I'd kill for the AOU and/or the X7 modeling for my Helix! I do have the B7K Ultra though.

+1

If they did an AOU model, I'd be selling mine for sure. The B7K emulation in the Helix is incredible. Almost indistinguishable to the original, to my ears.

Not sure how I feel about darkglass tone Spectors. We'll see. I might go set up a spare rebop like that.

I'm a soap bar/5 player so won't be able to follow your exact route with Lindys unfortunately.

Not sure how that pre plays with soapbar pickups. I've only used it with their P/j pickup config. The Euro LX model is rebranded the Euro LT and it has a DGTC with different EQ points as standard equipment.

Yes, it will be interesting to see what Korg brings to the table with the DG & Spectors. We had several customers who purchased the TC to install in their Spectors, so it should work out to both company’s advantage.

It has been an option on USA basses for a while, but now Euros are starting to come with them. Personally I'll always prefer the 9v HAZ circuit for my Spectors.

Presumably the TC plays okay with the soapbaresque things in the NG

OK, Dbird 5. !!!

I want to know more about it. I want one! Has anyone tried one? Does it have a distinctive sound, or are all Dingwall 3 pickup basses the same sonically?

Anybody know the price?

Hi Sumit,

I have a 4 string Custom D-Bird with a few additional options and it cost me about $4k.

That's true, I was just focused on Spectors, but that's a fact. Sounds quite good.

The FD-3ns aren't really soapbars, they are split coils:

The 5 String D-Bird received the Best Bass Award at NAMM. Considering it was competing with every new bass on the Planet . Wow!

Well, this beauty arrived while I was away at NAMM. As I posted previously, my plan is to sell it because I recently purchased an AB HS 6 long after I ordered this, which is arriving today. But now I'm having second thoughts...Love the Ducati white, the low action and the feel of this this instrument. The neck is noticeably thinner than on my NG2. Pretty much like an AB neck. Plays like a dream.

looks awesome! The new string retainers look good tho! And funny how they changed the writing at the electronicscover to "NG Signature Model" on my NG3 it says "NG2 Signature Model"

Lovely. Those new string guides look really good, too. I'd love to hear sound clips. I'm hopefully ordering one soon.

Now they can use the plates on NG2's and NG3's without needing multiple printing schemes.

Wow that looks incredible. And I love the tiny Dingwall logos on the string retainers!

I think it's nuts that you're thinking of selling it after such a long wait. At least you won't have any trouble doing so. I'd buy it if I didn't have a black one on the way!

Good eyes - I missed the mini-logos. Nice pics - the Ducati White is sharp!

Well, I'm not sure I can justify owning the ABHS 6 and the NG3 6. We shall see....

And this just in from Malaysia. So...if you had to keep just one (the NG3 6 above or this) which one and why? (I know, kind of impossible without hearing/playing them, but what the hey)

This, cuz I'm a sucker for woodgrain.

 

[packrat]

You should keep the NG because it's, uh, more NGy.
