I can't see the ground route. Did it cover mounting to the stock screw holes?
Hey there, did you play the bass with the individual string saddles before swapping them out for the Payson bridge? Any impressions on how that changed the sound, if at all? Thanks! Considering doing this too for a Combustion 5 3
I covered the opening with the bridge, used the rear-most original screw holes for alignment purposes, and drilled new holes. When adjusting intonation on the E & A strings, I 'ran out of travel' - they are very slightly sharp. I don't play high up on the neck, so I'm good.
When I feel like 'fiddling' with it, I'll need to grind those screws down a bit...Update: Instead of grinding, I clipped the screw(s) with side-cutters and smoothed the ends with emery cloth.

Is that because Dingwall owners are all number one; or are all batting 1000?
That is a killer pickup. It would have to be customized to make the poles align with the strings, but Nordstrand is all about custom.

Seems like it would be pretty thunderous, combining the Dingwall P pickups with the Bigman, right?!
Just in case you change your mind, it's this one:Thanks! I'll probably just let the switch bat color-coordinate with the strings.

I have a set of Big Splits and they line up quite nicely...
Not sure exactly how your bass is set for space but you'd definitely have to rout for the Big Man p/u...

That's the best pic I've seen of your beast! The Big Splits are awesome too. I have one @ the bridge of my SJ/P4 (hidden under a Dingwall shell), so I have an inkling of just how good yours sounds.

That’s gonna be a challenge (bm on a Dingwall) but yes contact the shop and we might be able figure it out!
I’ve be doing quite a few Dingwall mods in the last few years, always fun the challenge!

Hi Mo, thanks for the reply. I actually have been emailing back and forth w/ Adrian on adding a FDV to the bridge, but thought I’d ask him about this too.
