My bass family
- Squier CV 70 PBass
- Fender MIM Jazz
- Dingwall NG3
Very happy with all of them !
Nice! I seriously considered buying a CV 70ās which is very similar to your VM.
But really itās that Nolly that has me jealous ![]()
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 donāt 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! ![]()
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 Iām not a great player and still look a lot at my fingers
Just in after months and months of waiting. I havenāt ran it through an amp but so far so good except the knobs, the knobs a shit. Wheres the go to place for good knobs?
Guitar Knobs - StewMac has a nice selection.
I have a partybox 100. they are great especially if you want to play somewhere without power.
gorgeous
Iām 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 Iām not the only one using them⦠they are actually pretty handy! ![]()
Those are awesome! ![]()
Is that the EU edition Candy Apple Red Dingwall?
I love those colors!
Absolutely !
Very nice !
Worth watching this video of Sheldon Dingwall explaining the concept behind his basses.
IMHO, Dingwall basses are fantastic.
This video is also super interestingā¦
To my ear, the Dingwall is #1, and the cheap āRedsubā (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, Iād recommend trying one!
TY for the info ⦠my local shop has some in stock ⦠I may take one for a test drive ![]()
Cheers!!
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 aināt cheap! LOL
lowest cost was $2400.00 CDN
The Nolly comes in at 3250.00 CDN
yowza.
I was searching Marketplace and saw two mint D-Roc for sale for around 1700$ CAD. I was so tempted, but Iām torn because I really want a Warwick, too.
