Oh damn I could have sworn we time stamped this... Stand by for an edit!

Thanks!! Tough for me to want anything else besides wenge 🤤 on the fretboard but maple would be epic too... Colors I'm sure will happen

@@ishguitars I watched some of your other vids~ all were great. I had a Dingwall Z1 about 10 years ago & sold it after a year & continued to play my Lakland 55-94. I LOVED the B string, but the sound wasn't working for me. I agree with you that the P Bass tone is my favorite & even single soapbar pickups like on the G&L L1000 will usually get me there. A neck pickup running alone (even on my Lakland) sometimes won't cut through the mix & this was definitely the case with the Dingwall. I absolutely don't like the 'bridge pickup' sound at all, but often it can be blended with the neck pickup for great sounds (as was the case with this Spector). The Dingwall had absolutely the WORST bridge pickup sound I've ever heard ~ even when blended with the neck. I've been kind of waiting for Dingwall to improve on this & kind of expected that because Sheldon's favorite bass tone is P Bass. I talked to him when the Z3 came out & asked him if he could do a Z3 with the bridge pickup omitted ~ he said that he could do that, but holy cow the prices have doubled for Canada bases since then. He did of course come out with the P5 but it is only 35" scale which is pointless to me. I saw your vid with the NG bass & it occurred to me that Ish could probably rewire that for me so that the bridge pickup could be disabled & the other 2 pickups could be run with normal wiring~ 'mid' pickup alone, neck pickup alone & both in bridge or parallel. The bridge pickup could just sit there for show but be deactivated~ do you think you could do this?

@@jmsmikey yes we could do that for sure! 100% understand what you are saying. I do have to say I think the bridge pickup sound has definitely improved, the pick up themselves have gone through quite a few variations since 10 years ago. BUT, what would be super cool to do with an NG3 (or 2) is get rid of the bridge pick up and make a custom pickguard so that it looks like factory....

@@ishguitars oh I LOVE the look of the 3 pickups~ makes it totally badass~ I just want the bridge pickup deactivated, but physically it can stay there & looks great. Looking at the 5 or so color offerings I really like purple the best~ this will be onstage a lot so I look for eye catching colors & it appears that the purple one has BLACK hardware rather than chrome, which is a HUGES bonus if I am seeing this correctly. Also I thing that the NG originally came out with a B string drop tuner thingy~ which I really don't want or would ever use~ is that still on the NG?

You're going to love it. It's going to sit in your arsenal better than you expect it to

Not at this time, maybe down the road... I'm sure you have heard that before 🤷‍♀️

We're working on it! Hoping to film tomorrow or early next week.

We are magical duh 🧙‍♂️🪄

Hey Samuel! Yes we do - email us at team@ish.guitars!

@@ishguitars What is the string spacing? The Ish site says 18,25 mm, but the official Spector site says 17 mm (0.66"). The spacing looks wider than 17 on pictures, but I guess that could be a trick of the eye. Have you measured the string spacing yourselves?

@@samuelviden7412 The measurement on our website is our own measurement from our tech. Are you looking at the 4 string or 5 string measurements? They are different

@@ishguitars 5!

I noticed that Spector website revised the string spacing of Dimension 5 to .72”

We ended up selling through our dimensions so fast we are waiting for our next round of 5 strings to come in. They are supposed to arrive at the shop today or tomorrow. Hopefully super soon!

Yeah agreed, on guitar unless you run MASSIVE gain they sound thin

I highly doubt the Euro line will go anywhere. They still sell very well. They have the Eruo LX, LT, Bolt, multiple signature series basses. The vast majority of the Spector endorsers tour with them. Now, there are multiple MIK series basses that fills in the price point gap between the Legend NT and the Spector Euro (the Euro Bolts are actually $100 less than the MIK dimension).

We'll see 😉🤫🤷‍♀️

@@ishguitars My wish would be a Euro with the first octave of the fret board is fretted and the remainder is fretless. I seriously doubt that would ever happen 🤣

@@crazeyjoe I can confidently say that will never happen 😂 We could do a aftermarket for you relatively easily though

@@ishguitars Sounds like an interesting build for the USA Shop...

Eh, Dingwall is still a bit different, I'm sure they will jive together well.

Ridiculous.

Had an ehb1505ms..sold it away because not able to go my ideal low action. Looking for another ms, will look forward to hear more review on the tone on this dimension.

The Ibanez is dope! We're going to put it head-to-head with several other multi-scale basses in our next video coming soon, sub us and keep your eyes out.

@@ishguitars my SRMS805 is out for delivery today 🤗

Probably because it's a fresh 2021 model, they think they can price gouge a little. Give it a few months or a year and this will probably ease into the $1750ish range. I'm already seeing them for $2k

Korean manufacturers are great nowadays. Besides some more premium features (i.e. Tuners? some finishes?) there isn't a lot of differences when compared to the Czech manufacturers. Combustions are made in China and the starting price is around 1900USD (Still... awesome basses).

@@LoganMcClain Yeah I guess my "get off my lawn" persona came out lol. I think its crazy to see USA made Music Man's and Fenders go for 2k and even under, but USA made Spector's go for 5k. Also, I put down the bass for a good number of years and have just recently picked it back up and started looking at gear again, so I guess a bit shocked at all the changes that have happened. Some of them are good, I still really want this Spector, can't lie!

I actually want the 4 string. My 5-string is great and all, but sometimes I just need a break from the monstrous neck and from having to mute the friggin B string all the time.

Appreciate the input! There was a lot to cover on this bass, sorry if I got a little long winded 😂

@@ishguitars it happens to everyone; fact is it sounds great and you’re a great player. Just disappoint I got bare about a minute of you smacking it around!

I like the hipshot individual bridges 🤷‍♀️ they have been around a long time and have proven themselves well. Also the hipshot guys are literally the nicest ever and their factory is so cool so I'm a little biased 😉

By any chance do you know if you can change the pickups to emg pickups an preamp?

@@omarmoran3097 yes you can upgrade any bass preamp/pickups just make sure you have the right sizes pickups for the cavity that’s already cut out.

@@YaYaMoAffetuoso hmmm alrighty

That's where most manufacturers are these days for a premium korean instrument. Dingwalls are made in China and $2500 give or take 🤷‍♀️

I own US amd Czech made Spectors and owed a Korean made Rex Pro in the past. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of these.

Are you an American? I swear, only Americans give a shit where stuff is made. If it's a quality instrument, then why care where it was made?

@@EvilBlakey I think Americans care because they feel everything ammerican is better quality. Or at least they are hoping to support thoer own country. The sad part is, if it's made in America, is usually made with parts made in Asia. We don't make anything electronic. Half the woods in that bass don't even grow hear Lol

I mean I did play other styles too?

Are you referring to Dingwall prices? We are a dealer for them also, that's how much a 5 string NG3 is these days.
