Dingwall Owners Club

New addition to my Dingwall line up. A 4 string D-Roc Standard in vintage burst that I purchased from Talkbass member Bass Ape. See pic below. It is set up in BEAG. The 5-er is standard B and the blue-purple shift is in standard E. I am usually more into black or some colors but love the looks of the vintage burst. I sold my 2018 Ric 5-er about a month ago so basically a swap of basses. I could just never get into playing the Ric after getting the Dingwall 5-er. Cheers!

Judging from the picture, one could make the assumption that you don’t like D-Rocs

Question Dingwallers. About to install a custom switch in my Combustion.

Off of the factory switcher are three black wires. One goes to a ground on the back of the volume pot. One goes to a ground on the output jack. One is going to the EMG preamp. I'm assuming this is also a ground that will need to get resoldered to ground when the new switch is installed?

Yes, the dingwall switcher has plenty of spots to attach ground wires. I haven't installed a 6 way before, but there really isn't any reason why you need to make the switcher the "hub" of your ground connections. You could solder the output jack and preamp grounds to the volume pot, and then use the volume pot wire to connect ground to the new switcher.

Yep I was planning on grounding everything to the volume pot since I wont have the board that is attached to the factory switcher.

Who here is planning on picking up an import SPJ when they come out? I thought I might look into one since I only have 6s right now.

 

[Selta]

I kind of want one, if they'd come out with a 5 string version later, maybe? It's hard to tell if it's just the novelty or if I actually want it. I'm already swimming in Dingwalls and don't need more, so it's a bit of an uphill battle to convince myself that I really should get one.

I'm about to put a deposit on one with Bass Central.

Im on the wait list with JFB for an import SPJ

I think I’ll grab one. I really liked the one I played at the Guitar Summit and at Dingwall’s recent EU tour.

Definitely hoping to be able to.

 

[MikoFX]

There is a 5 string version

Thanks for confirming. I was a little taken back. lol

 

[prom311]

I'm on the list for a 5 string as well and looking forward to getting a super. I was thinking about jumping on the queue but 1 custom is enough for me for now and Id rather save the time and money.

Is there a spec sheet with colours etc for them yet??

Hi Ivan
How do they compare to your custom shop SP?

Hi Ivan

Build quality is top notch. I would definitely take one on tour.

Soundwise, it was “tamer” than my Super P. I guess mainly due to the new split P pickup.
Don’t get me wrong, with the tone control fully open the bass can definitely deliver a gnarly rock tone, but the sound is overall warmer and more similar like a traditional P-Bass.

My custom SP has some aggressive mids, which I like, but the added warmth and roundness of the import will surely appeal a wider range of players
