Dingwall Owners Club
- Thread starter FroggyOne2
- Start date
Oh, I mean Fullrange (Fully) should be number one. I don't know anyone else who owns anywhere close to 20 Dingwalls!
And in no way should my sentiment be considered as a dis to Mr. Roach, who has a an absolutely gorgeous ABII there!
BuffaloBob4343 I am honored by the suggestion, but I am pretty happy to be a member of the club, no matter what the position is!!!
It's about time that Dingwall owners should have a club of their own. Well done FroggyOne2

meany...
and by the way, i cant take responsibility for top selection on that dingwall. the guys at bass central are rad and always take care of me. they picked that one out for me.
~gR~
Franco, your number 4
Also, I would like to know more about the John East pre in the ABII.
When I put the Aggie pre in mine, I tried wiring the pups in series, it was way to overpowering. Now with the pups in parallel, I still can't turn the volume up all the way, it just puts so much signal into the face of the amp!
Thank you fullrange for the compliment, I had often wondered why there wasn't a club, as strongly as we feel about our Dingies! You would think that there would have been a Dingy club way before this! I for one, am very proud of my Dingy!
You have to over look me sometimes, my day job is on third shift! Sorry about that Blues Cat! But I will try to get them as in the order that they jump in on the thread, so if I miss one, then that is my bad! Just means I had to readadjustthenumbers!

wow, between post #2 and #27, I think its safe to say that Sheldon has some of the nicest bubinga around!
I'm not an owner, but a staunch admirer of Dingwalls!

The John East preamp in my ABII is a custom job. It has two sweepable mids with overlapping frequency ranges. I also had John use the same switches that Sheldon uses (which feel a lot nicer than the usual Retro switches), and the pickup selector switch is a 3-position, so that in passive mode I can select either pickup or both.
I lost the BluEQube functionality (which I rarely used), and the both-pickups-in-series option, which while giving a nice aggressive sound, was so much hotter than the other three positions that it was cumbersome to use - I'd have to adjust volume after switching into or out of series mode.
I gained the ability to blend the pickups, and gained an extremely flexible EQ.
The end result looks like this:
