Still fighting my way through it. Still wondering if there is a system that is recommended. The in ear part seems to be quite well catered for. its the system which will allow me to mix the band into my in ears, which i have questions about thanks for taking the time to ask

Hi all , can i ask for your advice and expertise please? i am starting my journey toward in ear solutions, mainly to save what is left of my hearing and also to get a good balance across the band. I am constantly struggling with that on stage. can you point me toward the best systems you have experienced, and any pitfalls or issues i should beware? thanks for your time mike

Hi there, apologies for the slow reply! i feel your pain concerning ergonomics! After changing basses far too many times i settled on Dingwalls a little while ago, and have now fully made the transition to the fan fret system. They are light enough that i can play three sets in the evening without any shoulder pain, very flexible on tone for different genres!and i find my left hand has no stiffness at all after a gig. For me these three things are pretty huge! i have the Super PJ, which i find really good for solid ‘in the pocket‘ basslines. Anything which means good lo-mid, and non muddy bass then this bass flies. Its not as flexible in the upper register or super zingy if you know what i mean. I have the Pau Pau fretboard, so perhaps the maple would be different? However, when i am playing James Brown, motown or anything that normally suits a P Bass its quite phenomenal. The neck is the best i have played. Ever. The only but for me is the short scale at 32”. I have long monkey arms and prefer longer scale. For others this will be a good thing, so judge for yourself. i also find the banjo frets, and string tension give a great playing experience and sustain that goes on and on and on……. i also have the Combustion 4/2, and recently the NG3/4 and its these two basses that get taken to most gigs. The neck feels more Stingray than Jazz but still super comfy. But the tonal range, especially for Funk, and Dance stuff means i dont have to use an external preamp which i normally would with the Super PJ. dont be fooled into thinking that these basses are one trick ponies. Alot of reviews show people using them for Thrash Metal etc, because of their association with Nolly Getgood from Periphery, but they are great all rounders. The pre amp is very flexible as is the pickup selector, and it sounds great passive as well as active. i would recommend trying both before you make a decision. The Combustion/NG range are quite a bit cheaper, so worth a look. but be warned once you have made the move to Dingwall and fan fret there is no going back !! Let us know what you choose and feel free to ask any questions. cheers, Mike

What a true gent! Brilliant to deal with and very fast delivery. What else have you got to sell Jason! Call me first, lol

Thanks for replies!

🤣

Hi all is anyone using this cab as their single cab solution? I am deciding upon either this or the Berg NXT212……. your thoughts and experience very welcome! My back has GR, and my heart says Berg! thanks, Mike

Your just trying to make me jealous!

We were probably both in the same audience lol!

I agree! Gordons Gin , and loads of others

Or early Human League!

Oh alright then! so here is one of the original post punk bands, John Fox’s Ultravox! Not the rubbish with Midge Ure etc, but the original!

And here is the Propaganda tune i meant to reference…… i will stop now, this is getting obsessive!
