Dingwall ABII

Posted in Gear, Products, Rantings with tags , , on November 24, 2009 by reddotmusic

JP dropped by over the weekend to try out the EA amps, so I finally had a chance to have a go at the Dingwall ABII that I sold him awhile back. I’m now afraid that I might never look at “standard” parallel fret basses the same way again….

The fit and finish on this bass is way up there with all the best that I know, but one thing that blew me away completely is the playability of this beast.  The extremely comfortable neck profile + impeccable setup, combined with the organic ergonomics of the fanned fret system made it so easy that even though it was my first time playing a fanned fret bass (let alone 6′er), within 2 minutes, I was playing it as though it was a bass that I’ve practiced on for the past few years!

If you’ve shied away from fanned frets because you think they’re unnatural to play on, I will gladly arrange for a session for you to try out a Dingwall.  But be careful, you might never want to go back!

Anyways, I also took the opportunity to take some proper photos of the bass.  Here it is for your viewing pleasure :)

Isn’t the bubinga top + walnut back and neck just gorgeous??

As always, if you’d like to order one of these amazing basses, drop me a mail at cherns [at] rdmgear.com and I’ll work out something for you.

EA Amplifiers – arriving Oct!

EA Amps are coming to town!  Here’s what I have scheduled in my first shipment

the NEW iAmp Doubler – Meeting the needs of the upright and doubling player, the EA Doubler combines the best features of the Micro with specific features for the upright player. With the help of Mike Arnopol (Patricia Barber). The doubler features phantom power, a variable notch filter and a variable phase. The 2kg, 550 watt, dual channel, Class D, US made musical instrument amplifier is the part of the next wave of EA’s small, powerful amps that set the standard for sound, size, and power. The Doubler shares, with the new Micro, a new, innovative switching power supply and an elegant and pristine preamp to create possibly the lightest, most powerful and versatile musical instrument amplifier for the upright player and doubler.

the NEW iAmp Micro – The US made, EA Micro is a revolutionary, under 1.5kg, 550 watt, dual channel, Class D, musical instrument amplifier.  This next generation Micro combines a new, innovative switching power supply and an elegant and pristine preamp to create possibly the lightest, most powerful musical instrument amplifier on the market today!

the Wizzy 10 – Light (less than 8kg!), portable and LOUD.  The perfect size for personal practice, and will still hold its own at band practice against a full band + drummer.  I guarantee.

the Wizzy Mline 12 – “Old school”, vintage flip top sound for the new millennium.  Pair this up with the Wizzy 10 (or NL210!) and you’ll have a match made in heaven!

If you’d like to be one of the first to try out these exceptional amps and cabs, drop me an email at cherns [at] rdmgear.com – I’d be happy to arrange for an audition timing for you :)
