i like seeing the neck wood from the front and i like the extra colour in the colour pallet

as someone whos owned 10+ dingwalls, i really, REALLY, cannot advise against an ibanez SR enough they're lovely playing basses, but every time i hear one i cant help but think 'well im glad my B, E and A strings dont sound like that

yea i kinda run a similar principle, 4 string and 6 string that sound like classic hyper fender, then a different 4 and 6 for 'different' tones building from a different foundation, a short scale for short scale things ive wanted to add a stock P bass and something like a hofner, along with...

maybe sadowsky? power jazz sound

the wall hangers i got didnt fit ng or abz 6 string necks initially - a few minutes of pulling them apart and everything fits fine - just buy cheap ones m8

while there are mechanical similarities, particularly with the wider string spacing and flamenco stype of play being applicable to both instruments - the whole point of the 2 instrument in different they are (usually) intended to play different roles within a musical context. if you're just...

ok this sounds like your brain is asking for multi-scale

id say scale length/string gauge go hand in hand, string brand/type, construction and hardwear mass, and imo wood - all make a pretty big difference theres also the variance between instruments, dont think for a second that all instruments of the same spec will sound the same, theres gonna be...

This is a request based wholly in ridiculousness but- Can someone talk me out of paying £300 to have someone rip the fretboard off and replace it with an ebony one, refret with the smallest evo gold (or similar brass/brass-like) frets I can find, and maybe a brass nut. I want to change the...

something of note: as dingwall 6'ers get more expensive, their necks get thinner. back-to-back compairing; NG, ABZ, and Z necks, the NG feels like a baseball bat. if you could find a good used deal on a ABZ 6 string and are comfortable with the multi-scale, the neck...

ah i know this pain, little bit of mild distortion at low gain can work really well at 'adding clarifying edge' to a clean muddy tone. eq and technique will be the big things tho, and on top of that, instrument selection (modern/active will beat hofner violin - for example) ive come to find...

as a fellow brit, anyone who paints over that might as well be canadian

well i have a pretty strong preference for long (37-34 format) MultiScale, but like varity so... 4 string MS fender-ish think (dingwall combustion) 6 string MS fender-ish think (dingwall ABZ) 4 string MS alternative (dingwall D-bird - thinking of adding to w/ 1 custom ACG) 6 string MS...

the 'proper' order, start w/ something like that and build/change things around via personal experimentation

find a guitarist with a 1x12, borrow it if it turns out to sound bad, steal it if it turns out to sound good

the 1 ting no one likes saying - write the song different, half the time you can hear the bass on a record its due to song writing and mixing, sadly the monkey turning knobs on the loud box doesnt make all of the difference

these dont seem to do the 'pillowy mids crossover thing' the previous cabs did - based on demos only

with the shop fire(s) congesting production, and them being a small company at the time, i dont know if Dingwall made a 4 or 6 string bass in 1997 - but if i *could* have 1 id love it

yea im the same way for a 4 or a 6 bubinga/bubinga old school or bubinga/maple HS, use to own a HS 5 with a wenge neck, sold it cuz it was a 5 with a wenge neck and ive been moving away from both for a few years where'd you get your pseudo-wal btw, thing looks gorgeous ?

just get an ng2/3 4 string in aquaflake and buy a mirror pickgaurd somewhere? alder/maple/male vs (iirc)all maple in the fender SH p-bass, active vs passive (but theres a switch), asthetically you're there

ive been dreaming of a custom 37-35 4 string from some builder, the trend cometh

god id love that in anything other than a 5 string

bump ?

does anyone have any idea if MTD would be open to doing a multi-scale bass ? i've been ogling over their finishes, over their 'more-precise-version-of-a-growly-bright-Warwick' tone, but i've been a total convert to 37/34 format multi-scale (i've own shorter scale multis and parallels since and...

:thumbsup: i believe in berating new products online to encourage the manufacturers to put out better instruments, is it annoying and repetitive to comment "pffft not 37/34 multi-scale" on every new post about a bass designed for metal and/or progressive music ? yep. Nearly as annoying as...

why are they priced so ridiculously ? own brand hardware and electronics, very simple construction/finishes/design, nothing special on the woods or anything... am i missing something ?

for some reason i was expecting multi-scale

If you're looking for eq flexibility and a bit of grit then the bergantino B-amp is incredible. https://www.thomann.de/pics/bdb/453552/13724026_800.jpg I 'upgraded' from a subway d-800 and haven't looked back. It can cop all manor of gritty, snarly, tight tones with endless amounts of eq on...

brO! I'm so happy for you, they look fantastic!!

Im infatuated, but why no dual mode? I'd've thought that even series/parallel would be a given on an amp like this in 2020. Maybe down the line y'all could do some sorta TT-1600 - full mono/stereo series/parallel dual channel architecture, subway channel gets an upgrade to either a 6 band eq +...

He might not, but i do Dingwall D-roc, designed around the thunderbird shape but updated with the Dingwall design aesthetic. strap button 'hidden' in the back of the body, no neck dive at all, 36.25'/34 multi-scale doesn't take much getting use to, i find other basses less comfortable now...

ah so i was partially kinda almost slightly right, 'Born out of a final exam project for designer Szabolcs Sinka’s Master’s in Product Design' Bastard Basses Announces Little Bastard Bass there *was* a website at some point but it's a deadlink :L however this lil fella is one of the nicest...

IIRC it was a pet project of some dude and it totally fell thru, i'll try to re-find some info

i have a HX stomp and an aftershock on my board, along with a C4, and they sound great together. if you at talking about distortion pedal emulation then id have to give it to the aftershock, it just sounds better. But if you also use the Line6 amp modeling stuff for distortion it totally changes...

As the faithful Dingwall shill that i am, a combustion 5 string can find all manner of jazz bass tones - active or passive - and imo the ergos are fantastic. Fan fret multi scale 37" to 34", B string is incredible. ash body, maple neck, maple or pau ferro fretboard, bridge spacing 5 18 mm –...

+1 vote on Dingwall, an ABZ should come in less that 3k, lightweight, versatile, VERY even across all the strings, low B to die for. Or get a pair of import models ? a combustion and a d-roc

yea man, the 37" B is hard to turn away from

not saying these wont be great, but if you can give one a head-2-head with a dingwall 6. aesthetically they might not do it for ya, but sonicly ? could make things more difficult for you :P

Asked in another thread but this might be a better place, in the blurb it mentions that the 15 is designed to be stacked with a 210 or 410, but how would it stack with a 12 ? relatedly how to the BA cabs like mixing and matching drivers ? would a 10/12 stack work or would the fabric of time...
