Gareth Hughes Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Hi all - I've been bitten by the Dingwall bug but have none nearby to try. So a question to you 4 string Dingwall owners - with the nut width being slanted (45.5mm on a 4 string D-Roc for example) - does anyone have an idea of what that translates to on the parallel side of things? In other words - in the hand, does the neck feel like a 38mm Jazz neck or a 42mm Precision neck, etc? Thanks in advance, Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Wider than a jazz, narrower than a P if I recall correctly. At least that's what it felt like to me G! I believe I did measure the one I had (long gone now I'm afraid!) but can't find the details now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 Ah - I did think to ask you directly but I thought yours was a 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I was looking at this earlier, the neck width at the nut on Combustion 4s all seem to be 42mm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a few 4 string Dingwalls and long term have never got on with them. Defintely a P feel for me, but I never measured it. Defintely doesn't feel anything like a 38mm neck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I should qualify my statement by saying I'm playing a 44mm P neck so yeah, closer to a 42mm neck. Something tells me the ABZ4 I had was 41mm... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 My NG2 & D roc 4 strings both have a fairly wide neck but not quite P bass,they are both very comfortable for me. Personally I don't get on with skinny J bass type necks. I bought a new 4 string ABZ which I stupidly assumed would have a similar neck to my other Dingwalls,however it was far too skinny for me so was moved on. It was passive & sounded weedy whatever setting I used,I even tried some other pickups but it was totally blown away by my D roc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 Thanks for that Artisan. Hmmmm - feeling my GAS might be heading in the ABZ direction - I do like a skinny neck. More food for thought. Appreciate the responses everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
