    I totally agree with your comment about “thinking vs. just playing” with fanned frets. My first Dingwall confused me a bit because I was staring at the neck while playing and comparing where my fingers landed and it caused me to fumble. Once I quite thinking about it and “just played the damn thing”, it was totally intuitive.

      Yeah, I’m glad that I quickly came to that realisation (again) 😂 Really intuitive instrument to play tbh!!

    Kinda diggin a few of the tones from that Tonestyler - I had one in an old G&L - I loved it. (esp one of the tones seemed to boost the mids - which I like)
    Sweet Dingwall too - enjoy it!

    I've a Super PJ 4-string hanging on the wall behind me... such a great bass and a nice alternative to the Z3! The 'shorter' scale length makes it incredibly playable.

    Sounds very clean an clear, no fret buzz, looks great! Honestly I've never heard of Dingwall til recently an was doing some homework before pulling the trigger on the D-Roc it's a bit of money, an obviously wanna get as much bang for my buck as possible! As you stated it's there with, or surpasses the other, bigger name basses?! I think I'm going to go for it... I'll keep you posted an let you know how I make out?! Thanks for your info an tutorial into Dingwall!!!

    Nice review, Erik! The first position on the Tonestyler is like you have no tone pot at all, just straight through. The second position is like tone full up. Unfortunately, this multi position Tonestyler is out of production; the newer ones have fewer bands. The "dub tone" from this bass is monstruous...

    Hey Erik,
    How is the neck compared to to the Dingwall combustion or the Attitude 3 ?
    Is it like a thicker neck like a P-bass or thin Jazz ?
    These basses are pretty rear in Sweden as you know so it's pretty hard to get a chance to test them.

    • @erikarko
      @erikarko  10 місяців тому +2

      I'd say it's "skinnier" than my Attitude basses and much more like my Fender P 1963. On the Dingwall homepage it says "Medium thin C shape" on the neck profile (and you can also find the proper measurements there!) :)

    Question for ya. Do you find your string are too short? Do your strings taper at the end? Are they long scale? I don’t want to have to buy Payson or dingwall string just to play my super p.

    I f...king hate those frets on my d-roc. They are so soft and small that I have to change them after a year of playing this bass. I have 7 basses and Dingwall is not the most used, but those frets, man, I can't say anything good about them.
