+1 for the Dingwall Afterburner.
I struggled for ages to find a 5 string that worked for me, The second I picked up my Dingwall everything was right with the world.
Go to bass direct and have a chat with Mark.

I tune ADADG for one of my bands and after dicking about for ages with various basses and strings etc i picked up a Dingwall and my problems were solved.
I got an ABZ, Nothing too fancy but its awesome, sounds amazing, so versitile and its pretty much the only bass i use now whatever tuning im using.

Just a reminder, Brighton hydrant tomorrow night.

Why not use this oppertunity to try out a Dingwall?

Beware though, you will buy it!

Just stop it OK?

I cant believe you would be so cruel as to wave this infront of my eyes at such a moment of financial bleakness!

You are a trully bad person!

That reminds me of lugging my old Trace Elliot rig about, great sound but sooooooooo heavy!
kinda miss it but not much!

[quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='1134575' date='Feb 20 2011, 05:46 PM']Excellent choice.

I remember hearing "Tarred & Feathered" when I was younger and it blew me away. Still one of my favourite tracks of all time.[/quote]

Jim is a force of nature, ive never once seen that man mess up and ive seen Cardiacs about a Kazillion times
(rough estimate)

Such a god awful shame that they will never grace a stage again, it absolutely makes me numb just thinking about it!

(get yer selves here to buy the TIM SMITH benefit album....... [url="http://www.thegenepool.co.uk/items/597.htm"]http://www.thegenepool.co.uk/items/597.htm[/url] )

First Bass Owned: crappy P Bass copy bought out of the back of Kerrang magazine
'Go To' Bass: Modded 5 string Pro Epiphone T-Bird
'Your' Bass: Dingwall ABZ (very recently aquired)

oooh!
I thought it was a pink one, looks awesome in red!
Well nice!

Jim Smith-Cardiacs definately merits a mention here.

Super solid player of some very abstract nonsence given to him by his brother to play along to.

[quote name='Sheldon Dingwall' post='1133029' date='Feb 19 2011, 04:09 AM']Glad you're liking it Meenie. I love that finish. So far that's the only one like it. We're thinking seriously of adding it to the option list.[/quote]


Nah, leave it as a one off!

No seriously though, its a proper beauty and i think you would shift a fair few in that finish.

I'm so absolutely stoked with the bass, every time i pick it up it just seems to get better and better!

I took it round to Beat the red ligh HQ last night and it was drooled all over by the band, cant wait to gig it!

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='1132539' date='Feb 18 2011, 06:16 PM']The 3rd one I am picking up tomorrow morning is this:

Super J 5 strings with a P/J pickup configuration

I trust they thought better of adding the matching coloured headstock insert on the pink ones as it would probably look a bit rude!

....or drowning after hitting an iceberg whilst daydreaming about bass guitars?

Francis Rocco Prestia, absolute master of fingerstyle, here is but one example of a great many.....

The man is a god as far as i'm concerned!

Definately get yer cash back mate, be rid of the hassle!

Ok, Here are some pictures of dubious quality......

Hi Wazoo,

I knew you had an ABZ and an AB2, whats the other one?

Heh!
I promise its true, i'll be living on beans on toast for the rest of the year now as my bank balance took a bit of a pounding!

I havent taken any pics as yet but you can see the one i bought here......

I have been lusting after a Dingwall for some time now after a few chats with Sheldon and Mark at Bass Direct it seemed like it was gonna be the bass for me and i'm pleased to say i have actually gone at got one!

I managed to skive the afternoon off of work the other day and drove up to Warwick with the idea of just trying them out....
Well as soon as i sat down with the ABZ i had been drooling over (even before it had been shipped!) i knew i wasnt leaving there alone!!!

My god, what a bass!
Sheldon trully is a genius, i would totally reccomend anyone having a go on one even if you are not in the market for a new bass, the Novax Fanned fret system is just so easy to play, i didnt really even have to think about adjusting my playing, i just dropped right in there and was off...easy as that!
Believe me, i'm no awesome bassist either but it was just rediculous how much it just wasnt an issue.

As for the bass itself, well it just sounds amazing, such a range of tones!
I am absolutely thrilled to bits with it and cant wait to gig the hell out of it!


Cant end without giving Mark some props either, he's a proper nice bloke who makes you feel really welcome in his little alladins cave of a shop, really cant reccomend Bass Direct highly enough, Mark really knows his stuff.



...Rant over!
