markstuk Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) It does appear to be identical :-) You do realise this means we can never be seen in public together :-) Although I do think the wood grain pattern is nicer on yours.. But hey, I can't see it when I'm playing..

But hey, I can't see it when I'm playing..[/quote] What's the serial n# on yours *(stamped behind the headstock) ? mine is 4227, Sheldon Dingwall confirmed to me it was completed on 10th Dec. 2009 and it weighs 7.12lbs or 3.5Kgs. The pickups are Neodymium Humbuckers and the bass is passive, yet effing powerful and no need to worry about batteries. As for the wood grain, I disagree, I could say that maybe the grain on yours is more linear and tidy, yet I do like yours a lot too. You know the grass is always greener and all that... As for us being seen together with the same bass HAHA, imagine playing a bass duet with matching suits?

markstuk Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hi, looks like 4380 from what I can make out... Which would figure given that I suspect it was made mid 2010...

daz Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Lovely looking bass. How are those fanned frets? I wish id tried a bass with fanned frets at the recent bass day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I think Jools Hollands bass player uses one of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstuk Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Yes, it has fanned frets.. They're only odd/different at the top of the fretboard... Up to the 15/16th fret I seem to have adapted 100% in less than a day... It's absolutely brilliant.. But then having dropped over a grand I would say that :-) But it is.. I encourage you to give one a go.. You'll either love it or you won't.. I was hooked within the first five minutes...

LOL[/quote] Lovely basses. In a tenuous link I used to play in a band with 2 guitarists and they both played black telecasters with white scratchplates. They also both had those long fringes and dressed similarly... hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
