Dingwall Owners Club

[AB Nate]

Thanks. I knew it was something like that.
That’s actually my very first bass. No name POS. The bridge is a hideous block, homemade I think, of pointy metal.

The electronics are pooched. It’ll be some kind of project at some point

it didn’t cost you anymore did it? Surely dingwall covered any incurred expense?

Ive had at least 3 with BEM without issue.

Ive also seen the photos of the faulty neck bonfire….

I paid an extra $755 CAD (just looking at the price list, can’t recall how much in Oz bucks I paid) for the birdseye. I’m now getting a wenge fretboard which is standard. Granted I’m also getting the Prima smoke inlays on the new neck. I received the bass in April last year, after waiting two years for it to be built in the first place, so that’s the ‘long’ of it.
Of course the new neck is being built under warranty.

On the subject of how well the bass is holding up, I've had my AB1 fretted since 2007 and it's a couple of years older than that. I'm amazed at how hard the finish is. In spite of the usual dings it's taken, most don't seem to leave a mark when you might expect. Weather is pretty stable here - I haven't played with the neck much.
The thing I've had to fix most is the jack. I think I'm on my 3rd Neutrik socket and this one is on the way out. The volume pot is getting slightly scratchy. Otherwise it goes like new.

Are you getting a refund for the BEM?

 

[geggy spoiger]

I haven’t been offered one, so no.

 

[NaH]

I haven’t been offered one, so no.

Are the smoke inlays compensation?

 

[geggy spoiger]

Are the smoke inlays compensation?

Maybe. I asked for them. They weren’t offered in lieu of not having the birdseye f/b.

 

[AB Nate]

I haven’t been offered one, so no.

Then you should ask IMO.

I heard a rumor that some FSO's were spotted in formation over Area 51, but they disappeared before anyone could get any video...

Does anyone know where to get Dingwall pickup covers for my N3 5 string. Just the standard black. Thankyou in advance

That is the cheapest I have seen a DBird! Someone on here is about to be real lucky. If they like Dingwall and rare items.

It seems like all the ones I’ve seen come up are that color pattern.

You'd likely have to ask Dingwall - did you crack one? They aren't covers - they are the pickup and are epoxied in.

Omg freaking hilarious and fun video. Adam Neely Dingwall content, but not what you'd expect.

Rob’s companion video is also pretty good.

If UPS would stop dragging ass on the money for my D-Bird they lost, I’d jump on that one.

Damn, it still hurts my heart that it’s gone.

Speaking of Speedo Bars - received my Z3 last week, and suffice it to say, I'm over the moon. Not for those who prefer bright color finishes vs. boring wood

That is great looking wood. Not boring at all.
