This Bass Is GOLDEN! - Dingwall D-Roc Custom [Demo]

[@patrickhunter]

Stay golden out there, y'all! 👑

[@joshuabarnes7543]

Patrick Hunter I would love to see you demo dingwall’s super jazz and super p basses

[@chrischilton8455]

You are so right Patrick. This is a stellar looking bass. Gorgeous modern design and aggressive tones. But what I love most is that it's passive. Awesome!

[@xavierarmendariz7155]

What I love about Dingwall is how easy it is to distinguish the sound of their basses.

[@seanhendricks2714]

Modern classics!

[@Wynorrific]

Mainly when they have newer strings on. Once the strings lose their sound, it's pretty similar to just a Stingray or J bass

[@FreeformRock]

I think it's more the darkglass what you distiguish

[@darkySp]

Almost every Dingwall owner or reviewer uses a Darkglass preamp and/or distortion pedal, so i don't know...

[@DEM94]

@@darkySp I have an Strandberg Prog Bass and using it with Neural DSP's Parallax or with any Darkglass pedal is almost indistinguishable from a Dingwall with the right configuration!

[@dezsodebreceni4829]

I think it manages to put a good spin on the Gibson design

[@carpediemarts705]

The only thing about it that is Gibson like is the body shape. That rhomboid isn't owned by Gib. If the neck, scale, wood, electronics are all Dingwall, don't get distracted by the shape of the body.

[@pCeLobster]

@@carpediemarts705 It was literally designed and originally marketed as their version of a Thunderbird, not a completely original design that happened to be rhombus shaped. It was called the D-Bird lol. They only changed the body shape and name to avoid being sued by Gibson.

[@T-Hawkeyes]

8:30 Definitely enjoyed this bit.

[@JJ-nq3ll]

That Golden bass really got my attention! 🎸🎸

[@blakeoaks25]

Would love to see you cover some of the mid-high end ESP Ltd basses. There aren’t many demos on KZbin.

[@jaxonvictoria4345]

blakeoaks25 i agree. I was just looking up demos on the GB and Stream basses and I was disappointed with how little the search yielded.

[@terdcutter3193]

dingwalls tone is the most unique sound on the low freq spectrum these days

[@garnetbezanson1404]

I love gooold. The schmell of it, the taste of it

[@jzhartung]

One of my fav albums of all time, gotta get me that shirt!

[@RadityoPramAdi]

Fellow man of culture

[@ElliotComposer]

sounds great and that riff around 9 minute mark was awesome!!!

[@driverbass1554]

I agree, would definitely like an additional selection for the neck pickup. The Gold is nice but I'm afraid Copper would be probably too awesome for my wallet

[@filipppmandaglio1930]

You are my favourite bass player on KZbin!!!!!

[@Below-Average_Joe]

I am sad to say that I will probably never have one, but I absolutely love Dingwall Basses. They play great and sound perfect too.

[@El-Scorcho]

I love it. I wish the website was more clear about how I could buy it.

[@jimmyjam5358]

That diddy at 6.5 mins was so smooth

[@RufusMann]

the headstock is just... mwah

[@ronking1192]

Finally!, A Dingwall I like!!

[@Sarncho]

Can't wait to get mine! Got exact same bass coming but with Drop-A tuner. Will go nicely next to my standard D-bird!

[@LowEndLobster]

Great video! That bass is SICK! I just got an Epiphone Thunderbird Pro V for review.... wanna trade ;)? (I kid)

[@alexskibicki2262]

Awesome demo, Patrick. \m/ that bass has a killer sound. Especially with distortion.

[@johnmoser2689]

I really would like to try one they sound amazing... pretty much every one I've seen playing one seem to consistently approve

[@MrPurpleNess10]

What a beauty ❤️, and the bass guitar too 😉

[@uhhhmaeve]

This bass sounds great - and as far as 2020 basses go, you have to get the new Spector Skyler Acord signature on the channel, that thing looks and sounds monstrous and I am saving up to get one

[@ronnybabiloni7478]

Actually the Thunderbirds that have the strap buttons at the back of the neck does not really neckdive at all, but the D Roc has a better balance no question, but it had it's price: because of the neckjoint and the straplock you can't really access the upper frets 15+, or only in a tricky way. I can reach with a Tbird easier the higher frets although the body is not that ergonomic in any way. It's not really bad because usually rock/metal players have nothing to do in that register and in my opinion this slight inconvenience separates the bass from the absolute perfection. I'm really glad to have both basses!

[@dave13dc]

I have a really battered Blackbird Nikki Sixx Gibson that has different strap lock positions and there is significantly reduced neck dive. I’m way too old for a Dingwall.

[@cavetroll666]

Cant wait to get my d roc 5 standard blue purple colorshift

[@chronic_johnson_a.r.a.b]

Now you HAVE TO play the distorted bassline from Failure's very underrated track "Golden" on this beast. Would sound great.

[@ZombiePenguinStudios]

finally a dingwall review with a good mix

[@brian1749]

That thing sounds so freaking good!!!

[@TheBeardofDOOM]

I love this thing. I love passive setups.

[@MartinPeterWhitney]

I love the sound it makes!

[@WattchomanBrandySavage]

I'm 100% on the Dingwall bass train BUT a Gibson Thunderbird has a unique/iconic tone to it. this D-Roc sounds better and is more versatile (in my opinion) but I wouldn't be able to tell it was a D-Roc just based on tones.

[@RubenTooth]

Well, this is the bass of my life. I FUCKING NEED IT.

[@williampeckham9838]

Sick review man. awesome bass

[@thumper303]

honestly i like the Dingwall design better than the Gibson 😳

[@litos_mendes]

instant like for the mastodon shirt .... crack the skye yeeeeessss

[@ericwilson8848]

Beautiful I d like to see a z2 or 3 video

[@samuelviden7412]

Pickups are actually not the same as on the NG models. These are FDV:s. You can literally see the FDV designation in the panning shot. ;)

[@billytscherne4643]

Patrick has such light touch on those strings .

[@Daphoid]

You sold me. I’m not as huge on the gold but went looking and saw a grey black metallic then I saw the blue purple. Oh my. Need this. Edit. I was looking at the standard but still. Dang!

[@visog]

Good heavens that sounds good!

[@darkshadowlord321]

So I just sold my first bass recently and I'm looking at buying my second now. (My first bass was an Ibanez gio 5 string, loved the feel of it, but wasn't feeling the sound). I'm not getting something more expensive, I'm just replacing it. I'm trying ti make up my mind between two basses off of thonman. Thought maybe I could throw out a comment here and get some opinions between The Harley Benton JB-75 series, and their PB-50 series.

[@nolanwitty4329]

Its really just a matter of what sound you like. Out of the two the jazz bass would be more versatile and likely more comfortable neck wise, while the the precision bass will have a much for classic tone. I love the look of the PB thought, vintage classic.

[@darkshadowlord321]

@@nolanwitty4329 I love the look of both bases, kinda like the PB better visually cause it's classic but not common, and I think it would have an awesome tone for rock and stuff with some distortion it, but I think I outta go with the versatility since the basslines I've learned range from twentyonepilots to Slipknot

[@erikarko]

OH DEAR LORD YES!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dominicadler-biddle9199]

for someone who doesnt like thunderbirds, this is surprising to watch

[@DavidRamos-nz4bh]

Great job dude!

[@jasonfung8084]

This bass man!! Oh my!

[@boojoo1234]

How is the upper fret access while standing wearing a strap? Does the strap get in the way much of the thumb ?

[@ravendemo4980]

Dingwalls sound like they were made for metal. It's got an awsome growly tone.

[@ИльяКузнецов-б9м]

Cool bass Cool t-shirt Cool Patrick

[@trance9158]

Love this beast!!

[@BigMuff75]

Pretty dope. Could you at some point make a video about your favourite bands or albums?

[@danielsanders7001]

Patrick you should demo the Balaguer Hyperion or Goliath. I haven’t seen any demos for Balaguer Basses.

[@gustavopalmaalvarado7353]

So punk and punch, good video

[@sefton1972]

The Dingwall Clank.

[@KoffyGG]

Fretboard looking a bit funky there brosky! May I recommend Gerlitz Guitar Honey !

[@bassistwithadeathwish7277]

I like that slightly distorted sound, not so hot on that heavy overdrive though, sounds a bit too thumpy

[@mrjmcrowson]

Want one! 😮

[@davidgoode7416]

Awesome!

[@tomrobinson4781]

Aye! Lovely

[@boojoo1234]

Pickups are fdv not fd3n 3:25

[@gabri43375]

why it seems that the pick guard is not well attached?

[@neckdotjpeg]

Patrick, you gotta try one of the new Gibson LPJR basses. they're great.

[@bassface8580]

I dont like Thunderbirds but.... holy crap. This thing is amazing looking and sounding. If only I had the money haha

[@itaccen]

hi Patrick, how does 36,5 scale lenght feel, do you really have to strecth your arm to reach F on E string

[@jfeelix91]

Wow in love rn it looks sexy in gold But do they have 4 string ones? Would also love to see the different other colors they might have

[@cedricktak]

She look and sound really good ! I need one ! XD

[@travatron4000]

I'd love one in the Bassboat metalflake aquamarine. I'd get the 4 string and string it BEAD

[@skineniks]

So, any chance you'll cover the d-roc standard? they seem like a good deal but there's hardly any demos of them out there

[@mitchfindergeneral]

People out here calling this UGLY? I hate y'all! This is one of my favorite basses!

[@mcleary9615]

I think a purple one would be rad

[@destroyer28100]

I think they did a few purple dbirds and they looked very nice

[@Facu_Roldan]

This bass that Patrick demoed is the d roc custom. They also have the d roc standard series, those basses come in 4 different finishes, one of which is matte blue to purple colorshift. You should check it out, it looks sick!

[@mcleary9615]

SO MUCH WANT

[@ironrangerw6r1]

Have you checked out the offerings from Wolf. They're amazing and affordable basses that you would think would be costing alot more

[@worstghosthunting3466]

Damn Dingwall, give this man a signature

[@willistaylor4077]

Patrick, What is the deal with fan fretting? Are the notes supposed to be more in tune when played? Thanks, Will.

[@AlphaDude95]

It's not really a tuning thing, it's different scale lengths for each string which makes the tension even across all the strings

[@johnmoser2689]

Only thing I'm not crazy about is where the strap hooks at the neck heal

[@johnniecameron8829]

Its cool

[@marechaltrappedracoon3984]

Nice fast forward dude

[@davidchittenden6505]

Finally a good bass review where the bass is presented in it's "normal" range. I get so so so so tired of bass reviews that only involve upper register noodling/chords/slapping!!!!!!. Gahhh! Thank you sooooo much for this!

[@Charlesbakowski]

When you hit that B on a dingwall... 🤯🤯🤯

[@timz3146]

Make a cover of From The Pinnacle To The Pit by Ghost. I want to hear your massive tone in this cover. Pleaaaseee

[@hugopalomares146]

85% close to buying one

[@legoobi-wankenobi3080]

That's hot.

[@sambaker14]

Wish I could afford a dingwall but I'm gonna get a much cheaper fan fret bass and put the dingwall pickups in it

[@johnnyfreeman1018]

How much is this bass?

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

do you have any tips on avoiding the pick sound while playing? I always get the nasty scratchy sound added to the sound of string while playing with a pick.

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

@Toxic Potato I tried but it`s still there, just a bit less

[@stevemcwiggins5958]

Romulan Spy Try these www.purpleplectrums.com/. Some are crazy huge but once you start using some of the 6-9MM Mid Tech versions it’s hard to go back. These still have an attack but I find it smoother.

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

@@stevemcwiggins5958 cool thanks!

[@MantusRietBaalberith]

I don't even know where to get one of these

[@mtitay]

HELLA SHIRT srs nice shirt dude

[@deeliriyum]

I always laugh at ppl who claim that neodymium magnets would cause sustain problems. Well this thing has 15 (FIFTEEN!!!) individual neo mags and I've never heard of anyone complaining about Dingwall having sustain problems. Just listen to those babies roar! That's the sound of basically 3 precision pickups working in tandem!

[@57precision]

Sorry but here comes the well actually....Patrick misspoke, the D Roc custom has 3x FDV, which are Alnico V. The import model has the neodymium FD3N. But I agree with you, nobody ever says a Combusion or NG has sustain problems.

[@Kubosos87]

4:15 Hoooolyyyy.....

[@ltgrulz]

demo the Jericho alpha basses

[@joemills4663]

pronounced 'when-gay' seriously. nice review, didnt know if u mentioned if its neck thru or string thru body dude.

It matches your Homer buddha perfectly 👌 🎸 🌞 💯 💛 🧘‍♂️

[@nicolasbrunelle2189]

Nice shirt...got the same 🤷‍♂️🤫

[@bossenelke8312]

Ever thought about joining a metal band?

[@Zekla]

I have a hard time believing that has no neck dive. The only thing that could have achieved that would be if the body was insanely heavy, and you said it was light...

[@57precision]

The sneaky trick no one tells you is that the bass has its upper strap pin right behind the neck heel, and requires Dunlop straplocks to work. It's an awesome bass, but I wonder if having your strap there impedes upper fret access.

[@DiamondLifer]

New one for the ugly basses series?

[@patrickhunter]

lmao hell no

[@dangermoose666]

How about All Dingwal basses? Never liked their body design. Headstock is hella ugly too.

[@haatock]

Désolé mais ça n'a rien à voir avec une Thunderbird upgradée. La Dingwall Super P elle est une version upgradée qui a la tonalité de Precision originelle.
