  1. My D roc is very light & balances very nicely on the strap,no neck dive at all.
  2. I would have to disagree with you there as I own two four string Dingwalls & am very happy with my punchy/tight sounding 36.25" E strings. It's nice to have even tension across all four strings & all to have a very similar timbre. 😁
  3. Both strap button sockets are recessed into the back of the body,it came with dunlop strap locks too. The balance is perfect,absolutely no neck dive & it is a very light bass too. It plays so easily that it convinced me to sell my vintage style basses (Rick 4003SW & P bass) & get the combustion to go with it. Only problem now is that I am gassing for a Canadian Dingwall next 😁
  4. it's actually a green one like mine 😁 I spotted it the other day & thought it was well cool
  5. The best light weight rig I have ever had is my current setup. In fact I would say it is the best rig I have ever had in 41 years of playing bass. Darkglass Microtubes 900 Markbass NY122. (with the tacky logo removed) Very powerful,sounds fantastic & light weight too.

    Bored

    Looks a bit cheesy
  7. Since I've bought both my Dingwalls in the last month & am currently gassing for the Mopar purple NG3 at bass direct I wouldn't even consider entering the GAS challenge 😁 (Well unless it was a farting contest that is,my wife reckons I could win one of those 😁)
  8. Excellent Well done 🤣
  9. Hi Tom. It's the same as the Mexican Fender Classic 50's P bass,so wide but slim & very comfortable. Nut width 1.75" Radius 7.25"
  10. Cheers guys,fortunately my work had some Duracells in stock so I got some safe day.
  11. Well I've had a good old play on it today & can confirm it is absolutely fantastic,so easy to play,amazing build quality & sounds very nice too. I had one of the original combustions not long after they came out & found it sounded very bland,the newer ones are a big improvement. I just need an NG3 now 😁
  12. cheers. I bought it from Bass Direct same as my D roc 😁 Both came in factory sealed boxes,so I was the first person to open them since they left Dingwall
  13. well only 4 weeks ago I received my lovely D roc,I am so impressed with it I decided to sell my Rickenbacker & buy myself a Dingwall Combustion,which has just arrived at work. Fortunately it is very quiet so I've had time to have a little play & adjust the setup. My D roc came setup perfectly but I had to tweak this a fair bit to make it play nicely. One odd thing though,there are no batteries in the battery compartment ! Is this normal ? Every active bass I have bought in the past came with batteries installed.
  14. The only photo I've taken of my D roc yet. Love this bass to bits,it almost plays itself,so much so I'm tempted to move my beloved Ricky on & buy an NG3
  15. How about this ? It's in the basses for sale section too.
  16. Just taken some GHS pressurewounds off my Rickenbacker & fitted a set of the above D'Addario nickels,love them they have a lovely rich tone but are not too bright.
