    Zjon's Guitarstore had their first batch already sold out when I asked about it in early January, so you'll definitely need to put in a preorder at a shop to be able to get one this year

    Those who have Dingwalls with these string retainers, do you have to thread your string through it? Or is it shaped more like a hook?

    Our band plays in drop-D#0 but personally I'm really a fan of how my Dingwall sounds without the bridge cables :) I use the standard Dingwall 45-130 nickel plated set and apart from being like excellently cooked spaghetti it kills it both live and in studio

    While we're talking about pickups, what's the technical difference between the "Neck" and "Middle"-style pickups? Are they reverse wound or something?

    Someone heard the phrase "more is more" and didn't stop to think whether they should

    That's what the D-Roc has in its second position. I didn't really care for that tone tbh

    On the NG3 the middle pickup is wired in parallel internally to make the bridge+middle position more balanced. On the D-Roc the neck pickup is wired in parallel internally to make the all-three-on setting more balanced.

    Phew, I've been away from this forum for a long time and also recently realized that I've been banned from the Dingwall Facebook group for something like 2 years now for some reason. I just thought that somebody shut the group down but apparently that isn't the case. Anyway, can you guys give...

    It does the job but I'm not entirely happy with just that compressor. I highly dislike the automatic gain compensation and the snap it introduces even at fastest compression speeds, but below 12 o'clock it's fine. I've gigged and rehearsed with just the MTI for the last year and mostly I've just...

    I might be in the minority here, but especially with the SJ body shape I feel like the 3 pickup look doesn't fit the bass at all. To me those three big soapbar-style pickup covers all together really mess with the lines of the body.

    There was an older Voodoo Prima with Cello hip for sale in the Netherlands for I think 2300€ about a year ago... I had just placed an order for my D-Roc Standard and that one hurt

    This year apparently, basses that have arrived to dealers during and after summer are made in China.

    I had the opportunity to do a setup for a Chinese D-Roc 5 today, and I can confirm that it doesn't differ from my Korean one in any way related to quality. The only difference I could spot is that the fret slots are sawn through and then the edges are filled, while on the Korean one the...

    It's official, Darkglass advertises it on their social medias from time to time. Last time today with the shirt drop. No fake site would be sellings shirts that are 36€ + VAT a piece

    Reading this thread made me shoot an offer for a D-Bird Standard that's being sold near me. Not cool guys, not cool...
