Thanks guys, thats really helpful

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

Will send pm, yes pls!

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

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

Such great basses. I have one in blue and just wanted to endorse the sale. You will be amazed by the tonal range and the open E, or D if drop tuned , are amazing.

My back has GR, and my heart says Berg!

we are together on this brother!

 

I should probably point out that I don't really use any effects myself other than occasional low gain drive, always on  compression and high pass filtering. All through the front end and I've never had any issues doing it this way. By all means experiment to see what works for you but my personal experience has taught me to leave the sexy and flashy effects to the guitarists and keys player, it might sound boring but I've found them to be mostly detrimental to the bass in a band situation. But see what works for you! 

Great, you have pm.

Will it fit the made in Japan models? Very tempted.

Is this still for sale?

Looks interesting. So, does it store effects as well? Or does it work like a normal sansamp?

thanks

I saw Bauhaus many, many times back when they were in their pomp, some of the early gigs were so exciting, proper possessed madness, extraordinary.

We were probably both in the same audience lol!
