Dingwall Owners Club

Update. Going on a business trip tomorrow to where the amp is located. I should be able to bring it back with me.
Update on the update. Perfectly snug on the luggage shelf. Since I got it for such a good price I can afford the taxi to and from the station.

i sure don’t, I’m a little lost on the current pickup offerings.

Is the FDV wired parallel rather than series? A four lead pickup from the two coils? With a series/parallel switch, the series should get you close to P tone. At least that’s what I found with Super Fatties it whatever came in the older AB-1’s

My experience with the P tone and split P pups is they have lots more snarl, and spank with the tone wide open. Not the prettiest, smoothest sound solo, but very focused in the mix. And with the tone rolled off it’s super punchy.

If a Dingwall didn’t already have a P pup, and I could get one, I installed a P. On the maple AB-1 five string you bought, it made all the difference. The P tone, and rewiring the bridge to series. I’m not really into little switches, but With the blueqube, there was tremendous range.

And the more I play my Super P, the more I like it. I’m even growing fond of the other side of the hybrid tone sweep.
