Dingwall Owners Club

After another long jam tonight, I just can't gel with the TI flats. They sound killer, but it's not what I'm after. If anyone is interested in a set cut for a 5'er (roughly 2-1/2 wraps around post), let me know! I'm not gonna use them, I'd rather get them to someone here who will.

@AB Nate was super cool and sent me a set of Payson flats to try out. Gonna slap those on tomorrow. You rock dude!

Enablers, all of you...

Nonprob Gus. Hopefully they are more suitable

The Payson flats are a good bit stiffer than the TI’s. Nice, solid thunk.

After 26yrs there’s finally a new sibling coming…

It really does look good. Looks like the red/orange counterpart to the purple/turquoise reverse burst that Dingwall does.

I would totally buy those TIs from you if I hadn’t just bought a set for my NG. If I buy them I’ll have to get another Dingwall to put them on. Hmmm.

I can't edit the post and didn't have a chance to update yet. @Ryno1330 snagged them just a little bit ago.

I don’t know any particular thread to put this ongoing project in, and it’s sort of peripherally Dingwall connected, sooooo…

First component of the Ibanwall project came in. Yay, it fits!

Are you using Dingwall pickups?

May be best to start a new thread. Depending on what you're doing, maybe in lutheir's corner, or just in basses.

Nordstrand’s “Dingstrand Nordwall” pups. So, basically FD3s in regular soapbar style and sized housings. Then it’ll get a DGTC on top of that.
Getting, examining, and researching the 2x switch has also proved useful in that I’m pretty sure I have a handle on the questions I had with the installation of a six-way for my NG3.

I thought about it, but it’ll be slow going for a few weeks yet. The DGTC is back ordered through Sweetwater, and the pups will take a few weeks.

Now, when I do get things rolling, I’ll do a thread in basses, this is just me fiddling around and putting Dingwall parts to a heretical use.

Simple is best, ya know?

Why is noone posting anything!?

 

[seedokebass]

Did they announce something and we're all asleep?

B string is looking a little long on that Super; the outer wrap is stiff enough that the string is bending sideways at the nut as it winds around the post.

When I was using Kalium strings on my 4-string Z, I had to remove part of the outermost wrap to prevent it from doing that...then solder the winding at the cut point to prevent it from continuing to unwrap.

I'll play... NG3 mods!

Didn't like the hipshot solos I installed so I just kept the saddles and used the OG bridge plates. Swapped out the tuners, gave it real Dingwall knobs, added a black jack cup, and blacked out the neck gaskets.

I installed the reach extender following the John Fox video.. it worked great but small section of finish lifted. I added some thin CA glue in the cracks to help seal and prevent further chipping. Should have scored the finish with a razor blade first, duh... lol.

Overall... Me likey.. a lot!

I really need to see the rest of those. All the sudden I've got a thing for Supers. I see you're from Kansas - I'm half tempted to drive down from Iowa to knock on your door to try those 5'ers haha.
