[quote="blong":2xbcxfsc]hi, i've been looking at a sadowsky for a long time. I'm a little concerned about dingwall because I play hard and like low action so I use bigger gauge strings.Any input from anybody would help
thanks[/quote:2xbcxfsc]
I don't know if this will help or not, but before I became a Dingwall convert I too played very aggresively. I preferred the largest gage strings I could find, which coupled with my heavy playing style more times than not required a higher action. It took me some time to unlearn some bad technique and play on the lighter gage strings that came on my Dingwall, but IME it was well worth it. I can still "dig in" when needed, and get rewarded with a substantial growl, but these days I tend not to "overplay" if that makes sense.
Again, I don't know if that's any use to you at all, but that was my experience. Another great quality about a Dingwall is if you try it and it's not what you want, somebody is always standing in line to take it off your hands! Usually someone who already owns a Dingwall, they seem to be addictive.
Where do you live? Most everyone on the board here is more than happy to let a newcomer try a Dingwall. If you live anywhere near Washington DC, PM me, there will be a talkbass GTG in that area on the 19th, there will be several Dingwaller's in attendance.
