I'm guessing that's more a function of the angle and lighting - I am just about to leave home but I can directly compare them a bit later tonight. They "feel" the same (though the blue Z is hefty).

It’s an understandable reaction. Offering a complete copy is kind of weird, if I was preordering a Canadian built Dingwall, I would personally prefer to be able to spec out the options. It’s different when using a build slot rather than buying a bass that’s already built. Buying not exactly what you would choose now, versus having to wait and getting your choice in options.
So if you do a d-roc there aren’t many places for a battery box. By the bridge is where I found it was actually thick enough to get it in cleanly
I could totally see how this seems kinda dooshy, I’d probably be perturbed as well. I know the shop probably has a lot of wood in their back pocket but with variations that tend to persist it also seems kind of odd to be offering an exact copy.
I think it doesn’t help the seller on reverbs position portraying an exact bass, known to few really, but still, it’s not like they can offer that EXACT bass and then to picture it as “buy this” is very reminiscent of scammers even though I have no doubt they are a valid shop.
just doesn’t help the impression obviously left in this club.

Question for guys running the Darkglass Tone Capsule.. Is it me or does this thing chew through batteries? I put a new set in my NG3 before last weekend's gig they measured at 9.68v each, and just now prepping for my gig, they are 8.8V each. Energizer Max. I played quite a bit through the week (just at home) but this seems awfully quick. I'm wondering if I should just switch now or bring an extra set to the gig tonight. BL will not be happy if I go dead 2 hours into it.
Thoughts?

Awesome. If you could score some white pickup covers for the black bass I will call you King of the Dingwall club for the week.
I rarely have to change the batteries in my basses with the Tone Capsule.
I’m shocked nobody’s asked ‘the question’ yet lol
Greeeat, lol. When I brought it home from FN I swore watched Jason put two new Daddario batteries in it. A week later after the first gig they were down to 8.4 - he couldnt remember if the batteries he installed WERE new. I'm pretty sure they were. I could go through plenty of shows before my Sadowsky basses were down below 8.5v, this is my first run with the DGTC. I swapped them out anyway, I'll check the wiring after tomorrow's show.
I installed the DGTC on my Combustion and those batteries are fine.
And yes, I unplug when I'm not playing. Feel that coming from somewhere
A pinched or nicked wire, or mistake with the install could be causing the pre to stay on all the time and drain batteries.
My Cirrus was doing the same thing, draining a set in a couple weeks, even if it hadn’t been plugged in or played.
Turned out to be a wire pinched under, and nicked by the circuit board mounting brackets. A little heat shrink and a careful reinstall and all was well. Batteries last a year or more depending on playing time.

I think, in here, we’re a little less likely to assume someone asking that kind of question is ignorant about that subject.
I do know…it’s just weird not to see it asked 3 times within the first 90 seconds.
Hey Folks: Not to $h!t post here but I made a pretty crappy video today after work with the new Roc.
