    Me, Myself and a Dingwall Combustion Bass! - My kind of Demo

    NO FAIR!! EVERY time I think I can overcome my lustful covetessness of these basses, someone from the F.O.D (Fraternity of Dingwall) makes me DROOL for one all the worse! LOL Played one at Bass NW in Seattle a coupla years back, and will stick with a 4-string 'til I can get a "Buster", as I've...
