    Interesting, before I added a Z to accompany my SJ5, I was most concerned about string spacing as well as it was a big issue for me in the past (Warwick/Spector combo). Biggest challenge has actually been the scale length difference when switching back and forth with my Z3 and SJ5. That said...

    I own one of the Z3's in Black Limba, and the only other example I have seen is the D-Roc from Namm. Loving mine for the record!

    I was told approx 18-24 months when I ordered - in August 2020. Was never really provided a specific build date

    Speaking of Speedo Bars - received my Z3 last week, and suffice it to say, I'm over the moon. Not for those who prefer bright color finishes vs. boring wood ;)

    That's where I am now on my Z3 - been just over 18 months for me since I wanted to support a local shop vs. buy a slot on someone else's build queue. So. Much. Anticipation.

    Ditto on my Bergantino rig - I've never played through anything as compact, light, powerful, and transparent!

    Ditto here, multiple W's in my stable with Ovangkol and no issues.

    Um...anyone else watch this vid? Look at the last one, it's "half" emphasized with the camera... Seems like a new body shape to me!

    Great point, that's exactly what I have on my Warwick Corvette, and SJ5, and will be the neck on my new bass as well. Thank you everyone for your input - this will be the only time in my life that I do this so go big or go home...Z3 will be the bass of choice.

    Thanks for the prompt reply - and understood re. the electronics. I have the Glock in my SJ and was going to proceed with that again regardless of which Dingwall I go forward with - it's wonderfully transparent, which is what I like. So in summary, tone = not a huge differentiator given other...

    Folks, I'm in a wonderful position where I have to choose between an ABZ/II and a Z (my preferences). I currently have a beautiful SJ5 3x w/FD3s, which I love, but I want to round out my Dingwall stable with a 37" B. I do a fair amount of home recording and gig about 6 times a year - lot's of...
