Dingwall Owners Club

Damn! Now I'm nervous :woot: haha
Well, you can stop being nervous. His sister approves! Her exact words were, "He knows what he is doing."
Unfortunately, he is in Thailand and it is blocked over there, so it will have to wait until he gets to a country that isn't blocking it. Maybe you could put it on YouTube so the world can watch it?

Facebook reminded me about this 6 year old shot of me with my ABZ.

Longshot, but any fellow dingwall users in the Portland area that happen to have a super p or j? I realy want to compare my ABZ 6 to one. Maybe a dingwall meet up in the PNW? :bassist:
Maybe early November? Any other PNW Dingwallers around?
That sounds like fun. My Super PJ5 and SJ5 would be interested if they don’t have plans.

I’d enjoy spending some time with the longer scale and extra string.
You guys just missed my annual Emerald City Bass Convention. We had quite a few Dingwalls there!
 
That is metal as hell. Are those shoulderpads made from tank treads or something? :D

Yeah. They were brutal to play in. I was 2 years into recovery from a major accident, and dealing with strength and mobility issues, particularly on my left side. An old club acquaintance asked me to join his project, and he fabricated all of our outfits. That was real tire tread on the shoulders. Some of the other costume parts were diamond plate foam, so that was easier to work with.
 
Actually I just used Dunlop 65 cleaner just before the picture. I bought a big bottle and it's lasting a long time.

While this stuff is fine for your Dingwalls, never let it get near any nitro-finished basses. Dunlop puts silicone in their spray which will make any kind of nitro repair impossible. I recommend using Gibson pump polish (in an orange bottle) for your nitro gear.
