Alright, thanks guys. I've had a bad experience with Mighty Mite as well, so probably won't go that route. Might just save up for a custom build if I start playing bass more frequently.

I got a new bass last week, my first 5-string in several years. Fun Fact(s): I hate face dots AND I think sonic blue is the worst finish for instruments ever. But, we've had this extra body for years and just happened to have an extra neck... so yay, I'm back into the B-strang thang.

:animal: I used to not dig maple boards, but now I have 4 basses with them. The Nordies are one piece maple necks though, to me that makes a big difference from a glued on board. I loooooove my maple fretless board on the Bordwell, although the Dingwall I kinda wished I would have gone for alder/wenge instead of ash/maple. I adore that bass, but I'm not sure it's "me" just yet.

That acrylic shit SUCKS when it breaks. Ugh, sorry that happened. But I hope the beer was good. :joy:

Sonic Blue has grown on me quickly. With the black hardware I dig the looks of this one, but I very rarely like solid finishes at all, let alone bright pastels. But hey, she has a great personality, so I can dig it.

Holy crap behndy those Carl Thompson photos RAWK. I've never played one or even seen one in person up close, but I mean come on, I started fucking bass because of Claypool playing the Rainbow thang, so I have to always give them some love.

EDIT: Holy shit I think this is my Bass Anniversary Week, which now makes it 20 years of thumping about. I'm getting OLD, but I still act like an idiot, so :joy: for that.

Crappy cell pic!
My new Dinger! IndigoBurst (custom color, changes from blue to purple in sunlight), Alder body, maple neck, wenge fretboard. My first passive bass in a long time. Lots of solid tones with the different pickup selection options (parallel/series, single or both) . The neck pickup is a Dingwall P pickup, pushes those mids like I like, I also have the original pickup too.If I want active I'll put a John East P Retro in it, so I can easily do active/passive and have that passive tone control still. I will definitely wait a bit before deciding anything though, especially since I have an EQ pedal on my board now.
This bass plays so smoothly. It's the workhouse now. I ordered a Mono Vertigo for it. Gotta protect my baby.

I hope you hate it with a passion, a fiery passion that you makes you can't stand the sight of it.

So I only have to pay you the shipping.
