You display wall is beautiful. The basses aren't too bad either.

I got to talk bass with Barry again yesterday - alway fun and informative! I didn't realize that he also reps for Euphonic Audio and Liquid Metal Guitars. The upshot is that I'm in line to get another Super J built. After playing the new J/P fiver, I decided to liquidate more nice parallel fretted basses to fund a five-string J/J. Going rear-routed again with a two-tone 'burst over ash with matching head stock. The wait begins again.

Hey Ken, Im in line with you...

Just placed my order for a Super P5!

I have a 5 month wait ahead of me - it's not arriving until March...

I'm assuming that my ABZ5 is likely going up for sale in the near future...

oh man-you are in for a treat

Hey Joebar,
I've seen your SuperP on the forums - and Wow! I'm also getting a standard, so I'm often looking at those pics as a representation of the bass model.

Thanks for the great photos and thanks for making my wait a little bit more difficult.

[fretno]

In !

the pic from Bass NW , she arrived last night and plays like a dream and sounds amazing . She is a very early 2001 AB-1 4 banger , clocks in at under 8 lbs. and is darn near minty . \m/ # please

Agreed, mine's just been killing it at rehearsal. We were writing a new song last night and I decided to drop a low D with some distortion and it was deadly sounding.

I assume it's due to demand, but the Super P's are taking a month longer compared to the J's, but it will most definitely be worth your wait. I enjoyed playing an AB-1 for five years before liquidating it to fund a J/P-five. I've found it to be a better 'fit' for me in more than one aspect. I prefer the shorter scales, 19mm string spacing, and the overall tonal pallette. Sheldon and one of his crew members who is 'precision obsessed' put a whole lot of work into developing and fine-tuning the four and five-string precision pickups. They are stellar. I pondered trying a Super P this go-around, but as I already have four and five-string J/P's that are so close sonically, decided to go J/J. My best advice - enjoy the ABZ and try not to even think about goings-on at the Dingwall shop. Sorry to bring it back to mind already, but what are the specifications?

I feel a bit more agile on my standard scale basses, so the shorter Dingwall scale might be the best of both worlds. I also have some high expectations for the tones and the tone-fusion circuit.

I was hoping you would ask about the specs

- Super P5 Standard
- Chrome Blue (Upcharge for the chrome color) - I think I got lucky since it's not on the official list of colors. Dingwall was awesome at accommodating my request for the perfect color.
- W/B/W Pickguard
- Pau Ferro Fretboard
- Passive

I was on the fence for Maple vs. Pau Ferro board... both would look excellent, I'm hoping the Pau Ferro will bring a bit more warmth to the tone.

I finally defined some of my favorite bass characteristics:
Build Quality: Dingwall
Necks: Dingwall
Tone: Precision
Color: Lake Placid Blue (and similar)

And threw them all together into one expensive package - hoping that this might be a possibility for a "lone-bass" lifestyle.

Pictures should be up before the end of March

Do you have any pictures of it?! Are they in this thread?
