Dingwall Owners Club

[MDBass]

I have a quick question, will DR Sunbeam long scales fit my SPJ5 (E-G strings)?

Yep.

 

[Thumper]

Yep.

Sweet, thanks!

HA HA, me too! Sometimes a bit sooner, but not usually. I do consistently wipe down my bass/strings if I am sweating.
I used to boil my strings but always found they were good for only one night after that. I consider the alcohol thing to be just too much trouble. If I need new strings I will put new strings on; no alcohol, no tube, no mess, not another thing to have to keep up with - simple.

Luckily, my hands very rarely sweat when I play. I can count less than a half dozen times in memory of playing with sweaty hands and those were extreme temperature and humidity days. My strings lose their zing very gradually.

I have let others play my basses and have had new strings killed within a couple of songs. I generally avoid letting others play my basses for that reason unless I know them well and that they won't make my strings go dead.

I heard you couldn’t easily swap the Aguilar pre with a Glock pre. Something about the pot shaft sizes being diffferent. So I never tried. I just use the Aggie pre very sparingly. Lol

You already have! You joined the club the moment you adopted your Dingwall!

WELcome and congrats.

I put this one up on kijiji just cause I’d Rather get a local sale on it then deal with shipping since it has no case but we shall see. Might be in the classifieds here soon or reverb.

Thanks. It is an amazing bass. I could not believe the action and how well it played out of the box. If not for the fact knowing it was built in China I would swear it was hand built there in Canada. All I've had to do is tweak the pickup height a little. It is a dream to play

There's something really tasteful about the white finish on the NG's, isn't there.

Congratulations!

Of all the NG colors, my favorites, in spite of all the flashy colors, is the Ducati white and the black with metal flake.

Hopefully it will work fine, otherwise I have trown my money away. Do you have a three band eq?

Just in case you weren’t aware there is a stackable 3 band glockenklang that can replace a 2 band. The only thing is you lose the passive tone control.

Did think about that, but I wouldnt be suprised if I go passive with it.

Would any of you good gents have a wiring diagram/schematic on the individual series/parallel toggles for a 3X with FDVs?

I was wondering about this myself. Would it be the same with the standard NG pickups? I'm wanting to do this mod to my NG-3.

And that’s why I mentioned it.
If your intent is to utilize the preamp I would get the mod control over the passive tone control. The mid control on the glockenklang IMO is very useful and well worth having. If I still had a 2 band I’d upgrade it to the 3 band without hesitation.

Totally agree!! It is for the most part the only one of the bands I use. And even then, pretty rarely.

I have two ABIs with the 3 band Glock, and I had an ABZ with one prior to that. IMHO, I would go with the 3 band glock and not worry about the passive roll-off. The Glock is so transparent when having the pre amp engaged and at the center detents of all three bands that it is virtually identical in tone and volume to passive mode. So in other words, the glock gives you virtually identical tone when flat as passive tone when flat. And the three bands are so musical and the adjustments of the knobs is so gradual that they are eminently usable over their entire range.

So unless you are really enamored with passive roll off tonally, I would just add the 3 band glock and be done. YMMV of course.

Do we know what hz the mid is set to?
