    I felt the same way, I have been looking for a Canadian one too since I tried the AB1. To be honest, today’s NG3 was close. Probably the best NG3 I tried in the past 2/3 years. What are your Super J specs?

    The AB-2 looks amazing, I bet it sounds awesome too. I really liked to AB1 I tried a few weeks ago. Can’t imagine an AB2…..

    I want to buy another Dingwall but this time it will be a 5. Today I tried a Ng3 and a KK2. I liked both but I had a little preference for the NG3. I want your opinions! If you were looking for another Dingwall 5 bass which Dingwall 5 would you buy? NG3, KK2, SP-1, Amos 5, Sol 5 or any other?

    My Dingwall John Taylor paired with a Darkglass Microtubes 500 V2 and an Ampeg 1x15 cab can sound extremely mid-heavy. For those of you using a Dingwall with a Darkglass head, what EQ settings or tips have worked for you? I love how well it cuts through the mix, but the overall tone is much...

    Has anyone here upgraded their SP1 with Canadian-made Dingwall pickups? I'd love to hear your thoughts and impressions.

    I’m pretty sure that once they’ve traced a template, they don’t just throw it away — they probably keep it so they can reuse it for future orders.

    Has anyone here had the chance to compare La Bella flatwound strings and Payson flatwound strings, both in multiscale format? I’d be curious to hear your opinion on these two string options.

    Just got this lovely John Taylor bass from Musique Dépot in Canada. Great people, great service. I highly recommend them. What a great bass — I absolutely love it! The pickguard is heading to Greasy Groove on Monday. I’m getting a custom translucent pickguard made for this one. I never thought...

    They definitely look better without the pickguard

    To those who own a John Taylor bass: do the color lines continue underneath the pickguard? I have a Primrose 4-string on the way, and AI helped me visualize what it would look like with a transparent pickguard.

    I do have color preferences. 1 Montezuma Brown. 2 midnight blue 3 jetglo 4 fireglo I have a Little something for the 4003ws but its matte, if it was glossy, it would probably be my no. 1 choice.

    thank you, I only wanted to go with the 4003s because I tought that it was the only model with the newest type of truss rod.

    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    I am just coming back from the dealer. There isn’t much wait, 4-6 months based on the color. I am waiting for them to call Rickenbacker if there is a special run (color) available soon or in near future. The dealer could not tell me the trussrod difference in between the 4003 and 4003s. The...

    One last question. Here they now only available in 3 colors? That is all I could find on Rickenbacker and L&M’s website.

    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    Last week, I tried a 2023 4003 bass. It was amazing. I have 2 questions, would you order one without trying it first? Is the 4003s that more confortable? I really enjoy the look of the 4003 but comfort is important thanks, I was mostly curious about the binding. I really prefer the look of the...

    Sorry to interrupt the Effigy discussion. Quick question for SP1’s owners. I adore my SP1. If there was only one thing I’d like, it’s a bit more tone clarity. Anyone here have install Canadian pickups in their SP1? Or do you think It would bring that little extra clarity I have looking for?

    Neutral fret on a multiscale fretboard!

    I sold my Ng3, and bought an SP1 4 string. My goal is to build a modern looking medium scale multiscale bass because dingwall doesn’t make any. I assembled many instruments in my life but never build one. I am starting Wood working classes next week, and have acquired many wood working tools. I...

    I have not much experience with multiscale and definitely less with building basses, that is why I am asking knowledgeable people for their opinion.

    Neutral fret on a multiscale fretboard!

    Wow, thank you for all of that information, I totally understand the neutral fret reasoning now. May I ask for your opinion now. I really enjoy my Dingwall because of its clearer tone (i have bad hearing) and string tension feel. Unfortunately, because of wrist discomfort. I moved from...

    Neutral fret on a multiscale fretboard!

    I am about to draw a multiscale fretboard. I think I have decided on the different scale lenghts that I’ll use. Now that I play a Dingwall, I noticed that there is a neutral fret. I thought that it would make Sense to use the 12th fret as the neutral one, but every multiscale basses company...

    I like my SP-1 so much, I feel like buying another one and modify it with 3 pickups. BTW, I am sending my SP-1 4 string’s pickguard to Greasy Groove in Canada. They’ll soon have a template if you want to order a custom pickguard.

    IMHO they have the best 4 string necks period. In 25 years of playing, I haven’t tried anything as confortable or as fast as a 4 string Dingwall neck.
