How bout your fretless? How's it doing? Let me know if you ever think of swapping out the fat stacks!

What other pickups can I use with the same spacing? Only Barts and other hums right? So I don't think I'll be swapping...

 

[Composer of Requiems]

Actually, I really feel like refinishing that bass to red sparkle. Do you think that's a good idea or should I keep it natural?

 

[Composer of Requiems]

Hahahaha looks interesting. How does it sound? Is it still running passive or you've loaded a preamp?

Sorry to take so long, here's some soundclips. Plugged direct into H4n without any amp emulation, played in the dark at 11pm next to a condo swimming pool at my friend's house (LOL) so pardon the poor playing.

First set of clips is a "sound check", played with neck soloed, neck + bridge, bridge soloed. For each setting, it is first played as humbucker, then as coil tapped, and for each "coil tap setting" first with fingers over neck pickup, then fingers over bridge pickup. LOL I know this is confusing.

Then soundclips of riffs were, first, bridge soloed and coil-tapped, then neck soloed and humbucking, then both mixed and humbucking.

That aside, the string spacing is really narrow. Identical to the '95 non-reverse epi T-Bird I have, since they're the same bridge model I think. So, very NOT ideal for slap but it works out pretty nicely for rock I guess. Since my friend is short and has small fingers this should work out well

Very very nice, record some soundclips please. Interested to hear how the Dingwall pickup system works. I read up abit some months back and it inspired me to rewire my FBass to run 2 singles in series.

[fretless6]

Mmm sounds quite a bit cheaper than THG. Must resist lol

 

[fretless6]

Btw new toy. Was considering selling it, the Roscoe barts were way too mellow on fretless for me. Rewired em parallel and its kinda acceptable to me now. Went ahead and bought a pair of Delanos though. Lets see if the germans can make me decide to keep this.
