I am absolutely dying over the new 2025 Ibanez BTB. I didnā€™t want a new bass, I donā€™t need a new bassā€¦ but damnā€¦

In hunting down a bass VI to learn on, I think Iā€™m down to throwing bass VI strings on a 30" Gretsch baritone (5260T), the Ibanez SRC6MS (pic below), or jsut the Squier bass VI in cotton candy pink. The Gretsch should just be plopping some 24 - 90 strings on and dealing with the Bigsby trem. This Ibanez I find really interesting. I havenā€™t had a reason to get a multi scale or an Ibanez yet so that might be kinda cool. I worry though that those Bartolini pickups arenā€™t going to work so well as guitar pickups. Is this going to be too much of a metal bass to do Cure or shoegaze (just as examples of the kind of stuff I want to do with a VI) on like a regular bass 6?

The pickup doesnā€™t know what strings are on the instrument. A Fender Bass VI has guitar pickups but still picks up the E, A and D strings OK.

That type of play takes just a little more practice than a BASSBUZZ beginners courseā€¦
Pretty sweet and inspirationalā€¦ :jbass: :sunglasses:

I was willing to buy a Mayones (I lived in Poland for few years) but decided to go to Dingwalā€¦
I should have waited a little more ā€¦ even if I really love my DW

Yep, no doubt Mayones is going to debut them at the upcoming NAMM Show next week.

Feraud, Malaman and Navarro will probably be on hand to demo all the shiny, new Mayones models.

I wish Mayones was easier to get in Canada ā€¦ Only 1 official dealer in the whole countryā€¦ Thankfully Dingwall is all Canada eh. :stuck_out_tongue:

I donā€™t have a local Mayones dealer. I bought my two Mayones and had them shipped to me in Texas from Europe. Super-smooth transactions.

The only Mayones dealer in Canada is in Toronto ā€¦ I am in Alberta ā€¦ yesā€¦ they are accessibleā€¦ but Dingwallā€™s ā€¦ I can go downtown ā€¦ and buy one.

I will get a Mayones one day :stuck_out_tongue: they look so FINE ā€¦ and I love that headphone preamp featureā€¦ DAMNā€¦ :slight_smile:

Like the looks of it and the double P pickups., though Iā€™m not familiar with Dunable. Thereā€™s a used one on GC in ā€œgoodā€ condition. Asking price is a grand.
