Dingwall ABI 5
Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar:
For sale is a Dingwall Afterburner I 5-string with wenge neck and Darkglass preamp in Ferrari Yellow. Not going to lie, won't be too sad if this doesn't sell.
34-37" scale. One of the best necks I've had on a bass; it plays and...
These are all incredible amps that I have spent many happy hours with, but it's time to find them new homes as when I am playing at home, I am playing the Hot Rod 25.
All prices shipped CONUS. Might consider trades but trying to downsize for a potential move.
Mesa Mark V:25
Brief &...
Idiotbox Blower Box. Huge low end and great gain from mild overdrive to almost fuzz like. No clean blend but it cuts fine and preserves low end without it.
I have a 30" Ultra VI that I sometimes use for bass duties, and run a LaBella .095 on the bottom. It's not perfect, but if you're using it as a guitar it's fine.
Yeah, it's got the newer Hipshot-ish bridge. Scale length would be 28.625", which is a popular baritone conversion scale length for 25.5" scale guitars (basically stick two frets past the nut on a Fender neck and that's what you get).
Ehh, not typically true. However, most tweeter implementations in bass cabs don't sound great with distortion. Other than that, try a couple tweeterless cabs at GC and see what you like; it's likely that Craigslist will have a bunch of big bass cabs for cheap cause no one can ship them.
My experience is dated (I bought mine in the early 2000s) but I've had great experience with a Schecter C-4 Elite (same shape); impeccably put together, sounds great, and lightweight. Still play it alongside Dingwalls, Fenders, etc. when I want that modern active vibe.
Some of this is close, but not quite correct. I can't get too in the weeds on this stuff for a range of reasons, but here's some resources/stuff to Google if you're interested:
1. Check the difference between the various IP regimes: copyright, trademark, trade dress, patent, design patent, etc...
The SRC6 will be closer to a bass, whereas the more traditional Bass VIs with the "strangle" switch are fun for more baritone guitar-y things. I ended up with a Ultra VI, which is a well-built instrument and it sounds pretty good.
