Dingwall ABZ-5 with Highly Figured Quartersawn Ash body, Neve preamp, Super Fatty II's and P-Tone!
This gorgeous new ABZ 5-string weighs just under 8.25 lbs and is both beautiful to look at, and a total joy to play and to listen to.
With this bass, I have learned that the Rupert Neve Designs preamp also sounds fantastic with the Super Fatty II pickups and with a P-Tone pickup in the neck position.
This particular bass has already been sold, but you can get a custom Dingwall built to YOUR specs at JohnFoxBass.com

Dingwalll Z3 Purple to Turquoise Reverseburst oh my!
Переглядів 1544 години тому
This positively stunning new Dingwall Z3 5-string just arrived at John Fox Bass. It has a plethora of tones on tap thanks to the fact that we replaced the factory 4-way pickup selector switch with a 6-way switch. Combine that with a series/parallel toggle switch for each pickup, and the result is that you can dial in just about any tone you might ever need. This bass has been sold, but you can ...

Dingwall pickup comparison: FD3n vs Super Fatty II in an NG3
Переглядів 8634 місяці тому
A customer just purchased a new NG3 and asked to replace the Neck and Bridge FD3n pickups with Super Fatty II's. He also suggested I make a video to demonstrate the difference, which I thought was a great idea. The FD3n in the middle position was left unchanged. On the stock rotary switch, the positions are: 1 - Bridge 2 - Bridge Middle (in series) 3 - Bridge Neck (in parallel) 4 - Neck The Sup...

didnt see it on ebay guess i missed it. ill probably have to wait for the green one when its released in jan '25
@@Jsing6946 Please contact me through my website. I have some interesting news for you.
Seems like a lot of people are opting for the Neve preamp 😁
I have one in my super J. It’s incredible
Another banger! I’ve got an ABZ currently in the queue. This is giving me even more GAS 😂
Another killer DW

Wow!!!

Is it possible to spec a Dingwall with a bridge pickup only?
@@noyd4172 I have never seen that done. I'm not sure if it's possible but I can ask. Which model bass and how many strings? Please contact me through my website so I will know how to get back to you with the answer. They would have to modify a CNC program because I'm sure the pickup cavities are all cut on a CNC machine. So I tend to doubt they would be willing to do it since it would involve programming. But I can ask.
Wow John that thing is beautiful!
Sheldon is a genius.
Very nice!!!
Absolutely sick!
Quilted glory
A lot of tones out of this thing!
@@czarpaul01 Swiss Army Knife for sure... And passive no less!
that Ebony is nice *-*
I'm wondering if they will do an import version of this though i am debating getting a Canadian made i got the import D roc 5 string and its amazing :)
@@cavetroll666 I'm sure you're at least the 500th person to ask that. I won't be surprised if they eventually come out with one, but I have not heard any official word or even any official rumors. I'm sure Fender is shaking in their boots at the idea of that happening. Once people have a taste of the new Super P that's coming, I know it will put a hefty dent in sales of P basses from Fender and everybody else who makes them. The Dingwalls are so superior it's almost unfair to the competition.
@@JohnFoxBass they are so good everytime i pick up my D ROC 5 i love it :)
Sounds great ! Are we going to hear that Super P ?
@@michaelmacisco2566 Yes, each video takes a couple hours to upload. Working on that now. And also another Super J with FDVs and an alder body for comparison is also coming soon.
@@JohnFoxBass nice !!
Really liking how this pickup combination sounds on this SJ! Do you think the P-Tone pairs better with SFIIs than with FDVs?
@@IvanBassist Yes, absolutely. Not only that, but if you put a P-Tone Right next to an FDV, eventually it will demagnetize the FDV and destroy it. For that reason, you can only put a P-Tone next to an FD3 or SF2. But sonically, frequency-spectrum-wise, yes, I think the P-Tone is best paired with SF2s because they compliment each other.
@@JohnFoxBass you’ve given me pickup GAS, John 😂
@@IvanBassist That's an interesting turn of events. So instead of needing gas for your pickup, you need pickups for your GAS. LOL
Gosh I really want to make the drive up north to see some of these beautiful basses one day when I have that much expendable cash
@@ImJustStandingHere Just create a separate savings account and stash a little cash in there whenever it's not needed for something else and before you know it you'll be there! Regardless, you should come up to the shop anyway, I have quite a few basses that are not listed on the website that are very very affordable.
Can’t wait to get this baby in my hands. Thanks again John for everything.
@@aaronfarnsworth5387 It's my pleasure Aaron. Prepare to be completely blown away by this bass! Can't wait to hear your report.
I tried both. Sorry but you are wrong. 210 has all frequencies evenly present while 112 has mid / hi mid much more present which of course will make him sound louder.
So which one do you prefer? For me, all 12" I've heard so far have one anoying, honky,nasal hi mid frequency. Seems to be the case here too.....but I wasn't in the room and can't say for sure.
@@zeljkozuber6629 To me, the very best sound is the 210 sitting on top of a 115. If I cannot have an extension cabinet, then the one that sounds best would depend on the bass and playing style and what type of band. The 12" has a little more low mid punch, the 2x10" doesn't have the low mid punch, it is more even across the frequency range. I would use the 12 for Motown and classic rock and I would use the 210 for jazz. For funk and metal, I would really want the 210 and the 115.
@@JohnFoxBass Yep, I used 210+115 for long time but in last 10 years I've settled on two 210 cabs, cause I get even better results. Thou I use FMC cabs. Different brands(and speakers).....different results. Advantage of FMC cabs is, whichever amp head you use, it sounds good. Right now it's GR 800.
I was just like this guy is a horrible bass player then I realized I had my thumb of the screen and the video was playing 2x speed
Its a beauty! I noticed you only get used gear in very good condition. 😊
@@hushpuppykl Yes, I only take in items that I would be happy to own myself. My criteria is that if it never sells, that would be fine with me. :-)
@@JohnFoxBass … you got standards! No flea bitten basses. 👍👍 Also, your retail price for the used basses are very fair. I’m drooling over your ‘75 Jazz, might be a great companion for my ‘78 Jazz (rosewood fingerboard) 🤣😂
@@hushpuppykl That is a great bass. I'm really surprised it's still available. I'm going to lower the price for you now through the weekend!
Many, many thanks for the nice round of selected preamps! I really liked the sound of the Arkham so much, it would be great for my taste! Here I also became aware of Caveman, these products are easy obtainable in Europe, Arkahm on the other hand (unfortunately) not. For me, Caveman is recognisably in the shadow of Arkham. Noble is great but not in my price range. Caveman has a big plus with the very well thought-out connection section, which includes FX send/return and combines this with D.I., then the tuner output and the perfectly solved question of the power supply (both with BP1 compact and BP1). Arkham leaves the power supply solution to all customers outside North America, which further increases the cost of commissioning the Arkham. In this respect, Arkham clearly falls behind Caveman. If I take these technical details into account in addition to the sound, Caveman BP1 now also comes into focus for me. A headphone output for silent practice would also suit the products of both providers very well.
Is it correct that SFII are basically FD3 with more turn ? Like a P90 on a guitar vs single coil. Is there more difference between FD3 and FDV than SFII ?
@@francoishtzl157 I am sorry, I don't know how they are actually constructed. I only know how they each sound. Do you need to know the difference in how they are built in order to decide which type to order? Or why the question?
@@JohnFoxBass Was just curious ahah. But about if there is a bigger difference between FDV/FD3 and FDV/SFII it is to know which one to order on a custom
Thank you!

@@lee_parker I'm sorry, unfortunately I sold that bass a year ago and I can't seem to find any photos showing the serial number.
I've heard Dingwall stamps the pickup type in the upper corner except for the FD3N, but that's obviously not the case here. Good to know! Most importantly though, it sounds great. Is the Neve preamp available only in custom/Rio models from Dingwall?
@@BunchyMutt Yes, the Neve preamp is only available on Canadian built basses and on the John Taylor model. All the import models come with FD3n pickups. The Canadian built models all come with Canadian made pickups which all have the pickup model designation engraved in the pickup shell.
Woah, WHat's the story with that blue lefty on the wall?
@@pjmuck Just arrived. I just created a listing for it on the website.
Such a great model and what a color!
Absolutely beautiful! I can’t wait to get it home. Thanks John! The wait has definitely been worth it!
Dings sit really well in the mix even in very thick and busy genres, no matter what you use to play one. I play a DRoc5 - I listened to an untouched DI recording of all parts from a death metal band rehearsal yesterday (I was using a pick) and you should've seen my face prune up when I heard it cut through the mix like warm butter.
You get so many beautiful Dingwalls but unfortunately, it would probably cost me a lot more to buy from you and import it back to Canada.
@@pgmorrow You might be pleasantly surprised. Reach out to me through my website. I have sent quite a few of them to Canada.
Sounds great John. Pick, fingers, or thumb. Dingwalls still sound punchy, authoritative, and thick. After many years of playing only with my fingers. I love playing with a pick on these basses.
Beautiful!
Great preamp!
Nice
Life must be tough with such sub par gear😂
@@johnchristoffersen7231 I struggle a bit, but I get by. LOL
hi john am using headphones i dont know if its the way its eq,d but both sound a bit thin what do they sound like with the bass turned up, i basically play everything form 60,s to usual rock covers, and i am looking for the lightest 2x12 cab i can find but it has to have some proper bottom end. your thoughts and thanks
@@metalicman1948 Very good observation! This was the very first video I made when I got the Shure shotgun mic. I was so excited to get that mic, I bought it specifically so I could make videos like this. I listened to the video after uploading it, and was very disappointed that it didn't sound anything like what the cabinets sounded like in the room. Several weeks later, I actually read the manual that came with the mic, and found out that it has a built-in feature where it rolls off the lows below 150 Hz to prevent the mic from picking up rumbles and vibrations from the room, traffic, etc. And by default, the low frequency roll-off is enabled. So unfortunately, this recording was made with the lows significantly rolled off! Once I found that out, I really should have just taken down this video because it is completely invalid as far as what you are actually hearing. Regrettably, I don't have the wider 212 here anymore so I cannot do another comparison video with the mic's low frequency roll-off disabled. My spoken comments and written comments are valid, but what you are hearing in the video is not an accurate representation of how they sound. I've sold a whole bunch of these 212s and everybody who has gotten one has raved about it. I'm sure you won't be disappointed by the sound, and you'll be completely in love with the weight.
do you remember what pickups were in it?
Yes, FDV pickups.
@@JohnFoxBass Thank you!
@@BunchyMutt My pleasure. Thanks for watching. By the way, I have FDV pickups in stock if you need some. Also have a Z3 on order for delivery next year that is not spoken for yet. So if you are interested in getting one, reach out to me through my website!
Awesomme tone, sir ! :D
Gr Bass is the rising, abroad, amp and cabs star.
Are all these the self powered? I’m looking for something I can use for stage sound along with my quad cortex setup.
@@DiamondLifer The ones in this demo were not the self-powered ones. But I have several self-powered ones available. I would definitely recommend the 212: www.johnfoxbass.com/product-page/gr-bass-at-212-slim-800-act-800w-amp-built-into-a-2x12-cabinet-just-29-lbs I use it with my quad cortex, it's awesome.
@@JohnFoxBass think you can demo that so I can see how that would work?
@@DiamondLifer Very simple - I use a 2’ long XLR cable out from the QC into the input on the back of the cab. And the cab also has 110V AC power. You set the volume on the cab on zero, turn everything on, plug in and turn everything on, wait for the QC to finish booting up and then turn up the volume on the cab a little past halfway, turn up the volume on the QC to wherever you want your volume, and that's it. I can throw together a quick video demonstrating the whole thing if you want. If so, reach out to me through my website so I can send you a private link to the video. It's not going to be something very fancy that I would want to upload publicly to the channel.
@@JohnFoxBass that would be a huge help because I’m trying to put together a new live rig for this new group that uses QC with DAW and in ears and the full thing. So I’m trying to find the most efficient way to jump into the fold and still have great stage sound and tone at my fingertips.
Hi John, is this still available?
@@cheewaiyuen4237 sorry, no, that one was sold. But I have his eighth bass here, it's a four string. And I also have an incredible Slayer 5-string, one of my top few all-time favorite basses ever. Reach out to me through my website if you would like to learn more about that one.
@@JohnFoxBass sure ! I will search in your website 😄
@@cheewaiyuen4237 The other one is not listed on the website. It is my personal bass, so you'll have to email me.
@@JohnFoxBass oh I see ! May I have your email address ?
The SFIIs are little more V-shaped, but it's really not a very profound difference. You could EQ the FD3n to sound like a SFII. I think it would be more difficult to make a SFII replicate the mid-range bite of the FD3n (with frequencies, cutting is usually easier than adding). It would be interesting to hear the SFII through the Neve preamp.
That’s the best sounding D I’ve heard so far.
Hell yeah, Breaking Benjamin shirt.
What an incredible show that was!!!!
