Dingwall Owners Club

Has anyone here done business with Rüdiger's Gear Bazaar on reverb? They are in Germany and I'm thinking they have a brick and mortar store there.. Thank you.

I have been thinking that very thing. I just worry about the screw holes left behind.

I wouldn't worry about them too much. Black screws to fill them or if there's any wood showing a bit of black sharpie to darken it and they'll pretty much blend right in. Or again, clear pickguards...they look great too.

Do you think a Ding 6 string set would work for this?

I just checked with my spare set, yes the E from a standard long scale set will fit the 37" slot, goes past the nut with about 1/2" or slightly more to spare.

I can't blame you there. How was it working with BD? What were the extra costs? e.g. Duties

The export cost is lower. Plus, this bass was ordered 12-18 months ago, so it did not reflect the last price increase. I have not gotten any duty info from UPS yet, we’ll see. Bass shipped Monday and gets here tomorrow!

I bought an instrument on TB Classifieds a month ago from US. FedEx sent my duty invoice about a week later. Although that doesn't necessarily mean UPS will follow the same practice.

I live in Germany, never heard of a store with that name. Google also yields nothing.

I never took to the B string, I ran all my five string Dingwalls E-C.
*****
I never had new nuts made, and l like my action very low, so no problem there. Occasionally, the G string in the former D slot would have an open string rattle. I just put a bit of shrink wrap in the slot and made sure to keep the winding on the peg as low as possible. That fixed it.

My Super J 5 works great in E-C. No rattle here with the smaller gauge, but singlemalt provides an easy fix if you encounter one. Nice, taught E (35") and A (34.25"), with a relaxed G (32.75") and C (32")--a perfect balance for me.

Is Zoundhouse.de a real store in Germany?

 

[johnsonabq]

Ya know... Whether it's a Z or a Combustion. New bass day is always a kick!
My digital scale says 8.3lbs! Sweet!

I’ve seen that name pop up a few times while searching on google. Seems legit, but I have no experience with it.

The Whalepool & quilt are so nice, I'm waiting on mine to turn up and I think a clear pickguard would work a treat, it looks great tho already

It's funny you should say that. I always replace the nickel strings on my Dingos with SS. While doing so I took @BurningSkies advice and removed the pickguard. Why hide that beautiful wood?

Looks great man! I'd definitely keep the PG removed.

Better! If you wanted to make a clear guard, plex is easy to work with. You could do it with just a few hand tools and a countersink drill bit.

If you are handy with a router, even easier.

My local Tap Plastics has a scap bin for $1 a pound. 1/8th inch would be inexpensive.

Yeah, that’s a real store.

Congrats! I am glad it arrived safely!
And I too like it without the pickguard.

Totally can't see the screws at playing distance. Great whalepool!

"Gear Bazaar" is one of the magic name patterns Reverb creates around someone's name as a placeholder.

Dig the color for sure, yeah better off removing the guard now than waiting years and have a dark spot under it.

Clear guard would be sweet.

I have never had UPS send me a bill but Fedex does it every time. I am pretty sure it is to reduce the amount of sticker shock/package denials they get over their fees.
