Kiesel has done a ton of innovating themselves and been copied. It means just that for every builder! Don't get hung up on some other company copying. So everyone copies everyone essentially. When it comes to anything, the early bird gets the worm and typically going to always have a larger...

One thing I would add is that Dingwall really isn't a true custom shop. I consider a true custom shop being one that doesn't outsource any part of their builds which Dingwall does for their production models like the NG-3. They are built in Indonesia or something and shipped to them for final...

Well apparently he's now expanding his shop by 750sf and going to also be teaching people on some luthier-esque skills in part of the newly expanded shop. I'm very confused where he would find the time to teach anyone anything since he still owes a sh*t ton of you basses! I'd think he would be...

Sorry, and just to clarify... the only two 4 string rainbow basses which is what Darrin told me. However, doesn't really matter for those here who paid 2 decades ago. Just out of curiosity, who here (that is owed a bass) has attempted to contact him through social media? Did he block you? Or...

These were the ones in question earlier. I got both from private sales off Ebay. The only two rainbow basses he had ever made.

Yes and I still have both of them.

@Kristjankisi I'm glad you finally got your bass. @Clark W Nope never heard about it. @charlie monroe Sure and that is understandable. At this point, I really have nothing else to add. I actually know someone who is doing this very thing to customers right now in a different industry. However...

Well fair enough. I’m fully aware of how long it’s been for those waiting as I’ve read the forum messages. Again, I really have no skin in the game other than I own two of his basses I did not purchase from him. And that I spoke with him directly out of curiosity of the issue. I was merely...

Wow... just wow! You guys are something else. It's actually hilarious all the assumptions people have made about me. But I expect nothing less from people on the internet these days. So here it is... I have perused talkbass.com since 2016 and mainly because of this topic (courtesy of Google). I...

Darrin has been working on people's orders from what I've seen. Unlike many other people before him who've taken on more than what they could handle and spent the money... they would just fall off the face of the earth never to be heard from again. He hasn't done that and made things right for a...

That's browser cookies for you. Funny thing is, that is the bass that just got delivered to me today! Really wish Darrin would get his stuff together. Upon examining the craftsmanship of this one, he knows his stuff. It would rival any Carl Thompson bass. It's crazy how someone that talented...

It is the rainbow bass and this listing in particular Bass guitar which I believe he built some time ago. I figured $1500 shipped was a great deal considering how much time goes into creating a rainbow style bass. I've been wanting a Carl Thompson inspired bass since I'm not rich enough to...

I just recently bought a bass Darrin made from someone on Ebay. Looking at the quality, I am very excited to receive the bass. The work he's done obviously gave him a reputation of a quality builder in the beginning. However, today, I stumbled across this forum and am incredibly shocked! Hope he...
