Hmmm i thought i was ordering singles

Thank you so much. Now a second question. I'm trying to purchase strings from Kalium now...i have a question on how they name their strings. I see 4 options for lets say my .130 gauge string. The code on the end is 4BS 5 BS 6BS and 7BS. Can i be safe to assume this means 4-string, 5-string...

So i'm really bad at buying strings. And now that i have a Dingwall its even worse. I'm looking to purchase a set of Kalium strings for my new dingwall but i have no idea where to start. Can anyone give me some advice? What i'm looking for. 5 string set Stainless Steel I prefered lighter...

Hey guys, so i'm making the jump to Kalium Strings. Now i have two Dingwalls, one NG-2 that i literally got a few days ago. Now i know what i'm asking might be blasphemy but....i DONT KNOW HOW TO SHOP FOR STRINGS FOR A MULTISCALE BASS!!! Now i know the NG-2 comes with Kalium strings so it...

Hello, i am very interested in this bass is it still available? I have no idea how to PM someone so if you PM me with your contact email we can talk more in depth about this. Thank you.

So i'm in the market for a relativly inexpensive backup bass. As much as i would love to play my Dingwall ABZ at every show...thats just not possible. Carrying around 2000$ worth of bass to seedy parts of the city just doesnt sound like a good time for me. So if anyone has any ideas then...

Ok so i just purchased a Dingwall ABZ bass. I love it except i didnt realise how fragile the Satin finish was on the bass. I was wondering if it was possible to refinish the bass with a polyester finish or at the very least a gloss finish. I dont want to do this myself 1. How much would...

Probably not...the most i can guess is Poster 1: Hey guys i can shred!! Poster 2: I bet i can shred faster than you Poster 3: You guys arent any better than John Petrucci so dont say you can shred Poster 4: Can you play a A minor sus 4? Can you?!

A lot has to do with Brand name. And just lack of knowledge. For Instance:(using a guitar example) A lot of people know that Tom Andersons and Suhr's are amazing guitars. However a lot of people dont know that both companies used to be part of Schecter Customs in Japan. Many people are...

As a recording tech i encounter this question a lot. Here is my best advice. Passive pickups vs active create a completley different sound. However the situation can differ greatly. Will the engineer be DI'ing you in and then reamping? Will he be micing a bass cab instead? Also which...

I find Markbass cabs to be the lightest cabs i've ever used. I just got their New York 408 cab and that thing i can carry with one hand. They use really super light speakers and the cab is made out of super light poplar. They also sound killer.

Man reading all the comments about people getting their bass heads blown is the exat reason i dont let people use my gear anymore. In the past (when i had cheap gear) i let people use my head and cab. I was just running a cheap B-series Ampeg head and cab. About worth 500$ together. Not...

The type of wood matters a lot as well. Stay away from Basswood or Alder as those have slightly more mid boost than some other woods. Those woods are better for jazz and the like. Go for tonewoods that have a strong midcut like Swampash, Mahogany, Northern Ash. But yeah heavy mid cut with...

Oh i know i'm totally in the same mindset. I dont think i will ever want to play another bass again. And if i do, it will be another Dingwall. My only thing is i wish they offered the Z series colors and finish on the ABZ. I would love to own a Z series but i cant afford the 5000$ price tag...

This was me when i first started playing Bass. My first bass ever was a Modulous 6-string with the Graphite neck (the ones they dont make anymore). I was horrible, had only played for about a year. After that i realised that it was actually more than i could handle and bought myself a...
