Oh boy, I haven't tuned this low on video for ages! I'm really happy to see how well my Dingwall held it together even with standard strings 😍 Let me know if you'd like to hear more low-tuned songs and subscribe to be notified when those come out! 💪
Fucking insane tone and performance 👏🏻 I feel that F# is the lowest tuning for bass where the perceived fundamental note can still be heard and felt with good eqing/ compression and saturation. Anything lower yields diminishing returns imo. Anyway your dingy dished it out so nicely. Hope to own one some day, they literally all sound so good.
Dude my band is playing in drop f sharp and I'm having such a hard time finding good tone. What are you using for effects and EQ here if you dont mind me asking? Are you playing out of daw or a cab here? Awesome vid
@metalcamedy21 These tones were made with my pedalboard, I have another video where I go through everything on the board! Basically it's the Darkglass B7K and precise pre-EQing before hitting the distortion stage
@@kledsonmeireles ele usou um Dingwall(um baixo perfeito pra tocar metal, por ser multiscale e de 5 cordas ele aguenta afinações mais graves sem perder muita clareza), as cordas ficaram um pouco soltas, pra dar um som mais "percurssivo" pro baixo, dando aquele estalo e por fim jogou bastante distorção(além da equalizaçao da mix, obviamente). Mas caso vc não tenha um dingwall, oq é provável pra nós brasileiros, te indico dropar o baixo até mais ou menos drop C, se você tiver um baixo de 5 cordas, até drop A e usar um Pitch Shifter pra alcançar a afinação.
F'in A, man.... Good Lord that Dingwall is a BEAST with the DG clone pedal. Fantastic playthrough! I will own a Dingwall 1 day. For now, I'll have to keep on rocking my EHB-1505MS.
More 🔥🔥🔥 my guy. You're making it really hard for me to not want to add a D-Roc to the fleet with all these vids. I just bought a Warwick Corvette last month, so I feel like I need to chill before I pick up another bass haha
Dang a 130 gauge working out in F# is incredible. I think im using a 135 for G# but youre inspiring me to try a little lower. Excellent playing!!! Isnane tone too
Hahah I used to use the same strings in D#0 as well 😂 It was a tad too floppy though, so I've now got a .155 custom set for those tunings and F# too when needed. This Dingwall really lets me get away with a lot!
@Paajanenae dude I think that extra neck length on the low end is the secret. Watching Nolly play in A on a 4 string was enough to convince me lol. That's so sick about the thicker gauge. I really wanna try one now. Beautiful color you have too! Edit: holy shit double D on a bass is insane lmao
@@J1Nflo I don't think it's just the extra length, their instruments just sing like no other bass I've ever tried 😄If you want a sample of that low D# tuning, just check out my take on Indistinct - Heart Prince
Thanks for responding to my last comment about the fret buzz thing. I have one more question. With everything you said that you do (keeping the neck straight, raising action, etc) do you think you could tune as low as drop E and get that same clean results using the standard strings?
I know I’m a little late but most bands that tune that low (loathe for example) actually just keep their basses in standard tuning. So the bass and the guitar are tuned the same
Do you get a lot of fret buzz when tuned that low? I’m modifying my D-roc to fit .150 gauge to (hopefully) play in drop F and E. Hoping that I don’t have to go any thicker
Not really! I always make sure to setup the neck almost straight with a bit of relief and then raise the action until I get rid of frets choking the sustain. Since the strings are so loose, having a higher action doesn't make them any worse to play.
Yeah I stack both! The PD7 cleans up the Pork&Pickle and the Pork&Pickle has limited headroom so it squeezes the signal and introduces a nice mid-centric overdrive 👍
If the bass was a Dingwall NG2 model does it still need the extra clarity with PD7 for pre gain after P&P ? Actually I have an active bartolini Mk6C dual soapbars stacked with a bartolini NTMB 3 band eq with mid freq boost switch. Does it have the same response to the tone If I boost high mids with frequency and set mid&trebs *3 o clock from the guitar's PA to balance the P&P to get this specific kind of tone or PD7 kinda pedal is a must for both active and passive guitar with this kind of effect chain? I dig your kind of vibe to the genre and as a fan, I would like to learn those teachings very much like a padawan . Sorry to bother 😅
@@yalngucgoturen7413 Everything I've used benefits from having the PD7 in chain. A boost at 3kHz will give you some of the benefits it has to the tone.
Not really, no. But since my tone is largely based on the Darkglass B7K and usually a 410 or a 810 cabinet sim, something like those should work fine. Don't worry about the low tuning, it's not really going to make a big difference
Hey brother so I just ordered a Droc 5 and I’m curious would I have to modify it to be able to play in drop E and F tunings? I imagine I would need thicker strings than what they come with. Thanks
I played this with the same strings the bass comes from the factory 🤝 but your mileage may vary. If you want to use thicker strings, you'll need to file the nut to accomodate those

Man for being so low, the articulation and tone is super crisp. Ding wall baby
Ding wall 🙏
That tone. 🤯
Soundi velehu hommisa!
That right hand is CRISP. Love it!
dude... how does this sound so good?!?!
🤓🤓 Tone nerdery! Dingwall + loose strings + push that 3k into your distortion stage
@@Paajanenaethat 3k distortion is the ticket 👌
Sensacional. Que timbre magnifico. Como você deixa o bass com esse efeito?

the way you nail it everytime , being fast af with these covers, and have one of the best tones. Once again, great job!
Thank you so much! I've managed to build a good routine that helps me put out covers that look and sound right relatively easily 🫶💜
Beautiful bass and badass playing‼
Thank you! 💜

30 seconds in and yeah, you def got this covered.
Saving my pennies for a d-roc. Sounds so good. But your playing is brilliant.
They're worth every penny!
I just love that tone and the growl!
Excellent job that was Awesome 🤘🔥.
Bro your picking attack is lethal ! Sick cover 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!! I actually had to tame it a ton since the strings are so loose 😂
Yeah I can tell they are a bit floppy, are you using .45-.127?
@@philzo 45-130, the standard Dingwall nickel wound set!
@@Paajanenae good thing that dingwall is 37 inches seems to hold F# pretty good
@@philzo Yeah it does! I've actually tuned even lower with my Charvel, check out my Atlas - Uhri video from a few years back!
Thanks so much for the tabs!! I subscribed!
True tone brah!
Proof that looser strings do sound better 😂 just come from your schism cover, you're absolutely amazing dude, new sub, keep it up!
Sick sound dude
Love the tone

Incredible tone as always 👏
I bet the song "Kill or be Killed" by Muse would sound sick in one of those basses.
this is really good :)
well done mate! that tone! 🤩
Thank you 🥰
insane bro
Ihanan värinen tuo dingwall 🤩
Kiitos! Se on kyllä mukava

darn bro keep it up..love from india
Thanks, love back from Finland! 💜
If you don't mind for asking, what string gauge do you use for your lowest string? Will a gauge 140 be sufficient? Thank you! Love your tone man!
I use the standard 45 - 130 set but your mileage may vary ✌️ Thanks!

May I ask, since when do D-roc standards have inlay blocks like this? Are they like vinyl stickers or something? Looks and sounds FIRE
Since I put stickers on them 😛 Neck Illusions makes inlay stickers for Dingwalls and they're pretty cheap as well
@@Paajanenae that is awesome! Thanks for letting me know.
Hey do you have any recommendations for which bass amp head/cabinets can sound great in Drop F# on a live setting?

Whats the exact model? I cant find this one with the square inlays
Those are stickers from the company Neck Illusion
Vety tight and solid. If you would have to choose only one bass guitar for rest of your life, what it would be???
Thank you! In all honesty I think it must be this bass :) I've been playing it a lot lately and it's delivered every time
whats the gauge you used for this tuning?
45-130 🤝
What strings and gauges are you using please?
The standard Dingwall 45-130 Nickel Wound set
What kind of pick are you using?
Ultex Standard .88mm
Is it a B3k clone ? ^^ Sound tight.
Yeah the Picatrix is a B3K clone! 👌 It's the Guma_Drive DIY-kit from Musikding
More like Skrrrtbox cuz damn
Is it f#0 23 hz?
Yeah

What is that bass?
It's a Dingwall D-Roc!

Low-end's pretty muddy. Could use some paring down.
I clicked on this thinking it was Ricky Gervais playing bass. Quickly clicked off.
