just wanted to share these feelings with you all: I'm so happy and sad at the same time => happy 'cause I just placed a deposit for a new Dingwall, sad 'cause the prevision is 30 months waiting :crying: Can't wait to put my hands on it, it is going to be awesome (as usul with Dingwall's :bassist:)

I believe woods, strings, pickups, amp, EQ etc are part of the tone you get, but they are a tiny part of it, I mean in my experience: - 70% => technique, knowledge of your parts etc: "tone's in your fingers" - 15% => the bass you play (especially pickups type and position: single, humbucker, P...

Man I was listening to this playlist and damn I love your music!

here's the album :D: Chaotic Resonance you can choose the songs you prefer, if it's my call in the last period these are the favourite: - Freeze the Frame - Leaves in the Wind

I have a B7K ultra and a "standard" A/O (the one with DI out, but without the headpone out), this because I use the B7k to add a little grit into the "clean" sound and use the A/O for high gain situations, in my experience (or for my taste) the A/O is much more aggressive (more dist and more...

Reading this thread made me think about the possible cons in Dingwall basses, so...I just left a deposit for a new one (my 5th Dingwall :smug:), the hardest part begins now: wait for Sheldon team to build it, it's going to be a hard period of time for me thinking of the moment in which I'm going...

I hear sometimes people who swear their 34" or 35" scale parallel frets instruments can handle the low B like Dingwalls, well (IMHO of course), that's a wrong perception of the B sound, I owned (and own) many great parallel frets basses, just to name a few: - 2 Stingray's 5 strings - Musicman...

too many to be nominated, but if I am forced to choose only 5: - Cliff Burton - Steve DiGiorgio - Ryan Martinie - Steve Harris - Tim Commerford

easy answer for me: Rickenbacker :bassist:

And using a less direct approach? Like going to the next rehearsal with a 8X10 cab driven by a full valve 400 (or more) watts? Wouldn't this make him understand what's "too much"? I think so :smug:

I love my Dingwalls: I own and owned both canadian and chinese models, do not let the sticker "made in China" fool you, they are as great or even better in terms of construction as any american/european built instrument (not talking about boutique of course, for that level of craftmanship you...

tried the Elf and the Gnome when searching for a little head, bot very good sounding and with volume enough for small venues, then I went for the Darkglass Microtubes 200 because I prefer that kinda tone, but IMHO you can't go wrong with any of them (I plug mine into a Markbass 2x10 traveler...

I own an Helix LT => super simple (even on the fly) to navigate into the UI, great way to recall the presets, good sounding, in terms of sound IMHO nothing goes near the result you can get with Fractal, but the UI is very complicated and not that simple to be changed during a live session for...

I suggest to simplify: - Pre-amp of your choice (my vote is for Darkglass :smug:) - active cab for bass like the blackstar UA250 this way you are not going to have any issue and it sounds great!

hello, this is true for the "new" terror 500, but for the old one with impedence selector in the back the manual stated: "IMPORTANT: A speaker cabinet of suitable impedance and power handling must be connected to the amplifier’s speaker outputs even when the DI Output is in use." which in my...
