I'm in that same situation. I have a Pedulla Pentabuzz up for sale now that I want to use towards another Dingwall and know as soon as she's gone I'm going to miss it. But I miss my Z and previous ABZ

Allen, I can't remember if you've been a Dingwall person in the past or not. Have you spent any time with the 'long scale' Dingwalls?
I have not. I currently play a New York Bass Works rf524. I believe it is 34.5" scale

While obviously, I'm 100% in on the 'long scale' Dingwalls and love them, I'd suggest trying to get your hands on one of them (any model of the 34-37" basses) before investing the kind of $$ that a custom order takes. For some people that means buying a Combustion/NG or used ABZ/AB1 then moving on, or finding someone in your area that can share theirs.

Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.
^^ this is an important consideration. I went from a Super J/P 4 to a long scale Z3 5 and wasn’t comfortable with the switch. Eventually I had to realize that the Supers were just perfect for me and couldn’t be happier now. Although there seems to be a lot more long scales in the wild than Super series.

Ha! Yeah I’m pretty attached to that bass for sure. I can’t put my finger on it, but there’s something particularly special about that specimen of alder and maple!
I don't like it, but, I'm not going to belittle anyone else's choices. Hopefully it's everything the buyer wanted out of it... or if no buyer, that's OK too. I'm here to oogle and chat about Dingwalls.
Ive often wondered if we would see a FF fender....
We’ve discussed many other offerings.
I’m not a FAN..... get it
FAN.....

That would work, but there has to be someone close to you (Georgia, right?) who can give you some hands on time? No dealers in state but there are in NC, Tennessee, etc. Gotta be one of our people in that area...
if anyone has any leads on a Z, AB or Super PJ 5, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Correct sir.
not common at all. Reflected in the price obviously. I betcha it would pair beautifully with the the new DG harmonic booster pedal
Note that those price tags are in Canadian $. Like, before ya have a coronary or anything. Not that it's necessarily cheap after converting to USD.
