Dingwall Owners Club

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll be picking your brain at a later date about wiring (I personally hate stacked knobs and this is going in a non-Dingwall project).
I got a nice email from Pat Wilkins today. My D-Bird is done and ready to come home to me.
Remember how it started like this:
Well, now it’s a bit more eye catching:
I LOVE how it looks, it’s perfectly what I wanted, and I can’t wait to get it in hand.

I do love a green bass, too, and it’s just perfect. Now I have to go post it in the green bass thread.
When I started the contact with him, I asked for Ferrari Green or maybe something similarly bright, but a bit more saturated. Now, as he said, there are a few different colors you can find when searching “Ferrari Green,” so he sent me a couple of pics and asked which was more along the lines of what I was thinking. I went with this one:
Now, I know that photos and phone screens can slightly alter a color, but what he did with my D-Bird is just perfect, and even if it varies a little bit from the pic when I see it in person, it’s still going to be just the kind of green I was thinking of. Bright, like Dingwall’s FG, but more saturated.
Nice - one of these days I need to send him my Sklar and turn it Candy Tangerine.
Just realized I don't have a 5 string in my possession for the first time in... a long time
Well, my resistance has crapped out. I have an NG3 4 string on the way to pair up with/go head-to-head against my D Roc.
They just went cheap. Sticker on 2k bass is just silly.
I’m not the original owner, and it’s not a custom shop D-Bird. I bought it as a used D-Bird Standard, in Vintageburst. Now, I don’t hate a sunburst finish, but they’re not something I’d choose over other options, but I wanted a D-Bird, and shortly before Christmas this year, that one came up on Reverb for $1700, shipped. I’d intended to play it as is for a while, then make up my mind about a possible refinish later, but then a threaded insert came loose while I was adjusting pickup height, and so it needed minor repair anyway. I got a recommendation from JFB, and went for the refinish while it was being repaired.The ultimate greenscreen bass
Now you can reap the meme money off youtube!
So you had it refinished, am I correct? Why not just buy it green from the get go?
I wish the Droc head stocks had those side accents
Me too. And man, does it ever pop in that bright green on mine.
It’s a refin on a production bass. No custom colour ordering on these.The ultimate greenscreen bass
