How the F do you play that![/quote] Ferret, you're close. It's a fretted. Dingwall use ultra-small "banjo" frets on their basses. I've found them very comfortable to play so far. Also, the fanned frets have had no learning curve for me - honestly - it's just like picking up any other bass. I was dubious before I bought it having never played a Fanned Fretboard before, but until you get up the dusty end the fanned frets have a 0 sum learning curve I'll post come more pics later - sorry for being sucha tease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 More pics please... Also where did you get it from? Do Dingwall have a UK dealer yet, or did you have to import it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Wow, cool stuff. I've always liked Dingwalls. And always interested to be told that there is no learning curve with the fanned frets. Looking forward to seeing more pics! Are all Dingwalls active? Regards Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have UK distro but you can order anything direct from them ([email protected]) [quote name='Mike' post='3324' date='May 21 2007, 08:02 AM']Are all Dingwalls active?[/quote] Mine is. The 4 knobs are: Master Volume / Dingwall rotary pickup selector / bass boost and cut / treble boost and VTC on the same knob / active passive flick switch. It's a great preamp - someone really put alot of thought into it. Since this picture was taken I've added the new CNC machined rubber knobs that are standard on all new dingwalls, and a set of fres GHS M2500 Contact Core steels.

lukeward2004 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Its Different - but I like it. Not sure about the lines though, its got a certain twisted vibe going on, but lovely bass nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
