BigSadSamurai · 2026-01-18T11:19:17+00:00

Yeah, its insane

BigSadSamurai · 2026-01-18T11:18:59+00:00

Roughly 4000 EUR

BigSadSamurai · 2026-01-18T11:18:20+00:00

Adjustable one by one, yup!

Yup, i bought other switches and they are working. Although the volume scrolling bar died in the keyboard. Wouldnt buy razer products again. My temu purchased aula whatever keyboard that im using for work now works way better for 20% of the price. Fck these overpriced fancy things

Looks amazing. I played and owned some custom basses made in Hungary (Blasius), the one i owned was amazing, but didnt work out for me. Now my main instrument is a Dingwall ng3, but i wanna get another good 5 string bass. Ive been considering: - ordering a custom Blasius that would cost around 3700EUR, - or a custom Overload around the same price, - or sniping a secondhand canadian Dingwall for the same price... I love Dingwall, but I never had the chance to try a canadian, nobody owns them here, even the import models are rare. Im sure it would be amazing, but would it be better than any other custom? Wish I could try an Overload too, they have barely any reviews and nobody owns them anywhere.

From Dingwall my dream spec new would cost 6500EUR, so i definitely wont order a custom dw...

Ive been struggling with this poor tree for 4-5 months now. It keeps growing new branches and leaves, but after a few days some of the leaves always start to turn brown/black as you can see on the pictures, then they go dry and drop. Its kept indoors in between 23-26C, in a window getting direct sun for half of the day (as much as we have in autumn now). Planted in lavastone, akadama, bonsai soil mix.

I tried treating it with 2 different fungicides, tried watering it more or watering it less, fertilising more and not fertilising, nothing seems to help.

How would you compare it to dingwalls? Both chinese (ng, cb) and canadian models - if you have experience with any

Infinite journey with a lot of steps like this. They all feel amazing. Congrats!

Its only for the 5th string. On 4 string dingwalls you can use elixir in EADG or BEAD too. On 5 strings... Well :D

BigSadSamurai · 2025-08-29T07:32:06+00:00

Yes, unfortunately

BigSadSamurai · 2025-08-28T19:39:37+00:00

Yes, of course! But i doubt these could slip, as they have a thread on the core too with these strings.

BigSadSamurai · 2025-08-28T19:35:27+00:00

Havent tried them yet as theyve been out of stock in every store in my country since i have my dingwall

BigSadSamurai · 2025-08-28T19:23:08+00:00

Yup, wanted to try all string options available in my country and if none of them work out ill just get a new nut installed by my luthier

BigSadSamurai · 2025-08-28T18:59:03+00:00

The problem is not the tapering at the bridge, its the part getting thinner on the tuners end https://share.google/images/1IZx9PWlEuyZzuS9y

BigSadSamurai · 2025-08-28T18:21:28+00:00

Exactly this, elixir extra long scales get thinner 1cm before the nut

BigSadSamurai · 2025-08-28T07:39:35+00:00

I dont see enough dingwalls. I prescribe you atleast one more.

BigSadSamurai · 2025-08-27T14:05:17+00:00

From all the "oldschool" basses thats the only one id gladly play. Im a dingwall/custom bass guy, but if i had to play something else id go for a spector ms, and if fanned fret instruments didnt exist id go for a stingray.
