Rudy Sarzo playing Dingwall

Leland Sklar should do a video if he hasn't yet.
Dingwall posted a video about his signature instrument. He is not in it at all, they do not use any tracks from anything he has ever recorded, but they in fact of course have a gentleman with another distorted preamp playing as fast as he possibly can. I would have loved to actually hear Leland
 
It seemed like all of Dingwalls posts on social media were guys playing with fuzz they would do a few riffs,slap then tap. I just wanted to hear some samples of the Dingwall tone without effects and someone who played a solid line, and some simple slap to showcase the tone.

It's kind of baffling that they don't put out more 'regular' playing demos. The 3 pickup models in particular have great versatility and do a fantastic approximation of Jazz, P and MM tones. And if you play up past the 5th fret on the B string, it's close to sounding like an E string rather than the obvious tonal change most 5ers exhibit.
 
Interesting. Last I saw he was playing his Brubaker signature bass. Rudy Sarzo Signature Series Bass — Brubaker Guitars
I didn’t know he had a Brubaker signature 😂. I guess if Rudy has plenty of builders willing to make him signature model why not, as long as he fulfills the endorsement contract. I’m assuming there is one.
That's right. Even at the final OZZY/Black Sabbath show he was using his Brubaker.
Good eye I just saw clips of the show on social media, and thought that was Rudy’s polka dot Spector. Nuno Bettencourt had my attention most of the time, he did a phenomenal job at the final concert.
