I’m more so interested in the babicz regardless of the absurd price tag. I love the full contact system on them. Just want to know if they are drop in.

The Markham L and M is my local and I'm generally in there once or twice a week. I have only ever seen one Canadian Dingwall and that was around last Christmas. Someone ordered one, took it home and then brought it back. It was only in the shop for a couple days then gone again. Give them a call and see, they are very nice, helpful people there.
I asked in one of the discussions in the FB group, and I think it was Jason who told me the Babicz needs one hole drilled.
Does Babicz have a 1-piece bridge for multi-scale basses? I’ve only seen individual saddles.
So I think I'm having the low B rattle that some have mentioned here. It did go away if I put pressure behind the nut, so I lowered the tree on the bass side slightly and its still happening.
It's obvious the holes aren't drilled very far, the screws barely want to turn with no string tension. Should I remove the tree and re drill so it can sit lower? How low is "too low"?

Can people post more pictures? I need a dingwall fix.
Here ya go! The lovely downtown area of Dingwall, Scotland...
That walnut & maple Z is pretty much the exact bass I would order if I wanted a "signature" model.

As Nate mentioned the black hole sunburst. One of the guys at the shop came up with the idea. And it just happens to sound really dang good too
.
I'd look for the rattle elsewhere. Check that all the tuner buttons are tight, tuner mounting nuts are snug first.
My first name is Dustin, so I pretend the nice inlayed Ds are because it’s my custom signature model.That walnut & maple Z is pretty much the exact bass I would order if I wanted a "signature" model.
