Ray 5 elecs in a slimmer body and more 'Ray 4' style pickguard. Plus, I love the sound samples ive heard. My worry is that ill get the Bongo, and the Ray 5/Sterling 5 gets more attention.[/quote] For me, it wasn't modern enough. My mainstay bass, until I got the Dingwall, was a Yamaha TRB6p which has a real "modern" attack to it. When I played them back to back, they were chalk and cheese and I just wasn't expecting that (though I should have known really and probably did!). I bought the Bongo because of John Myung from Dream Theater but of course he runs it through multiple stages to get the sound he achieves. Even though I run through a SansAmp Bass Driver into my Hartke rig, the sound was still fundamentally different and not what I was looking for. The Yamaha in the end became a little too noisy, for me when the treble was boosted and that had to go too hence why I bought a passive Dingwall. I really think if you like that old school tone but want some tonal variation, then maybe the Bongo will be well worth exploring but if you know what you like and I am learning that lesson really quickly, stick with what feels right. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! The problem, I find, with trying to find a new bass or just having GAS, is that you never know how it's going to perform / behave in the environment your used to playing in and unfortunately, there are no options to try before you buy, especially when your main environment is live work. If there was, I could have saved myself thousands of pounds and loads of heartache Good luck sir

I had a Bongo 6HH and I have to say it was one of the nicest basses I have played. The neck felt lovely and I did love the look of it too. However, I was not a fan of the 4 band EQ and I really didn't like the sound it produced. I laboured for quite a while to get the sound I wanted as I desperately wanted to hang on to it but I realised in the end that to get what I wanted I would have had to change the pups and circuitry which kind of defeated the object of having the Bongo in the first place. I don't know if that helps but give it a try and hopefully it will work for you. Great construction and top of the pops looks too. Good luck and keep us posted P.S. Why not try a Dingwall 5 string if you want to try something a little different. I just bought the AB1 series 6 string version and I have to be honest, it is stunning in every sense - very, very happy!!

[quote name='funkypenguin' post='963954' date='Sep 21 2010, 11:21 PM']Im stunned that you're selling this mate! have a bump on me![/quote] Yeah me too bud, bud I have really bad GAS for 2 amazing Dingwall basses and no matter how much I try and dismiss them, I can't. There is a part of me that is screaming no to this but every time I see the Dingwall's I just crumble. Hope you're well and speak to you soon. Take care and thanks -
I am very, very reluctantly selling my treasured Yamaha TRB6p series 1 (2 truss rod version) bass - the original and best in my honest opinion. The only reason for this sale is that I have been having a clear out of all my gear in order to buy a Dingwall 6 string bass. I have found 2 that I am totally in love with and have raised a good amount of money but not all of it, therefore this has to go to finance my Dingwall purchase. Anyway, this is in absolutely beautiful condition. It has been set up professionally and has a neck and ebony board to die for. It is a Translucent Blue colour which are getting harder and harder to locate and has a sound that caters for all styles. Through my Sansamp and Hartke rig, this bass ROCKS!!! It comes with it's original, brown Yamaha case and is currently strung with LaBella Supersteps. The string spacing is 19mm and the scale length is 34" and weighs in at around 10lbs. It currently has strap locks on that I will include. I am looking for around £1000.00 for this beauty and will consider delivery but would prefer collection or a meet to hand over the bass. I am not looking for trades please. I have my heart set on a Dingwall bass. If you want to try it, then obviously not a problem. Thanks for your time and hopefully hear from someone soon. Grab a rare, beautiful bargain while you can. Take care. Cheers, Matt P.S. Here are the tech specs directly from Yamaha - Construction Neck-thru-Body Scale Length 33-7/8" (860mm) Neck Maple/ Mahogany Fingerboard Ebony Nut Width 2-3/16" (56mm) Radius 39" (1000mm) Frets 24 Body Figured Maple/ Rose/ Maple Bridge BPZ-6 (with Piezo) Pickups Single Coil x 2, Piezo Pickup Pickup Switch 2 Balancer Controls 5-Control System Hardware Gold Color Translucent Blue [u]Piezo Pickups in Solid Brass Bridge[/u] The piezo pickups used on the TRB models use individual bimorphous piezo elements for each string, all built into a specially designed bridge which is machined from solid brass. [u] Figured Maple Body with Thru-neck Construction[/u] The TRB-series basses feature figured maple bodies that offer the requisite tone as well as outstanding visual appeal. [u]Neck-thru Models[/u] Because piezo pickups directly pick up the resonance of the instrument body, the body itself must be made from the finest woods and designed to deliver rich, deep tone. The neck-thru design of theses basses affords the best possible foundation for this amazing sound.

Bump for a great bass and a great bloke. I still can't believe this is here at this price. Good luck Ben
-
Thank you for your comments and input, appreciated I agree with the inlay bit for sure. Not sure how the colour would really matter and yes, 6 strings are not to everyone's taste but eitehr way this is a stunning instrument. I am going to get the inlay changed next month and then sell it again. In the mean time, any mods reading this, could you delete this thread please as the bass is now withdrawn from sale. Thanks
-
/\ || || || || || || In other words - BUMP for a lovely Saturday Come on folks, grab a bargain while you can. Only £900.00 for all of this. It's a steal....... Please don't make me put it on Evil Bay. This bass has to go and it needs a new home now. Please help it
-
Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. It is a lot of bass and will make someone very happy, so what are you all waiting for PM me please and buy this beauty
-
OK, this is the deal. I have found something I really want and therefore, prepared to let this go for an incredibly ridiculous price. How does £900.00 sound to you. This retails for well over £1600.00 and this bass I have is the original with Simms side LEDs. Do me and yourselves a favour and grab a bargain now. Go on, you know you want to
-
And BUMP again...... Enjoy your Bank Holiday folks.

[quote name='XB26354' post='939400' date='Aug 29 2010, 03:24 PM']I own an identical one of these in nirvana black. I sold it, regretted it straight away and when the chance came to buy it back I snapped it up. Nothing else had quite the punch or woodiness, even other Warwicks. A superb bass, even from top to bottom. Highly recommended.[/quote] It is a wonderful bass and for years it has been my mainstay. Like you, I have tried many other Warwick's and nothing compared to the sound of this. I have been through Corvettes, Thumb B.O. & NTs, Stage I and yet nothing beat this LX. I will be sad to see it go but for sentimental reasons and that is not enough reason, for me, to keep it. Thanks the post and recommendation to all who read this. Take care. Cheers, Matt

Sunday afternoon bump

All PM's replied to. Keep the offers coming guys and gals, I really appreciate them all. Take care. Cheers, Matt
-
No interest at all? I'll give it a Saturday Bump if you don't mind, but if there is no interest by Tuesday, I will withdraw this. Make me an offer folks. Have a good one
-
[quote name='claude' post='938262' date='Aug 27 2010, 05:01 PM']Thanks for your offer but I'm not a 6 or a five strings player[/quote] Fair enough Good luck with the sale, a beautiful bass.
-
A beautiful bass and I miss the one I had. Would you be up for a swap for a 1997 Warwick Streamer LX6 with Simms side LEDs? Always worth a try [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=100278"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=100278[/url]

Would anybody be interested in possible trades? I am looking for a great quality 7 string guitar (Ooops sorry!) and I would also be up for trading this with a Dingwall 6 string bass plus cash adjustment on my part or an Apple G5, Powermac etc. Thought I would put it out there
