I’ve played a Dingwall a couple times. They are nice. I could get used to one, but I’m so vested in my Roscoes I don’t want to start over.
I think you’re doing it right. New basses are fun but it takes time to learn each one.

When you use the backbeat on stage do you pipe your whole IEM mix through it or just your bass? Was looking at their webpage and there are a lot of options for signal routingYou should try tactile transducers. It makes using IEM much more fun. If standing on Bassboard seems weird to you, you can try either Eich Drumchair or Backbeat. I own and use all three of them. It made made the move to IEM much more pleasant.

I stopped by guitar center today to mess around on 5 strings. As a longtime Fender guy I’m almost embarrassed to say the Ibanez SR 5 string necks felt amazing while the fender 5’s felt like a giant slab.
I just don’t know if I could get used to playing something that looks like a set piece in the Star Wars cantina band.
My main bass is an Ibanez 5er but I was very pleasantly surprised by a Fender Jazz Bass Ultra V a couple months ago. It was expensive but it played super well and the B was surprisingly tight.Fender doesn't do great 5 strings. I've had a couple and play them at GC occasionally and always underwhelmed. A Lakland Skyline is much better for the less money. Though I have to say I've gotten into Dingwalls, and the NG3 is the BEST B I've ever heard. The 37" scale certainly helps, and the fanned frets don't take long to get used to, it's really only noticeable above the 12th fret, which I rarely get to go up that high.
Yes friend, please report back on Tone Hammer and DCX if you find them.View attachment 7364082
Well…had it for a couple days now and wanted to give a quick comparison to the stomp for worship bass.
The good. The anagram blocks require little to no tweaking to sound good. Stomp blocks required A LOT of tweaking for bass.
The drives are ok. Spot on their darkglass sounds but the fuzz’s and octaves are REALLY good. The anagram will do an awesome microsynth compared to the stomp.
The touch screen is really finicky. You have to be really precise. Also, at 42yo, I almost need reading glasses for some of the menus.
In the next couple days I’ll download tone hammer and DCX captures and report back.
They’re both on the Tone 3000 website but they also make it easy to upload your own with whatever settings you like and it creates the nam capture.Yes friend, please report back on Tone Hammer and DCX if you find them.
Also, how did you get the Bass MicroSynth sound? What blocks?
Does this help?Does anyone have the Nick Edwards Quad Cortex preset that they can comment on? Ihttps://www.nedwardsmusic.com/product-page/quad-cortex-preset-all-in-one-pedalboard
know that his brother's Quad Cortex preset had a lot of people in the guitar world commenting due to the price. I typically don't use the quad cortex at church, but have built a preset that I like in case I wanted to use it. Just curious. Thank.
Does this help?
Well here is a demo of the Tone Hammer capture from tone 3000 website. At first it seemed a little too compressed but I changed the blend to 70% and sounds great. I'm really surprised how well it captures the AGS dynamically responds to digging in in the second part of the demo below.
Recording it as you posted lol. I'll send you a copy of this preset if you want. Essential just Sublemon on a parallel path under Chinchilla fuzz.That sounds amazing!
Did you find a MicroSynth sound?
I’ve bought and sold the Tonehammer twice. Get the SV. (Or a Helix)I'm torn between getting a used Tone Hammer V1 and a Bassrig Super Vintage. I've tried TH in the past and found it noisy but I want to love it. Bassrig is obviously much more expensive. And no, both isn't an option![]()
So have II’ve bought and sold the Tonehammer twice. Get the SV.
Not a fan. Just moved/moving back to analog from HX Stomp XL.Or a Helix.
