My D roc is very light & balances very nicely on the strap,no neck dive at all.

A bit unnecessary on a 4 string (unless you're playing with downtuned strings),

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.

Extremely cool.

I can't see a strap button so I assume it's on the heel - how is the balance?

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 😁

it's actually a green one like mine 😁

I spotted it the other day & thought it was well cool 

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.

Looks a bit cheesy

I’ve just realised I’ve dumped myself out of the GAS Challenge 2020 😬

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 😁)

I might have accidentally put deposit down on another Dingwall 😎.

Excellent 

Well done 🤣

Hiya,

What's the neck width on these please? what is the profile? is it slim or chunky?

cheers.

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"

Oh wow not doing my pbass GAS any good

You need it

You know you do

😁

Cheers guys,fortunately my work had some Duracells in stock so I got some safe day.

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 😁

Anyway, back on topic - cool bass! And you’ve got one of the newer Dingwall cases too! Where did you order from, @artisan?

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 

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.

Price drop time

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

How about this ?

It's in the basses for sale section too.

Dingwall D roc 

It just looks cool

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.
