Dingwall Owners Club

Can any 5-string NG or combustion owners out there recommend a hard case that they've personally had hands-on and/or used in person? I've ordered two different generic cases that should have fit by the measurements, but neither actually worked out. Sadly, shops around here don't seem to stock anything these days so I can't go try one. I'm specifically looking for a hard case. Thanks in advance - cheers!

(FWIW I did try searching before I posted. I looked through about 200 pages of this thread before giving up and just posting. Apologies.)

TKL has an exact fit for an AB2. I have had mine in one since new...
 
A word of warning to anyone who is thinking of taking the vinyl pickguard/sticker off their D-Roc. Dingwall doesn't have replacements. I agree the silver wasn't ideal on mine, but wanted to put a black one on. Maybe I'll have a wood pickguard made in Ebony or African Mahogany (or maybe black vinyl), Nuage420 was kind enough to send me a tracing (without the 2 secondary pieces). Of course if anyone has a tracing of those, I kinda like them.

Yeah, sorry I wasn't able to get that fancy my art skills were pushed to to the limit to get that haha.

Glad you're enjoying it!

So here is a funny one.

I had the bass mailed to my friend in Boston who is visiting family near me this weekend (canada…). So he will bring it up.

i was sending him shipping eta for delivery today (he works at home). JFB emails me, asking me to confirm delivery… as ups tracking showed delivery. “Left at side door”

no word from my friend when i message him. No answer when i call. He finally replies by text that “i will check” when i said delivery was confirmed (ups delivery said “left as side door…” thanks ups by the way… maybe ring or knock next time!).

Anyway he does not reply to me. I admit to being anxious. Solid 30 minutes pass.

Then i see this…
