Dingwall Owners Club

Hi Selta,
Can you send me a DM regarding the neck request?

Sure! It's truly no problem - ya'll are super busy and I don't want to bother.

Ok so I caved and bought a Droc, yay! What guitar stands do y’all use for the Droc? I can’t seem to position it in a normal floor stand without it feeling like it will tip over. Makes me nervous so I don’t end up playing the Droc as much as I’d like. Am I missing something?

Hey guys! New to the Dingwall club, just picked this old girl up!

I would really appreciate any info from you knowledgeable people as I can’t find much about it online. It is a Dingwall combustion, serial number 80.

I understand it has an EMG preamp, is it possible to mod this easily to make it have a passive mode? The preamp definitely has a hiss to it.

Are the pickups wired in series or parallel? Do these model pickups have a reputation for any particular tone compared to other Dingwall pickups (brighter, smoother, etc.)

It is missing the back battery cover. Anyone know how I could find or make a replacement?

Thanks so much! View attachment 5381825 View attachment 5381826

Combustions are all post-fire...

From what I've been told, there was an issue with the 5th string being a bit weak on the very early ones. There was a mod- if you look at the bottom of the pickups, you'll see an extra neodymium slug if it has the mod. I had a set of the modded pickups, but the bass they're in is long gone.

I like the Hercules stands for my Dingwalls.

Similar to SemiDriven there, I use the hercules ones which more hang from the headstock. I currently use a Hercules GS432BPLUS if you want the specific model. I hang three Dingwalls off of it, one of them my Prima Artist, at shows and at home. It's solid and works well. I've even moved it with three basses hanging on it from green rooms to stage without any issues.

Come on, have some compassion. Guy needs to pay for a funeral. Morally speaking, buying it is the right thing to do.

Right? I think @Selta has no option in the matter. It's obligatory now.

I don't need another 6 string, but, dammit. I'd feel so bad with this ever growing Dingwall stable when I can't play them all, all the time. And it's going to be REAL HARD to take either the Prima or the Bloodmoon Z out of my hands as go-to instruments.

Sell the AB?

 

[Selta]

Sell the AB?

Wanna buy it? haha

 

[AB Nate]

Yes but I can’t

Or maybe you need someone to take the Prima or Bloodmoon off your hands then?

Hah. No way. We've played too many shows, too many memories, and too good of instruments to let them go.

 

[Selta]

Guess I might as well show this one off since I'm here and the AB and Bloodmoon got their time a few pages back

Got this email from JFB yesterday. I was tempted to give a silly price, but my luck it would've been some impatient fella with disposable income.

YOHB?
