I have 1 complete set of Dingwall strings (.045, .058, .075, 0.98)

and 1 set with the following:

1 x .058

1 x .075

2 x .098

so basically no G string and 2 E strings (dont ask, they came from Dingwall that way by mistake).

Im using Stadium Elites on my Dingwall so these are not required.  They are brand new.

I will post first class (included in the £25) to the UK only.

Thanks

I have a brand new set of DR Black Beauties high performance bass strings with gauge 40-100. 

£35 online but I will send first class for £25 including first class delivery.

Let me know if interested.

Post to UK only.

Thanks

Hi everone

I'm taking delivery of a dingwall NG2 4 String next week. I really like light strings on my bass ideally 35-95 or there about. Has anyone any experience of lighter strings on this type of bass I.e. long scale with fanned frets.

If so, what variety have you gone for. I spotted the HI-Beams and Elite Stadium strings day are quite long but I'm not sure if long enough. I may just end up going for the dingwall strings but they are heavier gauge than I'd ideally like.

Any advice much appreciated.

Damon

What do these go for new? Do the fanned frets take a lot of getting used to? I do love the look. Cheers 

That's a pretty colour

I have to tell you that I am very tempted indeed. In fact, I'm more thinking about the logistics as I am located up here in Blackpool. I'd drive down if it wasn't for this covid nonsense 

This is lovely... and I don't normally like bongos. What is the neck like compared to a stingray? Cheers

Hope you don't regret parting with her. Gorgeous bass

A precious thing

Hello

Ive been playing a Musicman Stingray for the past 15 years or so.  Recently I purchased an Aria Pro SB-1000 in oak and have equipped it with some Black Beauties strings (light gauge).  I have also had the action set ultra low as I like.  Ive always loved the look and sound of the bass from the late 80's when I first got into playing after watching John Taylor of Duran Duran.

Apart from getting used to the feel of the bass (which took a little time after playing the Stingray for so long), I just wanted some advice on which mode is most popular for playing live.  I imagined that with 18V of active power and the 6 position active switch I would be spoilt for choice but what im finding is that the passive mode is giving me the power and warmth I need without going to active mode.  I can also feel the passive mode working best for live as I play in a functions band so play rock, pop, soul, funk etc. I dont see the active settings as being very versatile for a varied set.  

Id love to know what other people feel about passive vs active in a live situation for the SB-1000.  I feel that by not being in active mode im kind of not unleashing the power of the bass... but do love the sound im getting with passive mode. 

Thanks! 

Item now sold, thanks

It's a 15" plus horn cab with a 330w power amp, which is primarily designed to sit underneath a D-Bass 115 or 210 but it's also useful as a power amp/speaker. You could even use it run from a Line Out from a smaller combo to extend both the tone and volume of your amp and make a modular rig. It has its own Volume and Tweeter control and so you can add whatever you need.

It uses the FFP speaker system which I found gave excellent controlled response at all volumes, and it produces a clear, uncoloured tone.
