  1. [quote name='molan' timestamp='1473418861' post='3130016'] It's in the small print: SPECIFICATIONS: •Dingwall made in Canada FD3n pickups* •Darkglass 3-band pre-amp, active/passive switch •Rotary 4 way pickup selector bridge, both parallel, both series, neck) •Dingwall USA strings - buy HERE •Alder body - Black Finish •Maple Fingerboard - 37 - 34" scale •Black dots •Carbon Fibre pickguard •Banjo frets •NOVAX® FANNED-FRET SYSTEM™ (see below) •Five piece maple neck •Black nickel hardware •Hipshot licensed tuners •Manufactured in China •Final set up at Dingwall Shop in Canada Manufactured in China but finished in Canada. I agree that it's possible to get quality stuff from China but they tend to be cheaper than Korea and Indonesia simply because labour costs are dirt cheap. [/quote] Interesting angle. I don't think its fair to say Dingwall hide it in the smallprint, the combustion basses are half the price of the next range and its in the specs. They are all set up professionally in Canada as well bear in mind. I find that in China you get exactly what you pay for. A £1.3K bass built in China is a £1.3k bass, as opposed to basses built in the UK/US/Germany/Canada, where value for money varies wildly!
  2. Use external image hosting sites, best way really! Photobucket etc
  3. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1473344785' post='3129362'] I just do not seem to like Dingwall's approach to style or tone. Now it seems they are venturing further into the really heavy spectrum of metal...I've seen a few videos of NG and whilst he can play quickly, it just does nothing for me. A very brave colour! ...and people said the Bongo was odd looking! [/quote] Watch more of NG , his playing can get very technical and is so much more than fast playing! Being primarily a guitarist he plays his bass more that way perhaps, but very talented indeed. These basses are certainly love/hate but superb basses for the money.
  4. Just go to the website in the clearance section, its all there Very tempted by one of the Berg cabs!
  5. Ill have to check out your tracks, awesome!
  6. [quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1472945406' post='3125567'] Just a shot of all the pedals I have, actually getting a second board going so I can switch thing up and use more of my pedals if I feel like it [URL=http://s245.photobucket.com/user/0175westwood29/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_2.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg72/0175westwood29/Mobile%20Uploads/image_2.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] [/quote] Insane dude. Do you actually use all of these in your band??
  7. [quote name='ziggydolphinboy' timestamp='1473002077' post='3125914'] bump and offers on thius lovely anologue unit [/quote] Analogue? Its digital, but a brilliant piece of kit for sure. Newer Boss multi effects don't come close to the synth sounds this can make.
  8. The inevitable flood of these in the classifieds seems to have started, two up in the last week or so, and these are the good ones??

    It is certainly voiced for bass so you will lose highs. Music certainly sounds darker through the aux, but you may get away with it
  10. Our third track is now online, be great to have any further comments https://www.facebook.com/BarbikanBand/ https://www.facebook.com/BarbikanBand/videos/1117196341703481/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvuQdVYr3Z8
  11. Awesome, is there additional stain on the topwood?
  12. All trade offers by PM only please. Lovely bass as always bud!
  13. Glad to be getting one back. Regretted selling the one I had, and this has to be the funkiest paint job for a pedal ever!
  14. [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1472730406' post='3123714'] Aftershock gone, Proton on hold! [/quote] Did you get my pm?
  15. Could be interested in that SubT, however is it the camera angle or is the clean knob bent or out of line with the others??
  16. [quote name='gioby1' timestamp='1472390565' post='3120736'] Yes, I know Combustion models are made in China but due to his serial number I thought this bass could be made in Canada... Impossibile?? [/quote] It will have been made in China, and set up in Canada
  17. [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1472579360' post='3122335'] I asked Adrian the same question back in the day. He says there's no difference, as does Roger Sadowsky... I agree with them both. Both of mine are chambered and they're awesome. [/quote] Interesting. Is the argument that it only makes a difference if they have a sound hole? Certainly a Dingwall ABII sounds pretty different from a Dingwall ABI, although they do have different woods too.
  18. Thousands of pounds have gone the way of Bass Direct from me over the past 5 or 6 years, almost always Mark has dealt with me personally when I have came in with a handshake and a chat, can't ask for more really. He is opinionated and he has his own views, but I like that about him. Plenty of shop owners could just let you buy something that would clearly be unsuitable. Sure, he wont always be right, but ultimately its your choice to ignore his recommendation if you wanted to! By contrast, a couple (not all) of his members of staff I have dealt with when he hasn't been in shop did seem pretty disinterested nor keen to talk bass, which is a shame.
  19. I meant the optical illusion. The cab looks gigantic, or the bass looks tiny, or its hovering in mid air, or the 2x10 has been flattened..... Probably just me haha!
  20. [quote name='gioby1' timestamp='1472377861' post='3120615'] I'm very sorry for your loss. Can you post a picture about the back of headstock for reading where the bass was made? Many thanks. [/quote] These basses are made in China and checked/set-up at Dingwall in Canada. They are exceptional value for money.
  21. That picture confused me so much more than it probably should have.
