Dingwall Owners Club

Did you pay extra for luminlays? Because if they put pearloids on there y'all got shafted.

It was sorted it out. But yes, I was avoiding that for sure.

Glad it got sorted out. Luminlay side dots add $110 to the build cost but I wouldn't order a bass without them - so nice to have when the lights go out and you have to be in position for the down beat.

I've been conflicted about the huge upcharge and one year wait for a DROC 5 Custom vs Standard but decided to stick with my custom order. I have a bass with maple neck and pau ferro board but never owned one with a wenge neck and board and want to satisfy that curiosity. This video nails the tone and playing style that works for me. Mine should be quite similar except in burgundy mist with pearloid ellipse markers.
9 months to go...

That's going to look great in Burgundy Mist (one of my favorite solid colors)! My curiosity about wenge necks and fingerboards will have to go unsatisfied. I'm done buying basses...

For a guitar player, Tom Sholz sure did come up with some great bass lines.

I'm real close to done myself. I'm not a collector and have 3 keepers that cover all my needs. This one is just different enough that I want to see if it will find a niche. Time will tell.

I have four (customs) that won't leave my hands until I leave this world. Truly an embarrassment of riches.

Well, let me just pick my jaw off the floor real quick… heard a lot about these guys, never knew they were locals!

Great tone, great playing, great song. Burgundy mist + wenge is going to look and feel amazing. I don't recall having seen ellipse inlays on a Dingwall before.

Ellipse inlays are actually standard on the D-Bird / D-Roc Customs. Here‘s preview, available from the netherlands right now:

You're in for a real treat. Dingwall wenge necks are amazing.

Ohh okay, I have seen those. I thought you meant something bigger, more akin to a block inlay kind of deal.

Great bass line, great playing, fabulous tone, awesome looking Dingwall. And the best of all? That so chill cat.

This is what it should look like with the ellipse inlays.

Some fun shots of my trusty ol’ Super J on a recent gig. Pretty fun for a Tuesday night gig.

Maple neck, though.

In case you were wondering how a Super P looks without a pickguard
Note also how the pickup routing is set to have a reverse split P, too.

 

[singlemalt]

Once again, smart design that will accommodate all the various pickup configurations. Looks like there’s enough room to hide a 9 volt if an aftermarket pre amp was desired.

Very interesting to see if one were to set the Super P up for reverse, the E/A-coil would actually move a little towards the bridge. Didn’t see that coming at all, to be honest.

Edit: Also, everything‘s prepared for a drop-in with all the threaded inserts glued in place? The people in Saskatoon are simply gems.

Interesting, and they now make "no pickguard" Super Ps!
