    The main riff I played for the majority of the demo is from “What’s The Use?” by Mac Miller. The line I played at the end with flatwounds was an approximation of Jamerson’s line on “I’m Still Waiting” by Diana Ross.

    I’ll take the Dunlop locks. PM incoming.

    Just done a little video, added to the original post. Every little helps! Clips with D’addario EXL Nickel Rounds and a cheeky clip with it strung with TI Flats too.

    What can I say, I’m a hoarder.

    If I didn’t have 3 of them I wouldn’t be selling!

    The second of my Dingwall Super Ps for sale. Alder body in a lovely vintage white with tortoiseshell pickguard. The photos don’t quite show the creaminess of the finish! 5 piece Maple neck construction with a dark Wenge fingerboard. Pearloid fingerboard inlays and a pearloid “D” logo headstock inlay. Very snazzy. This bass has all the high-end design features of a Canadian Dingwall but it looks about as classic as classic can get on stage (remember them?) As far as I can tell, there is only one hairline scratch and one tiny ding in the paintwork, both photographed. Dingwall’s custom Hipshot multi scale bridge and Hipshot USA tuners, along with Dunlop Dual-Design straplocks which accept normal straps as well as those with the appropriate lock ends. Fitted with the Dingwall Tone Fusion tone control which has a centre detent - anti clockwise of the detent gives you a traditional tone rolloff and clockwise of the detent give you a passive mid cut. The scale is 34.25 - 32” from E to G. Any normal long scale strings will fit the bass comfortably. It weighs an almost ridiculous 7lbs 6oz - no, that is not a typo. Seven pounds and six ounces. The original Dingwall Levy’s gig bag is included, along with the original paperwork and tools. No Trades - unless it’s an incredible 5 string Jazz that will usurp the Xotic XJ I’ve just put a deposit on! Collection-wise, I’m willing to meet anywhere in London, in a well-ventilated/outdoor area with appropriate precautions taken re: masks etc. I’m also happy to have this delivered via @BigJim’s personal bass courier service. Fully insured and hardcased same day delivery. This is more expensive than a “normal” courier but offers much greater peace of mind with videos and photos taken by him and sent to both parties at each stage of delivery to ensure everyone is happy. No international delivery - sorry!

    Here we have one of my Dingwall Super Ps for sale. Swamp Ash body, with lots of figuring and even cross-cross flaming across the grain in places, most notably on the rear. Matte satin finish. Technically Dingwall call this a Super PZ - the “Z” denoting the use of Swamp Ash. 5-piece maple neck construction with a Pau Ferro fingerboard. Custom Hipshot USA tuners which are countersunk into the headstock, Dingwall’s custom Hipshot multi scale bridge, along with Dunlop Dual-design strap locks which accept normal straps as well as those with the appropriate lock ends. String spacing at the bridge is 19mm and the scale is 35”-32” from the low B to the high G string. Any normal long scale strings will fit comfortably - and I’ve tried plenty from D’addario, Maruszczyk, Dunlop, Ernie Ball, Thomastik...the list goes on. The original Tone Fusion knob (included in the sale) has been replaced with a Tonestyler 10, which for me has been a real upgrade as I personally never used the “mid cut” feature on the tone fusion. This mod was done professionally at @thebassgallery. It has the odd small mark/scratch here and there, which you really have to search for due to the figuring of the Swamp Ash body. I’ve photographed the most obvious ones. Weighs in at a svelte 7lbs 14oz! The lightest 5 string bass I’ve ever owned, by far. The bass will come with it’s original Dingwall-branded Levy’s gigbag along with the original paperwork/tools. No Trades - unless it’s an incredible 5 string Jazz that will usurp the Xotic XJ I’ve just put a deposit on Collection-wise, I’m willing to meet anywhere in London, in a well-ventilated/outdoor area with appropriate precautions taken re: masks etc. I’m also happy to have this delivered via @BigJim’s personal bass courier service.

    Just messaged you @BigJim

    @Quatschmacher will be the man to give you the best run down of the two, however I’ve owned both (still have the C4) and they both sound very good. There are things the FI can do that the C4 can’t, and things the C4 can do which the FI can’t, however for me the significant factor that made me get rid of my FI and seek a C4 is the difference in user interface. In my opinion the C4 is miles ahead in this regard simply due to how polished the Neuro mobile editor app and preset sharing ecosystem is. Makes it so quick and easy to edit, browse and share sounds. Since you’ve had your Future Impact for so long you’ve presumably grown accustomed to editing it though. Of course, the C4 doesn’t have onboard MIDI connections whereas the FI does, which may or may not be important to you. C4 is MIDI compatible - it just requires either a Neuro Hub or a gHost compatible MIDI switch such as the Disaster Area range of controllers which are able to connect directly to the C4 via USB. Also, you can “play” the Future Impact by plugging in a MIDI controller keyboard, effectively making it a digital synth module for keyboard players too, which is pretty cool. The C4 doesn’t do this but it may be of zero use to you anyway. Depending on your setup and whether or not you use a pedalboard, the difference in relative sizes of the units is pretty huge. The C4 is tiny compared to the Future Impact so if you’re tight on space it’s a no brainer.

    The review section is a sadly abandoned ghost town though. Much more chance of the post being seen here IMO, even if it is the “wrong” part of the forum.

    I was thinking the same but it seems that’s the only colour. Would love it in “worn black” or even a delightful “aged wine”, similar to Maruszczyk’s much more expensive offering:

    Very classy!
  15. CameronJ
    Purrrfect
  16. CameronJ
    Gah! I would have had the Dingwall strap!
  17. CameronJ
    Surprised this is still here tbh!
  18. CameronJ
    This is crazy nice. Makes me wonder what the other bass is, to knock this one off the shelf! Edit: ah, the Celinder!

    I’ve got the “L” version and it’s decent. Not sure I’d use it on a gig. Would probably prefer the WL50 version with the pedalboard receiver as I’d be able to easily recharge the transmitter between sets, plus I’d never have to worry about receiver charge as it’d be plumbed into my board’s PSU. Plus it gives the option of plugging a cable directly in, should the transmitter die on you. And the pedalboard receiver allows for extended range vs. the WL20’s bug receiver. If it’s of use to anyone, Andertons currently have the WL50 priced at £5 more than the WL20. As it stands, the 20L that I have is perfect for home use and little jam sessions but I’d be wanting a more robust system for gigs really, in terms of features and form factor.

    Single action truss rods can only go between “flat” and bending in one direction. Dual action rods can bend both ways, allowing your neck to be adjusted both forward and back relative to your playing position.
  21. CameronJ
    I always assumed that dual action rods were standard on basses built relatively recently? As in, the last 20-30 years or so? But that assumption is based on absolutely nothing tangible! They are a godsend and I don’t know why anyone would continue using single action rods in their builds once dual action options became readily available, other than for the purposes of penny pinching...

    Another +1 for both Wunjo’s on Denmark street and Andertons, both of whom I’ve had nothing but excellent experiences with.
  23. CameronJ
    Best colour!
  24. CameronJ
    Oh bloody hell. I was hoping this was the 5 string version!
  25. CameronJ
    I doubt they ever will - the Spectradrive is as close as we’ll likely ever get. Although I feel like it’s the kind of project John East @John-E-Retro could make happen!
