  1. Is this version 1?
  2. Me three. I use my Dingwall Super P5 for most of my flatwound 5-string P duties and my TRB5P for my roundwounds ones so I definitely don’t need this… but…
  3. I remember, when I was looking around at acoustic bass guitars, that these were THE ones to get. I don’t think I could now justify getting a third when the existing two constantly get ignored for my upright or electric upright, but part of me is tapping me on the shoulder and saying “PLEEEEEEEASE?!”
  4. That looks lovely. Would look lovelier next to my fretted one… 🙈
  5. Intrigued by these. How do they compare to the Pedaltrains? Looks very similar in dimensions to my Classic 2.
  6. True, in the course of a recital each piece might only use one or two of the strings. I guess it’s similar to how I might only use the B string on my 5-string basses once in certain songs. This is probably a better example of the sub bass strings being more fully utilised!
  7. Classical guitars can have more strings for extended bass, similar to harp guitars. I have an 8-string short-scale classical guitar handmade by Swedish master luthier Georg Bolin. Here is a 10-string being put to wonderful use.
  8. Absolutely - a medium scale ACG for this money!
  9. Ugh. This is tempting and I work in Selsdon so really not far from you…
  10. These really are terrific basses. I was just playing my modified 205 a few minutes ago, it has become my “around-the-house” bass as it is so comfy to play… and this in a house that has two Dingwalls, two Sadowskys, two 90s Japanese TRBs and two pre-CBS Precisions… they really are that cool!
  11. May be helpful to clarify the width and length range.
  12. I have one of these, it’s a surprisingly nice amp for the size and money!
  13. What is the neck like on these? Very interested, but the thin Soundgear necks give me hand cramps.
  14. Forgot to ask - what is the weight?
  15. Very very tempted by this. Let me know if you find yourself in London…
  16. Will it go shorter if the hole end is wrapped into the innermost hole and all the way back down to the outermost one again?
  17. Used to be mine. It’s no exaggeration to say that this instrument held its own in a stable of Dingwalls, Sadowskys and lots of other high end axes - a lot of bass for the money.
  18. This used to be mine - a monster instrument which will sound even more monstrous now with the J Retro Feluxe pre!
  19. I haven’t actually played it for a while as I got a bunch of other basses which have captured my attention. Will get it out again one of these days!
