Dingwall Owners Club

[AB Nate]

Some of the recent discussion around using Dingwalls for non-metal genres caught my eye. I put together a quick bass cover of Michael McDonald - I Keep Forgettin'. It makes a great demo to drive this point home and made for some great bonding time with my new 4-string color-shift ABZ.

Bonus points if you notice the other 2 Dingwalls in the rack.

Smooth playing. Nice tone.
I’d like to see more of that other AB2(I think that’s what I see on my phone screen) you got

 

[AB Nate]

Mission accomplished this eve. I’m sure glad I opted to do this.
The process was not too difficult but one note to make for others interested is that the pot shaft on the 6 way is larger then factory switches so reaming the knob shaft is required but being soft brass it’s a pretty easy operation.
Mo’s wiring diagram makes it really easy

Before:

After:

It’s a little orange monster stuffed in there but there’s wiggle room.

Ok that is a super cool one. Price seems reasonable to me too - I was expecting higher based off the header / link. Kinda wish I could pick it up.

I wonder if or how the neck profiles have changed over the years. I believe a 6 string with the neck profile of the Z's now would be a wonderful feel for me - more agreeable than my AB1 6'er. $3500 USD is actually really flippin' tempting.

Do it !!! I think the profile is supposed to be quite similar

So glad to see and hear this, I have an AB1 5 string for about a year and a half now and since buying it, it is practically the only bass I’ve played since then. It really fits so many more genres then the one that gets featured way too much. Well done sir.

Yes. Me and another member/friend, I’ll let him speak for himself, had Mo make us up some switches. Here’s my settings.

1. Neck Solo
2. Middle solo
3. All on per dingwall
4. Jazz series
5. Mm series
6. Mm parallel

No bridge solo ? Sacrilege !

I don't know about this one, but my Voodoo Prima has a very different neck profile than my Z. The VP is much thicker and a rounded profile.

you know it. I feel obligated to go Bridge solo once in a while when I have it but that usually lasts about 5 min….

Neck pickup all the way

Neck pickup all the way

Yeah man! I’m so happy to have that option now on this bass. It’s an important setting for me

Are you telling me there is a setting other than neck pickup solo, I don't believe it

Rumours say that there is a thing called the "bridge pickup" that is also supposed to make sounds

saw that. Great opportunity for someone to get something similar to Z series in 4 string. I don’t know which one I’d want more!
