Just plain alder? It looks like it's burled, or quilted, or something.
It does look very different from different angles. It's beautiful.

You should really change the LEDs in the dog's eyes to a softer colour. That kind of thing is blinding on a dark stage.
I know!!! And that’s on a low setting. Set any higher and she shoots fricken lazer beams out of her fricken eyes!!!
Sorry. The body is alder and the top is caphor burl with a wenge contrast. I just wanted to show you the contrast. Assuming our body will be ash. The alder is more yellow in comparison to ash.

Totally off topic, but we briefly touched on this the other day, and I thought y'all might like to see my "other" multi-scale instruments

Yes, the body will be ash/ash. I don't care so much about the grain/coloration of that but I expect it will all be red when it's done.
You've reminded me that I really wanted a Z1 but was convinced to upgrade because Z3 holds more resale value. Not that I plan to sell it. I don't like the idea of routing out the topwood for a pickup I don't want.

Indeed. I agree. Being a jazz bass and buying it to Be a jazz I opted for the traditional pick up option. It isn’t a “theone” be everything bass.
I feel 3 pick ups on a Z only make sense also.

Super cool. Very nice
The first photo looks like it's red tinted. Is it?
The contract layer does look nice. I ordered without, might add it!

The Dbird has arrived! Thank you @bebass for the outstanding customer service all along the way. Guys, call Michael if you are thinking about a Dingwall. I can't recommend him enough.

In the interest of fiscal responsibility (or should I say, "my credit card balance is what?!?!?!?!) after buying both the Dbird and some other new gear, my NG-2 4 string is in the classifieds if you are interested. LINK

Ha, my pool needs a bunch if work like replastering. The Dingwall is perfect as is!
Nice! I seem to recall you have or had a Lull Bird. Obviously there are fretboard and pickup configuration differences. Any thoughts on how they compare?
I was taking photos of the tone capsule wiring for Dingwall (weird volume issue; active is 4-5dB quieter than passive) and the bass was lying on its front. While I was there I checked the battery voltage again and pulled the volume knob out just to see if there was any change between active and passive, and it came straight out.
Maybe I just found the weird volume issue...
You may have. I dunno. :0 Is that that ABHS 6 with the DG that wasn’t factory?
