Dingwall Owners Club

Who owns a Dingwall strap and what positive things can you tell me about it? Been thinking about getting one for my upcoming tour in January :)
Have you ever tried a Levy’s strap? That’s what they are. They are a soft comfortable strap nothing fancy but a good size should width and a bit of padding inside. I have one and a few other levy’s I’ve been slowly filtering from my collection as I find time to make the odd one for myself.
 
Very nice straps, but I preferred my Italia 4”. I let the Dingwall strap go with one of the basses I sold.

If I remember correctly, the Dingwall strap was very smooth on the underside and moved easily. I like the grip of suede on the underside of the strap.

I have a black/blue Italia that goes great with the blue Dbird, blue side out and black side out with the black Super P. With the recessed strap locks, you’ll end up turning the strap over, kind of inside out.

Good information here. I also prefer the straps that have a grippier underside
 
Happy Halloween! I would have liked to have borrowed Nate’s Joker Z for this photo but Pearl here matches the vibe too!
