I recently had the opportunity to capture my two biggest passions in one smug/show-off -ish photo!
This is me with my beloved 1965 Ford Mustang V8 and my Dingwall NG3-5 Metalflake Aquamarine dream bass!
Never thought that it would be a possibility for me to own either one of these beautiful creations, but somehow I managed to make a living for myself that allowed me to purchase these things.
A teacher once told me that "You just don't have what it takes to complete high school. You might as well drop out!". I felt like a failure for years after that, but I'm pretty sure I make a better living today than he ever did, so...
I did a NBD-thread when I got the bass. There's better pictures of it there: NBD: Dingwall NG3-5
Recently installed Fishman Fluence modern bass in my SRC6 and changed out the cheap black plastic knobs for hardware-matching cosmo black ones
Next thing I'm doing to it is probably sanding the "walnut" finish off and staining it black or perhaps black, then sand that back some, and put in some purple
My current Number One:
And my goth rocker:
I thought about posting a cheeky pic of my 8-string guitar that is currently tuned to D1 LOL but no...
Large improvement over the EMG HZs that were in it before. The switch and push/pull pot gives me a lot of sounds, and tbh if used as a drop-tuned baritone guitar it sounds pretty f'ing brutal imo lol
The "hifi"/scooped voices are pretty much unusable in that context, though; you literally hear clicks from touching pick to string >_>
But yeah, I'm probably putting a set of 5-string Fluences in my Stiletto Studio 5 that also has EMG HZs
