Dingwall Owners Club

[AB Nate]

Can you guys save some Dingwalls for the folks that only have one, or none??(slightly jealous)

Everyone for themselves!!!!

Scramble!!

I do catch and release, so I’m currently at one Dingwall. (For the moment). Never know what will pop up in the classifieds....

It’s the fifth Dingwall so far, and they have all been excellent.

The Super P 4 is a keeper.

You’re probably right. I doubt Sheldon and the crew will turn out anything new and exciting .

 

[lowphatbass]

I do hear you though 1Malt...I’ll never get rid of my one Dingwall. Sometimes you just know you can’t ever get rid of a bass.

You could just do what I did, order multiples at once.

You'll get around a year and a half to figure out how to pay for 'em...

 

[lowphatbass]

IIRC my Dingwall was $1600 out the door with a bag, extra strings, tools and a canister of Dingwall neck wax....I think I had them through in a good strap. It was a lot of money back then.

Some mean bass noises with the DBird: if anyone is in LA on Thursday I'll be doing more of the same at the Viper Room with Diamante ahead of our tour with Breaking Benjamin

I am pretty much Wenge for life after buying my Dingwall, huge fan! Question though - are their any audio comparisons of FD3 vs. FDV? I am considering buying 2 FDVs for the middle/bridge position on my 3X to test out, but just want something recorded on the same bass-ish on the same setup to really draw some conclusions. I don't have any real opportunities to actually play with them live.

Conservatively logging around 2000 gigs and countless sessions to this point I’d say it was probably worth it.

You should show us a photo or 2 of the old battle axe!

Thanks for the tip, Sheldon!

I downloaded the audio to compare them in Logic.
The FDVs sound great. Lots of definition, but also with some growl.
I'd call the FD3s more "transparent"
The P-tone has some more phatness

Something worth mentioning: The FDVs seem to have been tracked a touch hotter (~2db) than the P and FD3 and ~3-4 db than the Super Fatty II

I haven't played this one since my first Dingwall, but yeah, I do love BEM boards.

I hear ya... Just moved on from this one. It just wasn't getting any play since I started playing Dingwalls. Maybe someday I will own a BEM board Dingwall.
