I wish. You must report. There are some keyboards I'd love to see as well.
Yeah. I think even if an ideal Z popped up, I'd pass at this point. The Prima 5 and AB1 6 are doing everything I need and want, and I have two AB1 5's that mostly just sit there. I'd have to be a pretty bad deal for the seller to get me to jump at this point hah.No but there are plenty in Japan.
As much as I love soloing the (series-wired) neck pickup on my NG-2 in active mode, I've noticed that notes in the 'money-range' of the D string are stronger than those on adjacent strings. Not a problem, just an observation. 
It did make me curious what going back to parallel would do, so I re-wired. It's 'tamer' overall, with a more even response. Then I kicked in the bridge pickup in series mode. This really is a monster setting. It gets even tastier backing the bass knob back a bit...

This really is a monster setting. It gets even tastier backing the bass knob back a bit... Sequential Prophet X and Waldorf Quantum in particular. Always looking for cool small keyboard 'gadgets' too. Particular interest in Wavetable synthesis at the moment. Arturia's Pigments is cool. Would love something like that in desktop hardware or portable.
That’s interesting. It’s my third favourite colour of the standards (after blue purple and vintage burst). Clearly I’m out of touch.
Whoah!!!!!
English please....
In really simple terms: Pricey drool worthy synths or cool gadgets that let you make your own sounds on the go.
Me too! I’d say it’s my last .... or least fav. But that’s me. My tastes bore others

Watch out where the huskies go...
The purple color is pretty awesome. I guess I'm out of touch, too.
That would be interesting to see/hear.
Here's a big shout out to Michael Lomax of ShoMeMusic, aka @bebass He is the reason I will be getting one of the first NG3 6 strings next week. Best customer service in the land of Dingwall retailers. He has another (purple swirl I believe) that's not spoken for yet, and he is in line for several others.
For those that don't know, Im sure this will be greatly appreciated by many

I was a bit surprised as well. But it is a striking color. I remember when Sheldon was deciding whether to go with this color or not. The market is demonstrating that it was a great choice of colors. I think the Vintage Burst is my personal favorite of the D-Bird Standard and is the one I actually ordered for myself. Unfortunately mine will not be here until late summer.

I think that your bass is an awesome color and I do personally like it better as well. Yours is a stunning bass!
Again, I am so grateful for you working with me on this one!
I don’t mean to offend anyone, IMHO is where that remark came from. The market responds in unpredictable ways at times, all that really matters is that folks are getting great instruments that they love!
If I were going for a standard D-Bird, I would go for the purple/blue or the vintage burst.
Your allowed to your opinion. We all are. And no has to like it either bro! Dingwall makes amazing instruments that cover the spectrum of all our diverse opinions!
It would be boring AF if we all liked the same thing.
It’s just really nice when we have respect for each other’s opinions as much as we may disagree

Thanks! Your bass is all packed up and ready to ship Monday "If the Good Lord Willing & the Creek Don't Rise". I say that tongue in cheek but it is snowing like crazy right now. I must say that I was completely stunned at the easy playability of the 6-string as I had the preconceived idea that I would be totally intimidated by 6 strings. It made the runs I like to do SO easy! One time a guitar player complained that I was overplaying...with this 6 I bet he would REALLY complain, haha.
