Scooby Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) The name Dingwall and fan-frets have become synonymous but you should also include quality, tonal range, lightweight and playability to the name. Edited November 6, 2013 by Scooby
Ashborygirl Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I love Dingwalls, the fanned frets make for an incredibly even response, they are super comfortable to play & a doodle to adjust to. Great price, great bass.
Satrugar Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Incredible instruments, those Dingwalls! I'm absolutely in love with my Super P5... If it had one more string, I'd be seriously tempted... Is it the active or the passive version? From the looks of it I'd say passive, am I right?

[/quote] Correct It's the passive model but you really wouldn't believe the output from those pups - seriously loud and the 4-way pup control (bridge, parallel, series, neck) combined wight he tone control gives you a huge array of sounds.
warwickhunt Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 My old bass and fabulous it is... really surprised to see this back up for sale so soon, it will be someone's 'forever' bass!

[/quote] I know. My Super P is also passive and packs a massive punch nonetheless. Additionally my Le Fay Herr Schwarz has exactly the same controls as your Super J (also passive with the 4-way switch, tone and volume) and it's as versatile as I could ever wish for, definitely no active pre needed! Good luck with the sale....(maybe I should check if I could offer anything as tradebait....not sure though )

You are all making me feel as if I should persist with the fan frets! Edited November 4, 2013 by Scooby
Kev Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I'm doing my part to try and help Col raise the cash haha! Great looking bass mate, GLWTS
