Nice! I seriously considered buying a CV 70’s which is very similar to your VM.

But really it’s that Nolly that has me jealous :slight_smile:

I changed the Squier description as I have the CV… not the VM (mixing them as they both have great reviews). This is a great bass and I don’t see a gap vs. my MIM, maybe I was lucky but I really enjoy it. With Flats, it brings a very different sound and feel vs. the Jazz

The Dingwall is not needed to be honest, was more an experiment. I like it a lot but for sure is not a must have

Hey there, I have never played a fan fret bass before. What is the deal with those?
Nice looking set you got there! :slight_smile:

The concept of fan fret is to replicate the piano approach to bass - the thicker the string, the longer the scale ; this is supposed to create a better tone with long strings still being tight but I guess it is also a matter of taste

It is not a huge effort to adapt from the other ones but maybe this is because I’m not a great player and still look a lot at my fingers

I’m not in a band… or jamming FT … so right now it fits the bill… at the same time handling all other audio needs too!

Glad I’m not the only one using them… they are actually pretty handy! :slight_smile:

Worth watching this video of Sheldon Dingwall explaining the concept behind his basses.

IMHO, Dingwall basses are fantastic.

This video is also super interesting…

To my ear, the Dingwall is #1, and the cheap ā€œRedsubā€ (now rebranded G4M 972) is #2, winning on tone, over the Spector and Ibanez.

I love my Dingwall, there is so much clarity in the notes - as @GGWAW says, a piano-like quality. If you get the opportunity, @Buzzin_Canada-John, I’d recommend trying one!

So I checked the inventory of my local shop… they have a Nolly, a 4 string, and a D-roc in stock … another thing I noticed… they ain’t cheap! LOL

lowest cost was $2400.00 CDN :stuck_out_tongue: The Nolly comes in at 3250.00 CDN

yowza.

I was searching Marketplace and saw two mint D-Roc for sale for around 1700$ CAD. I was so tempted, but I’m torn because I really want a Warwick, too.
