Bass anyone?

[Simon Dorn]

Just sold my Warwick Corvette after having only Warwick basses for years, and picked this up new- Dingwall NG2, factory setup for BEAD. This into Neural DSP Parallax is just unstoppable. The longer scale 36.5” low B is unreal.

@Simon Dorn have you tried Parallax? Killer tones and riffs as usual! Love me some ESP

No, i haven't tried it. Thanks.

Highly recommend. NDSP is running a sale this week so it should be half off at $50 or so. It’s a game changer for the heavies.

I’ve got a Spector Pulse 4-string and a Peavey Millennium 5-string, just sold a cheaper Warwick 5-string because I never use it and it only sounded decent with light gauge strings.

I have periods where I love playing bass more than anything else, they usually come in 3-week bursts where I’ll get my technique up to par and usually add in a new bass technique, then promptly forget 75% of what I learned immediately after. Last thing I was working on was Ryan Martini’s two-handed technique that pops up in this chorus- (1:00)


Fuckin’ youtube copywrite claim bullshit won’t let me embed the vid-

I have the NG3 version of this, I swapped out the individual bridges for the Payson one piece bridge. I still need to swap out the tuners, knobs and string tree for black to finish it up.

Definitely update when you finish it. I like the fret markers too! How’s that bridge?

I rather use the Ampeg. But thanks for the Tip.

Mesa Titan V12 with GK Neo 412. This has one of the nicest tubey sounding overdrives from an amp I've heard. Can get loud as hell too without even trying.

A selection of preamps through my Blue Voodoo 300 and Ashdown Rootmaster 610. The BV300 has a near identical power section as a SVT. With the Ampeg preamps I get that classic SVT sound that's not too far off from the real thing. Plus the added bonus of a few extra tones from the other preamps.

An Ashen Miley that came in the other day. It's a little 5 watt all tube amp. I can get some really classic sounding (think Ampeg B15) tones out of it. Also give some nice and responsive overdrive sounds without the ear splitting volume when you push it. It's not going to keep up with a full band, but can get some very respectable volume through the 610. I think it'll make a great little recording amp.

I have a small assortment of basses. A couple worth mentioning are a couple of Ibanez SR series, Ibanez Talman, Hagstrom 8 string octave, and Hofner Galaxie short scale. I also have a Michael Kelly Dragonfly fretless acoustic.

Primarily a guitar player, but I have a MIM Fender Jazz Bass with Dimarzio Pickups, Emerson kit and Flatwound strings. For what I need, it's is perfect. Thinking about getting a Headrush MX-5 strictly for bass. They're relatively inexpensive and have just about everything I would need for the times I play bass. The new POD units are intriguing too.

Will do, I really like the bridge, the stock ones just didn't feel right, felt cheap, and if I were playing down by them they would dig into my hand. This is a big improvement.

I’m getting ready to put my Spector Euro Classic on the market. If anyone’s interested hit me up

This is an AMAZING bass. Plays epic, and sounds really good.
