What's with all these photos of strange straight-fret basses? Are they a thing now?
I had thought I wondered into the wrong thread...

Watch out where the huskies go...
Wait, is it too late for a picture of my Cirrus?

No, I got it off the Dingwall website. I've been using various pics from there to get an idea of what I want for a possible Afterburner order.
Here's another....
I know I want a wenge/wenge neck, 3x FDV w/series/parallel switches and Darkglass pre. I hope I can afford an ABII. I'm waiting on quotes.

Look on the bright side, maple sounds great, and is lighter.
I will state that Le fay does do fanned fret models......
I know. I’m reaching. Lol.
I wish I'd opted for the Wenge/Wenge neck when I placed my order a few months ago. Its such a great looking/feeling combo, I just couldn't justify the added expense, especially over 4 basses. I just had to settle for the standard Maple/Wenge.
Maybe I'll make that happen with my next order...
NOthing wrong with maple. I’ve got 2 with wenge and I love the maple equally. Sound and feel.
It definitely gives a bass a different look though.

Please don't, cause then I would have to post one of my Cirrus. Man, I LOVED USA Peavey's and owned several.
Just kidding, post what you want.
This is a bit more in-line with our fan-fret Dingwalls. Actually the first Super J I have played on for more than 30 seconds (I got at least 3-5 minutes with it)- no, it isn't mine (I wish) and it isn't for sale. Just came in this Friday.

I agree. For a bit I was kinda hung up on the Wenge as I like it a LOT and if looks could kill... But then, after playing bunches of Maple necks, I like them a LOT, too.
