    Did anyone here try it at NAMM?
  2. therealting
    Fair enough, mate. Will have a think! These are great straps, I bought two Dingwall badged ones some time ago.
  3. therealting
    Are they £40 each, or £40 for the both of them (I’ll take them if the latter)?
  4. therealting
    They are.

    Anyone in the Midlands after a cheap 4-string version, this is on eBay. £90 (not mine) https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F173683803019

    Rounds and flats?

    I have a 435 which is very similar. Satin neck. Doesn’t feel rough to me, but not *quite* as smooth as the back of my Sadowsky or Mk I TRB6 for example.

    It’s very well made and sounds great (I have tapewounds on it). I had been looking at vintage at the time and realised it was a better and more reliable instrument for less money, which suited me as I didn’t think it would become my main axe.

    String through body I think!

    Any medium scale news from NAMM? Shorties seem to be popular this year.
  12. therealting
    I have two short scales (MIJ Mustang and a Hofner Violin) which I’m probably going to move on as medium scale suits me better. Those are worth a look.

    I had the sharp nut issue on a fanned fret Ibanez when I owned one - easy to sort out with a file (I used a nail file!). Sounds like this is worth the asking price!
  14. therealting
    I wonder if the strings feed through the blocks.
  15. therealting
    The Dingwall Supers are 35” on the B string (32” on the G), so a little closer. Personally I really like the fan on the Supers and have a feeling the 1” difference won’t be enough to sway it for me. Having said that, £170...?!
  16. therealting
    Hofner Violin? Kala U Bass?
  17. therealting
    Don’t be fooled by the low price of the BBs. My 435 gets more playtime than my Dingwall Super P...
  18. therealting
    The MIJ Mustangs are excellent.
  19. therealting
    Wonder how a passive bass boost works...!
  20. therealting
    Just seen this IG post from Mattisson basses of some mods they did to a couple BBs... pretty tasty!

    My Yamaha BB435 ticks all those boxes for much less than £1k
  22. therealting
    Doesn’t look like my thing, but would like to see it played before making my mind up for sure. I didn’t like the BBs until I saw them in playing position.
  23. therealting
    Admittedly a few years ago, but I paid around £3k total for these two.
  24. therealting
    The difference is between a production line and team-built custom shop vibe, I guess. Not sure which this would be for Strandberg, hopefully the latter!
  25. therealting
    If you are happy to pay Nash prices, I would strongly consider a Bravewood.
