Barefaced Super Twin 2x12 (18Kg with tilt back wheels) always worked for me playing Classic/Heavy Rock in pubs and clubs, they also do a tweeter version now too if needed. Now I have a 1x12 4ohm Schroeder playing stuff that is not so heavy, the Super Twin doesn't get much action but I will always hang on to it.

I've gone from 2mm Gator Grip, down to .88mm Tortex Triangle, might be something to do with playing rounds a lot more now than heavy flats which I was using.

Just a quick update to this, I went with a custom gauge set from Newtone (108,88,68,48) Diamond, NPS, Hex Core. Very pleased with them. Cheers @MichaelDean for the recommendation, I didn't have to measure, just put the make model and scale lengths in when ordering.

Love the colour!

10.5" or 26.67cm hand span when at full stretch, from tip of little finger to thumb. Wedding ring was custom made, never had an issue with a bass being too big, but picking up pennies off the floor and fine stuff like soldering is a no.

Rickenbacker 4003S (not fussed on colour) Spector Euro 4 (again not fussed on colour) Dingwall Combustion 4 - natural ideally. Whether I will manage to purchase any of the above next year is another matter but these are what I would like currently.

I use a headphone amp, has EQ, aux in for my phone, DI out if needed and a few other bits that I don't use. I'd love to have an amp set up but being mid terrace and the wife always wanting stuff "tidy" its the best option for me.

I have a Dingwall ABZ 4 and as @BigRedX says I took to it in 5 minutes, I find the frets fall under my hand better and obviously the optimum tension for each string and the clarity it gives is great, I still use my other basses but I find this really comfy with the thinner frets too.

Four 51 P pickups in total or are they custom designed?

Very nice.

Love the colour.

I'll have a look. I think from what I read specs wise they are 38" "Speaking Length". Some say the total length is 50" which I thought was excessive.

I am right in thinking that XL scale strings, (38" ball end to silk) would fit my Dingwall ABZ 4? (E is at 36.25"). Just looking around at different options as I find the .100 E in the majority of multiscale sets too light for my taste. I use NPS strings and have found that EB make a set and so do La Bella so far, any other recommendations would be much appreciated.

Can we at least have clues? More than "It is definitely not an electrical household appliance" 😁

Whenever I see a @0175westwood29 post in this thread, I look at it like a Spot the Difference puzzle 😅 meant in the most positive way possible!
