Dingwall Owners Club

It can be problematic

I can foresee that right after I pay the last of the invoice, I’ll turn right around and drop a deposit on that Super P/D-Roc 5/ABZ fretless that would be next on the list.

At least, whichever it is, it won’t be as much as the Z3 I’m getting in August-ish.

Where can I buy a Dingwall soft case? I might just be a fool, but I can't find anything online.

If they're not widely available, what's everyone's favorite choice for a nice but not extravagant soft case? I have a Combustion 4 string.

I've bought several used Dingwall gig bags right here on TB. Some folks think they need the added protection of a hard case and dump the gig bag as soon as they get their Dingwall.

Admittedly I was skeptical at first, but now I strongly prefer a well made gig bag over any hard case I've owned.

If you're looking for a Dingwall branded case, I am not sure they sell them separately. It looks like the current ones are the Music Area RB30.

My personal favourite is the Access Stage 3 gig bag. If you want nice, but not too much of a gig bag, the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] is also nice.

Mono also makes some really killer bags. I love mine.

I have the M80

Last night I finally had full band rehearsal with this metal project that just hired me. It's in A standard and the NG3 just crushed it!! The FD-3 pickups are absolutely perfect for this. After the first tune they were all so impressed with the clarity of the bass - I can play, but I don't think I've played a bass that can achieve that level of clarity down low.

Their former guy used a similar bass rig as me but with a warwick thumb. His tone sounded like an 808 topped with someone dropping metal shards into a metal bucket. Not "clean" by any means, lol.

Super stoked on this setup. I can't believe I'm playing metal again. It's been at least 15 years, hahaha!

So for those NG owners who have upgraded to black hardware, where did you get the tuners and bridge pieces? I got the Canadian knobs and now I want to do the rest.

Tuners from Hipshot and bridge from Payson. Unfortunately, he doesn't make the black four-string one-piece bridge anymore.

Sorry I should have specified, 5 string. Thanks!

On one of the FB groups, someone got their single-string bridges directly from Dingwall. Might have been a while ago. You could probably get them via a Dingwall dealer, if not direct order.

Another long shot…

Does anyone have a set of Square-End, Super Fatty, 5-string pickups sitting in a drawer and are willing to sell them?

Some have used the Solo single-string bridge from Hipshot. IIRC, a new screw hole is needed...

I am not sure they ever made Super Fatty's in the square shells. They were in the skinnier shells of the SuperJ's at the time.

Already got mod plans? Haha

I got my parts from Jason at Fret Nation. For some reason, the hipshot solos just didn't feel "right" to me so I kept the black saddles but sold the plates. I like the look of the smoked chrome plates and black saddles. Makes it a little unique, lol.

Mine are still firmly ensconced in my favorite five-string. I love running them in series.

The J in my SuperJ 5 (P/J) is a Supper Fatty.

You can get them directly from hipshot or if you prefer, fret nation usually has them as well.

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

They were even skinnier shells on the 4-strings.
