I already have a high mids on my current bass. Since it has a 4-way eq, so still a high also. But I hardly ever use them. So passive is fine. Been reading up a but, and especially for going low, harder wood seems good. So a D-Roc. In that case I also don't have to think if I want the tone capsule.

Good point, maybe I should go to the shop a second time, and try both models with a strap.

Fret access likely not. If I meed to go there I could always use my other bass. The selector can be changed, I'm not sure what would be my preference. I also saw a after burner that had the selector in the D-Roc way. I do believe the pickups on the D-Roc are slightly more towards neck. It also seems that the closest to a P-bass sound for the D-Roc is just the middle one, while for the after burners it's just the neck one. But likely, if you want, you could even change that on a custom. The body wood is something that's fixed for the D-Roc and it's part of the sound. But the swamp ash is lighter.

I was looking for a next bass, and really gravitate towards a Dingwall. Especially since you can get them f# tuned, and I really like those lower notes. I also tried a D-Roc and a John Taylor Signature in a shop. Problem is, I keep shifting between the D-Roc and the abz. I really like the look of the D-Roc, but it has less frets, and they are a bit less accessible, especially with a strap. I got that from a review, as I wasn't using a strap when trying it out. The abz is also a bit lighter. One of the other major differences is the pickup placement, and the selector working differently, where with the D-Roc you have the option to use them all. Maybe I just need to try a abz somewhere, so I can compare how they sound properly. Which is the most important thing after all.

Been playing it for a few days now, especially the playability is great. I also like the 4 band eq. I asked the pickup to moved to p-bass position. Really like how it sounds.

My Bogart finally arrived. Very happy how it turned out.

Sorry to hear that. It scares me a bit, as I made the same tradeoff, also with regard to the Brexit, not going to Status. Status isn't even taking orders now, really hope all goes fine with my Bogart bass, it should be there in a month.

Just have to wait one week before I can order mine. Edit - Just ordered.. now I have to wait..

It's a great first bass, it's still my only bass for now. Welcome

I was pretty sure to be ordering a Status in a few weeks. But reading up on Bogart now, and seem like almost as new for much less. And since it's EU the total cost is transparent. Any pros for status, I guess neck through should allow for a bit better sustain?
