I've been a bad boy the past year or so in that I havn't spent much time with my bass. (AB1-5)

But I have been reading on a few other forums and one thing that often comes up is, how some players need to do a set-up every month or so, and that is actually very common for many others as well...
That made it really hit home. I am thoroughly amazed at how well this bass of mine has stayed in tune and remained trouble free.
I'm not exactly sure how old it is; ( 2 1/2+ yrs. min.) but in all that time, I have not had to do a single set-up job. In fact, it still has the original strings on it! It still has the same action as when I acquired it and rarely needs more than minor tuning to return it to standard pitch.
I'm not a fanboy in any sense and it is rare that I give my "endorsement" ( not that it counts for anything.

) to any piece of gear unless it very much deserves it.
I wish I could state this in a more eloquent manner but...
To Sheldon, and all of those at Dingwall, I say thank you, thank you, thank you!
Maximum respect due.
