If you’d be open to trying new strings… the Newtone Northlane set ain’t bad. I’m G# on all my Dingwalls and cost is 40 odd. They don’t die nearly as quick as the paysons did. They do custom ones too if your gauge isn’t as ridiculous as the 37 inch. Or if they’re more ridiculous.

It seems so, I’ve not tested that yet.

My player arrived this week. I’ve used a variety of modellers and so far this one is pretty decent. I never used the profiling on my QC so this is a new thing. but the sounds are insanely good. Looking forward to using it with my band. Just need to sort outputs. We tend to play a venue who insist on using a mic’d bass cab, so I’d need to kill the cab on that output, but use another output with the cab enabled for my IEMs. I don’t mind the lack of screen as it will be in my rack controlled by midi.

To go to an extreme…the Darkglass ADAM is pretty funky in the sense that you run two chains in essence. One with a compressed clean sound, the other absolutely mental distortion. With the option of balancing. I mean, I’m selling one soon too hah. But something with a blend is needed. Someone above mentioned a sansamp or Behringer clone. You’d do good with one of them. You can add a wee bit of grit to your hearts content!

According to that, my city has mostly death and black metal bands. My old power metal bands on it which is nice.

Something that might be worth considering, see if you can get a cheap travelodge or something. Drive, grab cab, sleep, drive home. I’ve done that for grabbing some gear. And the dog. If you have a partner, take them with and have a wee jonty! My wife quite enjoyed the days out.

NBD (kinda) - Dingwall NG3 Darkglass Anniversary- with added LEDs
woodyratm replied to woodyratm's topic in Bass Guitars
I don’t think they remove the fretboard or frets, but there does seem to have been a channel routed in the neck. Feels completely flush though. Will grab photos when it’s back from being setup! -

Have you got the owned CD’s as digital format already? Memory serves you’d need to upload. Though I do think moises has a mode through the microphone, so if you played the track, it should listen and learn.

Best Strings To Detune a Whole Tone on a 4003 Ric
woodyratm replied to Rickytwo's topic in General Discussion
Newtone do pretty awesome strings. You can custom make if the normal brands gauge don’t suit. Depending on what you’re doing, you might need to adjust the nut. My basses are 150 on the low string with the nut filed (5 string) -

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2023?
woodyratm replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
I had a few Dingwalls over the last few years but never fully committed. This year I’ve fallen majorly for them. Completely replaced my Status basses (bar one). If you decide you want a Dingwall 5 or 6, hit me up 😂 -
Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2023?
woodyratm replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
I bought a Dingwall Afterburner 1 and it’s absolutely amazing. Got a kemper player ordered that I’m hoping will be fun. -
I bought this with the aim of using a 6 string more. But I’ve found I only use it for noodling! I’m much more of a 5 string player, so there’s no point this kicking around at the moment for me. Great condition and super easy to play (this was my first ever 6!). The previous owner got his tech to add the yellow lines on the body. I quite liked them, made the bass a bit more unique. They look like they were meant to be there. It’s got the Dingwall soft case and toolkit and has Dunlop strap locks - so if you use them, you’re golden. Currently setup G# D# G# C# F# B with Newtone strings (Northlane set) Based in Aberdeen, but can ship. I have boxes. Will grab more photos if needed 😊

I’ve started using them on my Dingwalls. Much happier than when I used the Schallers, much lower profile.

woodyratm replied to BigJHW's topic in General Discussion
I’ve been a 4 player for years, but recently started playing down at G#. So much easier to use 5 or 6 strings! -
I’m selling another of my Dingwall basses. This bass is excellent, no marks that I’m aware of! Sounds fantastic and plays great. Currently setup for G# (with a 170 gauge string on the low string so would go lower with ease). I think I still have have a few payson strings too. It’s got the Darkglass tone capsule and is pretty versatile. I used it to record my bands latest single (https://open.spotify.com/track/7JvwBL17LKHuBQKjHlNY9b?si=8b2K9591SFKL4REjf62MCg) It was sold to me without a case, but I have one to put it in and have a box that it could be shipped in (and wrapped up insanely well!) Based in Aberdeen. (Will update with more pictures!) 😊

This thread makes me sad. I have had to replace my one of my basses about 3 times in 2 months. Using Payson. £15 for the low string each. They die so quick. I’m trying the Newtone strings on my new 6 and they’ll go on the 5 when back from Sims.

I wasn’t sure on this. So messaged them a while back.
