Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2023?
woodyratm replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
I bought a Dingwall Afterburner 1 and it’s absolutely amazing. Got a kemper player ordered that I’m hoping will be fun. -
I bought this with the aim of using a 6 string more. But I’ve found I only use it for noodling! I’m much more of a 5 string player, so there’s no point this kicking around at the moment for me. Great condition and super easy to play (this was my first ever 6!). The previous owner got his tech to add the yellow lines on the body. I quite liked them, made the bass a bit more unique. They look like they were meant to be there. It’s got the Dingwall soft case and toolkit and has Dunlop strap locks - so if you use them, you’re golden. Currently setup G# D# G# C# F# B with Newtone strings (Northlane set) Based in Aberdeen, but can ship. I have boxes. Will grab more photos if needed 😊

I’ve started using them on my Dingwalls. Much happier than when I used the Schallers, much lower profile.

I’ve been a 4 player for years, but recently started playing down at G#. So much easier to use 5 or 6 strings! -
I’m selling another of my Dingwall basses. This bass is excellent, no marks that I’m aware of! Sounds fantastic and plays great. Currently setup for G# (with a 170 gauge string on the low string so would go lower with ease). I think I still have have a few payson strings too. It’s got the Darkglass tone capsule and is pretty versatile. I used it to record my bands latest single (https://open.spotify.com/track/7JvwBL17LKHuBQKjHlNY9b?si=8b2K9591SFKL4REjf62MCg) It was sold to me without a case, but I have one to put it in and have a box that it could be shipped in (and wrapped up insanely well!) Based in Aberdeen. (Will update with more pictures!) 😊

This thread makes me sad. I have had to replace my one of my basses about 3 times in 2 months. Using Payson. £15 for the low string each. They die so quick. I’m trying the Newtone strings on my new 6 and they’ll go on the 5 when back from Sims.

I wasn’t sure on this. So messaged them a while back.

Hi folks. I’ve moved onto 5 and 6 string basses so this bass is currently not being used. I bought it new from The Bass Gallery in the UK at the start of June. However, when my tech installed the strap locks (in the proper way I should add), the paint appeared to flake on the upper horn. Not sure why, not sure if there was an issue before and the strap pin replacement made it obvious or something… however, my guys have sealed it again (sans one piece of paint that went missing at a band practice). Highly annoying. I have included a photo of this. (They have advised that the didn’t use a drill or electric screwdriver to screw in too quick etc so who knows). There’s no other marks on it. It’s been used for maybe one or two band practices before I decided to use 5s, and has not been gigged yet. The photos don’t show it well but it’s a lovely white pearl finish. It’s currently tuned to CGCF. I’ll include the strap locks too. Based in Aberdeen, Scotland but happy to ship.

My guitarist is in C, but uses the helix drop at times. i’m G# D# G# C# F# (and B if playing the 6).

Which Dingwall was it? I’m wondering if it’s one I’ve purchased 😂 I’ve bought and sold loads with Will. I’ve loads of time for him. Great guy.

I’ve injured myself in a variety of ways in the past, back, legs, shoulders, wrists. You name it, I’ve hurt it! I used to do obstacle races loads and did thai boxing. One of my Thai coaches suggested i try something called Kinetic chain release when I’d gubbed my knee at tough mudder. Physio wasn’t helping and I was getting low (emotionally… I couldn’t even bend my knee to use the bog!) Gave it a shot and it was night and day. I have no idea how it works or why. But it’s helped when I’ve broken myself. I still call the person who does it my witch doctor. I should add, I am not spiritual in the slightest. She had helped with loads of other conditions (sciatica etc) that people I knew had. I think there are practitioners everywhere, I would certainly give it a look!

We had a guy buy our first EP and describe us as “Cyber Nu-Metal”; new one on me! also countryfile… and Reddit!?

Yeah - Will is pretty responsive on phone or WhatsApp. I’ve bought and sold a fair amount of basses with him.

Ahhh that’s a fair one. The Ibanez fanned fret bass maybe? EHB I think?
-
I would think a normal 5 string would be fine. Though I can vouch for Dingwalls. Great basses.

My wife’s dads was entertaining (musically). Walking in was stuff like the bare necessities, born to run etc. At the end, he insisted he wanted firestarter (he was being cremated), run like hell (to tell everyone to bugger off) and schools out (again to say it was done). He was a great guy. We Miss him. -
Pay-to-play? Play-for-exposure? How about BOTH?

Awful. -
I agree. Bolt on necks only too

Some of them look lovely. Weird about the graphite though. FWIW if anyone wants a 4 string “classic” Chris wolstenholme with neck through and more graphite than you can shake a stick at… hit me up 😂 The dude who recently bought it on eBay doesn’t appear to be paying. Sigh.
