Your bass playing starts with your tone. And improving your tone is largely a matter of getting more control of your bass. In today’s video, Sheldon Dingwall walks you through our Quad-Tone pickup selector. When it comes to transforming your sound, this one control may be all you need...

Hello from Vancouver, I finally bit the bullet and purchesd a D-Roc 5 Standard in Vintage burst 2 weeks ago, and I can't stop playing it, I love everything about this bass, including the pickups and quad pickup selector and the neck on tbe D-Roc 5. Standard is to die for. Thank you, Sheldon and the Dingwall team. This won't be my last Dingwall purchase 😊

The clarity and coherence are just insane on these

So distinctive, I can even hear the difference on my phone speaker. A Dingwall is my bass holy grail. And if finances weren't the only thing keeping me from getting one, it would be the Lee Sklar signature Combustion in Ducati White.

You just can't beat these basses. I genuinely feel like there is something wrong with anyone that doesn't understand the hype

Really hope one day I can get one of these basses. 🤞🤞

love the tone selector on my D-roc 5 string :)

Finally got my hands on a 5-string Combustion 3, loving it and still can't decide which is my favourite pickup choice. Not a bad problem to have as they all sound great! 👌🖤

I swapped my D roc 5 Quod tone for the NG3 one. Its the perfect tone!! D rocs sound naturally big in the mix anyway. Giving it thew ng3 tones just made it even more versatile

Love the selector on my D Roc. It's like 4 basses in one. Ready for a deep-dive into the new Neve preamp though, haven't seen a lot of content on it yet.

I got an NG3 switch for my combustion to replace the Dbird switch and it changed the bass from a regret purchase to my favorite bass.

I own the D-roc 5. The completely passive selector does not do anything special - it dampens and phase cancels as all other passive means of pickup selection. I don't say that the bass does not have a clear sound (not bad for a passive instrument at least), I say that the selector has nothing to do with it.

I’ve got the D Roc 4 and personally find the pickup selector super useful - I guess it’s down to taste and use!

Dingwall axes are indeed versatile ones, try any freaking genre out there and you'll be surprised. 😍

I love my NG3 but I wish that there wasn't such a big volume bump when selecting the bridge+middle option compared to the other ones.

@dafoof 4 ай бұрын

I asked my local engineer to split my middle pick up to parallel. Solves the output problem and personally i think it makes the mids sound better.

@@dafoof thanks! I'll give that a try for sure

@hyperplayability6290 4 ай бұрын

You could also go for a custom rotary switch with middle and bridge in parallel instead in that configuration Sadly the output thing is just due to science (series wiring has more impedance than parallel)

@EsmeTheBassic 4 ай бұрын

I replaced my 4 way with a 6 way switch that added bridge and middle in parallel, as well as an option for neck in parallel with the bridge and middle in series. Highly recommended

Has dingwall ever considered 5 or 6 way switches? 4 gives you every combination on a 2 pickup bass, but you'll always be missing some sounds for 3 pickup basses. It's particularly weird since strats have 5 options.

@WartornNOR Ай бұрын

You'd need even more to cover everything... parallel vs serial as well.
