    Sheldon made a video saying they should be 3.5mm from the string when fretting the 24th fret. But I noticed on every bass they ship they are much MUCH closer.... Whats the spacing on yours?

    Please Help! - My new dingwall is having a weird issue (video inside)

    When I plug my bass in, there is a swell in volume instead of it going to full output immediately. This happens on both active and passive modes in all pickup positions. I took a look at the output jack and it looked like it had one bad connection. I re-soldered it but the issue is the same. Ive...

    Darkglass ADAM sounds like a fuzz pedal

    I got this pedal and pretty sure I'm returning it. The presets on offer sound REALLY boomy and fuzzy compared to the parrallax plugin which Ive been using. Pretty dissapointed overall. Tones are kind of un-usable even with lots of EQ Anyone else find this?

    I want to be able to call myself a bassist - not a guitarist who has a bass. Help!

    I recently bought myself a bass and am enjoying it beyond what I thought - to the point I want to really learn this amazing instrument. I've been playing guitar for 17 years now and studied jazz performance at university so I'm pretty well versed in things like theory, ear training and...

    Darkglass ADAM or Alpha Omega Ultra?

    I was going to buy a parallax plugin but in the end its more convenient for me to get a pedal for my bass tone. I was thinking one of these two and wondering what others think. - I don't need the audio interface capability of the ADAM as I have one already

    Guitarist bamboozled by bass tone creation...
