I wouldn't say mine is nicer than any of yours. You're Dingwall is simply sick!! That Pedulla is pretty sick as well.

I left it up to the builder for picking the body wood on my bass. I told him the style, pick up config, neck & fretboard woods, top & back woods. I wanted a bass that was well rounded. I didn't want just one tone, I was looking for many. He suggested mahogany, so I rolled with it!

 

[genocide roach]

yeah, ive got nice gear. but i bet youve got a sweet preamp in that stammie. the pickups are nicer too. plus the cosmetic things like the pick up covers are a great touch. what did she run you?

hurray for guitar porn!

All things considered, (Chris)Stambaugh is very reasonable. Total cost was $2600. He did many extras for free. Like the pup covers were no extra charge, or up charge as he calls it. The ramp between the pups were free. He did the "Bassnutz" on the truss rod cover for free. He's a firm believer in making a quality product, at minimal cost to the consumer. He doesn't pay for advertising, so he passes his savings to his customers.

I did my homework before deciding to go with Stambaugh. Most other builders would have charged me $5000 + for the same bass. He's not the quickest builder out there, because he's a one man building machine. He builds them in his basement up in NH. The only outsourcing he does is the high gloss finishes. Oil finishes he does himself.

His work is so impressive, I have a second build planned from him. All the details are not set in stone, but the basics are. I plan on getting a double neck built. 1 fretted, 1 fretless. Not sure if I want both necks to be 5, or 6 strings. Plus I still need to save for this build...Looking anywhere between $5000 to $6000 for this one.

 

[genocide roach]

yeah, stambaugh does great work and a strong rep. ive looked into them for my future customs. though i think im gonna go with thor or benavente. the others like skjold and elrick dont wanna fuss with the fanned frets...

Chris Benavente, & Pete Skjold both make incredible basses. In fact, the top & back pieces on my bass came from Pete. He didn't want to part with it. But Chris worked out a trade from some of the wood cuts he had in the shop.

I've never really looked into Thor basses....wait, I think I have. He's out of NH as well if my memory serves me right. Really thick bodies, 3 pup set ups on most of his basses?

As far as getting Rob Elrick to do any custom work, it's almost impossible. He's dead set on the way he builds. I have a friend of mine that's a complete Elrick buff. He owns 6 or 7 of them. They are in fact sweet basses, but not my style.

Have you had a chance to check out Benavente's other line of basses, "Divinity"? Fucking crazy basses indeed. Expensive as all hell too.

 

[genocide roach]

yeah, ive had many discussions with benavente. i was inches away on pulling the trigger on a 10 stringer (5 doubled) SCD. his divinity stuff is awesome. but a little too much for me, style wise.

anyways, my next deployment will probably result in at least a thor. i just need some cash

also, karl (the thor guy) occasionally posts on UM (as son of magni). cool dude

Sons of magni.....ok. He uses that sn on a few boards. He is the builder I was thinking of. I've seen some of his basses, they're pretty sweet.

Yeah, the Divinity basses are a little....out there style wise, but I think that's why I like them. I've always been a sucker for things a little out of the ordinary.

 

[genocide roach]

yeah, ive seen him post on talk bass with that name too.

i dont go to that board much though. its waaaay active and i always find ways to spend lots of money when i do.

- VHT 2/90/2 power amp

In the pedalboard:

I just need to get either a G-Major or a Replifex and I'll be totally set.

Sorry for the crappy pics... I've only got my cellphone camera. When Nina gets up here with her camera there will be clips and a vid maybe

First I want to thank Piney Hills Music. Best customer service I've ever received on top of a fantastic deal. If you don't buy your ESPs from him, you are stupid.

Here are the pics!

I'm going to give it a set up and give her a spin through my rack... I'll report back with a first impression review soon enough.
