Yeah I've been curious about Dingwall... They have extremely long scale 37 inch B strings. You have to buy special strings for it.

I would love to get some comparisons between the tone of that vs the tone of a 34 or 35 B strings. I want to know how much of a difference it makes.

Beautiful.

To mess around with, definitely. But I don't plan to practice enough to play with good intonation 😂

Definitely want the drums to be there first. I think the bass player follows the drummer much more than the other way around. Frankly a lot of drummers don't really follow anyone - everyone else has no choice but to follow them, time-wise. Dave Matthews once said that Carter Beauford was the "Captain of the ship."

We bass players only strike notes with one appendage, whereas the drummer is using 3 or 4 different appendages, so it's easier for us to make minor time adjustments very quickly. The drummer is kind of time-juggling: throwing different limbs in various directions and pre-timing the desired result. But we bass players can focus on exactly when we move one or two fingers.
