artisan Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) well it was Friday actually đ Â I struggled to sell my D roc which was a surprise,so contacted Mark at Bass Direct who gave me a very generous trade in offer against a Canadian Dingwall. So here it is,my gorgeous ABZ & I couldn't be happier,it makes a fantastic partner for my Combustion. Ash body,Wenge fretboard & totally passive. Compared to the Chinese made Dingwall I have to say the Canadian made one is definitely of a much higher quality & it shows when playing it. Not that I'd dis a Chinese Dingwall,they too are totally awesome basses. Edited July 19, 2020 by artisan 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Congrats!! and I do agree about the jump in...well just about everything when you go Canadian.  The Chinese basses are a great introduction to Dingwall but the Afterburners and Z basses are something else entirely  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmayhem Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I've had a sh*tload of Dingwalls: Prima 6, Sklar, Super J4, Super J5, Super P4, Super P5 and an Afterburner I 5 string HS; the ones I favour are the all passive Super P4 and ABI. ABZ is the barebone gem: no dead meat, just plain good bass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I too traded my Combustion in for a Super J and then added a Super P. Completely new level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Happy NBD from a fellow Dingwaller. Are the controls Volume, Tone, P/U Selector? And is the tone the regular sort, or does it cut mids when turned past a notch at the mid point? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know the tone control is a standard one,but I'm not certain as I've not really touched it much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Super PZ5 scoops the mids (passively) after the mid-point on the tone control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tone control youâre referring to is their âTone Fusionâ pot, which I believe they only use on their passive Super series basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealting Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 The ToneFusion pot is useful though, and any decent tech would be able to replicate it for you. I only took mine out to replace it with Sadowsky preamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
