I owned several Kiesel basses(and my current guitar)and they were all very well built and sounded and played well. Thanks, Nate! Kiesel/Carvin has always made decent stuff but, honestly, after they split, the creativity and the QC went thru the roof! Folks may not like all of Jeff Kiesel's designs, but he's coming up with plenty of new ideas. One question I wanted to ask, the strings on the 6er feel like a lighter gauge than what was on my 5er, is that a thing, or am I just imagining that?
That Kiesel "P" pickup is legit! Plus the customization options they offer are just insane! I just wish Sheldon would offer Pale Moon Ebony as a fretboard wood option, LOL! Kiesel is damn fine in my book.īack in Dingwall land, I did spend part of our first set playing the 6er! Unfortunately, it needed a neck adjustment, so I couldn't play it for more than a couple of songs, but I was pleasantly surprised at how not impossible it was to play! I need to make friends with the neck width, but I was able to play at gigging level for the few songs I used it on! Plus it made going back to the 5er seem really easy. it's lovely.Ĭlick to expand.Thanks, Nate!

Folks may not like all of Jeff Kiesel's designs, but he's coming up with plenty of new ideas. So nice to have a Dingwall in my hands again. In short, I learned a LOT about myself, and saved $800 to boot! (Which I will, of course, turn around and buy more equipment with.) I even was happier with the string spacing on the 4-string over the 5! the four position switch gives such a broad range of useful tones, and the tone knob is actually effective at shaping tone, rather than just cutting highs or lows. I was totally surprised by the expanse of the tone shaping capabilities on the D-Roc. it had the whizzy electronics, and That B String, and and and. The D-Roc was only a 4-string, and I wanted the 5-string, so I knew going in that I was going to get the NG3. I decided to A/B test the passive electronics of the D-Roc with the active NG3 electronics. They had two of those in stock (one white, one blue), and a D-Roc in aqua metalflake. I had decided to go in to The Bass Shop in Seattle and buy their NG3 5-string in whalepool blue. No, I didn't find my old AB-II (I did put up a Bass Wanted ad for it, though).
