Dingwall Owners Club

[ThisYouCanTrust]

the 9v HAZ circuit (lord I wish I could put one of those in a Dingwall).

The russian clone will fit, thb2 or twb2 :

Well...

I guess I’m finally, actually in the club. Better pics in the morning, when I have better light.

The cardboard box is pretty beat up, and I was sweating it as I opened it up, but that is a superb gig bag, and even it wasn’t even scuffed.

WOW..!!!
I have a D-roc Standard 5 string coming in March in the very same colour.
If it looks as gorgeous as yours I'll be a happy man.

Does anyone know.... Is Indigo burst on swamp ash pre-dyed black, or is the grain just dark due to blue being a darker color? I have asked for pre-dye black treatment on my Super P build, so I’m curious... Regardless, I’m sure it should be similar. Anything to make the grain “pop” more was the goal.

Even having heard that it was light and well balanced, I was NOT prepared for how it sits and feels when strapped on.I can’t wait to lightly tweak the setup tomorrow and plug it in (probably mostly due to altitude, it seems to need a hair more relief).

I’ve got a D-Bird from what I’ve heard the D-Roc is an improvement on that already phenomenal ergonomic design.

I wasn't able to view the link, but that's why I mentioned the other preamp @johnsonabq

I thought that was a similar to the HAZ but I'm not well versed on Spector preamps.

I asked the shop to fill the grain on my upcoming build and they sent me this as a sample. I’m not sure if that’s what you’re looking for, but i guess it could work on an indigo-burst finish. Mine is natural to black burst

First two pictures and I thought you were crazy. Oh my. That's not just a top.

Thanks for the pic Iv@n! I’m guessing that it is blacked out even on Indigo burst. Even when I see pics of the back sides of indigo burst combustion’s, the grain is pretty dark. Here’s hoping we both get some killer swamp ash grain on our upcoming Super P builds.

I do think that’s a pre dye to enhance the grain. I wish I had time to spend to build some projects and play with the finishing aspects.

Yeah man, just caught on to this one.
Very unique. It looks quite “vintage” but says 2019. Assuming built by the employee who is selling it.

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear some sound samples of this

 

[gidbass]

Thanks!
I still have one of Sheldon's (not Dingwall) SNC three band preamps that are copies of the 9v HAZ. I wonder if Mo can adapt one into a D-Roc. Hmmmm...

I have a two band SNC and am actually looking at fitting it into my passive ABZ. I have a PM out to Sheldon (SNC) with questions about it. I looked at the dingwall wiring, and the SNC preamp and asked him (Sheldon) if my wiring assumptions are correct.

My goal is to keep all the electronics of the ABZ and just replace the tone pot with a stacked pot that is the SNC Pre. I'll have to desolder the existing pots from the PCB to add the stacked one but I'm prepared to do that. I figure this way it's a reversible mod instead of drilling new holes which i won't do.

My incoming Super P is indigo burst with an ash body, I didn't ask for any no special grain enhancement so that one will give you a good idea what it looks like as is.
Last I heard it was due 'mid Jan' so I should have some pics soon!!!

Exciting stuff!! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

As would I! Very different internals to what we're used to hearing with these instruments.

I have a faint memory of Sheldon stating years back that he tried doing SS frets and it was a total PITA causing him to NOT work with them.

I remember that as well! And I think Lee Sklar had him try different size frets which he liked quite a bit.

yes, me too!
This one is actually done with SS frets.

it’s a pretty neat bass. The electronics are V/B/T/T
