Bass Tone Secrets w/Sheldon Dingwall (Can YOU tell the difference?)
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…

Is this also the case with separate volume knobs?
is all the way clockwise the bridge pickup?
Really hope one day I can get one of these basses. ????????
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.
Check out what Aria from Freeze The Fall is doing with her Dingwall Combustion!

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 love Dingwall basses, but being a short-arse, the scale length is really unwieldy…unfortunately.????
So when it's red, it's playing or it's cut?
love the tone selector on my D-roc 5 string 🙂
You just can't beat these basses. I genuinely feel like there is something wrong with anyone that doesn't understand the hype
Its a shame ng3 cant do the all-three pickup selection.. ://
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 ????
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.
there's a slight difference in tune between 1st and the second player lol
Best invention ever
Weird, the pickups are so close to each other, and yet very pronounced tone changes.

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.
Can you describe the setup line for the NG5? Is it straight into the desk?
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.
sigh….someday……
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
????????????
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.
Are the bridge and middle pickups in series or parallel in the NG3?
Dingwall axes are indeed versatile ones, try any freaking genre out there and you'll be surprised. ????
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.
The clarity and coherence are just insane on these
