I’m thinking about the duties to get it into the USA from Canada. Or maybe the duties are different in the USA for the non-Canadian models that come through Canada?

Yup, not sure :). Either way, that's the price, and, it's an amazing deal. I'm truly surprised it's lasted this long.

So got the labella white tapewounds in, and as expected I'd have to widen my nut slots a bit to fit them. The listed gauges are 43 50 65 85 105 and 135 but they seem a tad wider. Im a bit hesitant to open the slots unless I'm sure about the strings. Anybody know if I could go back to thinner gauges without swapping the nut, or would a new nut be needed? Normally I use strings in the range of 30, 43, 55 75 95 130.

As an NG-3 owner, I've been a little confused about the pickup switch configuration on my bass. Mine is one of the late 2018, early 2019 versions. When I first plugged it in, I could have sworn it was the D-Bird 3X. The #4 position seems to be too massive to just be Neck only. If I were to provide Dingwall the serial number, would they be able to confirm my configuration?

Thanks,
Bones

Or for future readers with the same problem and are using the search function.
Take a screwdriver and tap on the pickups...

I dig it! Sheldon seems to really dig the gold, and it looks good on Dingwall basses!

I wish Dingwall would just put black hardware on everything. The Smoked Chrome is ok, but, the black just feels right.

I was planning on selling my NG-3 after my other basses finally show up, but, after seeing @rulefuzz mod his Combustion with black hardware, I'm leaning towards keeping it and doing the black hardware upgrade.

yea, black hardware gives a complete different vibe

the gold combustion would look extra "dingwall" with matte black pickguard + all black hardware imo (since black and gold is like... dingwall's brand color imo :bag:

In addition to tapping on the pickups with a ferrous tool, you can take off the rear cavity cover and look at the circuit board on the pickup selector. It will either say 3x or D-Bird right on the circuit board.

I can definitely confirm that black hardware and Shoreline Gold look great together...
