Dingwall Owners Club

I'm not from LA, but I've read that a lot of folks have taken/sent their basses to Mo @ Nordstrand. In fact, he's working on my Super P right now.

Another vote for MosShop at a Nordstrand. Pro low set up guaranteed.


Let me jump in on the Mo bandwagon. World class skills and service. Knows as much about Dingwalls as the folks at Dingwall. Quick turnaround, excellent detailed communications. You want more? Ok, here’s more. Outstanding prices!
 
Permission to join the club. New owner of a Combustion 5, Indigo Burst, 3 pickup beast. Props to @bebass at Sho Me music for the awesome help.
It is a beautiful bass! These new colors rock! Congrats, there are not many of these out there!
 
I know barely any of you are local to this, but I finally pinned down some details for my annual Emerald City Bass Convention near Seattle, WA. Usually have between 70 and 80 bass players come for this (though it's been as high as 110, and sometimes we don't get to count everyone that comes)... some from as far away as the east coast. If you're free and want to come, please, do!

Here's the facebook event page for it:


And the (lackluster) website I tossed together for it:

No need to ask permission! Joining the Dingwall club is like perfecting copyright protection. All you need to do is fix it in a tangible medium (or just have it in your hands:D) and you are automatically a member!

Guys, I sat with the new Dbird for a good 2 hours today. Not sure my favorite pickup setting just yet, but I can say that it is by far the VERY BEST NECK I have (other basses are 4 Spectors, a Sadowsky, and a Lakland). I am so glad I went with the solid wenge upgrade. It is so comfortable, fast, and smooth. It just plays like butter.
 
Did I mention that I'm anxiously awaiting my new D Bird?
I was on the fence about it for so long, and afraid it was gonna get snagged just before I decided to get one.

Do any Los Angeles area Dingwall owners have suggestions on a tech/shop for modifying the bass to BEAD? I know a competent guy (I've used his services for years), but I'm not sure what his fanned fret experience is, and I'd feel best about going to someone familiar with setting up Dingwalls.
I'm from Michigan and sent my Super P all the way to Mo's Shop in California to have it worked on. Honestly, I'd do it again even for something as minor as setting the bass up for B tuning. He's really familiar with Sheldon's basses.

There really isn't anything wildly different about working on a fanned fret bass versus a parallel fret bass. If you have a competent and reliable guy, he can easily handle any work you need done.

The trans black bustin has some sweet mojo and nice action.
Nice slappy burpyness in passive.
