Dingwall Owners Club

No identifiable downside noted thus far. It has a decent chance of staying that way. They all seem to be getting along. Although I thought I heard some bickering about scale length something or other…

But it seems to be sorted. For now.

Your Super P is what inspired me to order mine

That’s awesome. It was the wallpaper for the Dingwall website for a very long time. I managed get a screenshot just before they changed it up. And the obligatory glamour shot from the site back then as well.

Very nice, also major bummer that they stopped chrome and cloverleaf.

Thankfully, both the SPJ and my SP have Chrome and clovers. It is a bummer. I’m curious what the impetus for dropping them was. Cost, maybe. Environmental concerns, maybe (chroming stuff is nasty work).
Some builds just scream out for chrome bits.

All of my Supers are chrome with clovers. I'm a traditionalist in that Y tuners on a vintage-based design just don't look right to my eye.

It would have to be with the bridge. Not sure who does the machining for them. The tuners are just another SKU with Hipshot.

I'm under the impression that Hipshot machines at least some of the bridges as well, or did. Found this out when I saw what appeared to be a stock AB bridge on an import instrument and messaged the owner about it. If he misled me, I'd love to be corrected. Seems like even if it's true you can't really get bridges from them anymore.

If I were to wager I would bet it was just streamlining for now and they will make a return if and when the queue gets manageable.
Mine arrived last week with chrome clover tuners, but has a black string tree like yours which is a little confusing.

I personally prefer the black hardware, but understand why some people like the vintage look.

Bass Cam from last weekend
The FDVs definitely cut through the mix.

Yeah, allright, Dingwall, Origin, Neural, we know the drill, it‘s clearly working for you and it’s all really really nice but dude, seriously: You can only keep posting these videos and tease us about your real secret for so long - come on, tell us already how you get that absolutely amazing hair of yours!


(And please don’t say it’s genetics. It’s genetics, right? Sigh… Is there a talkhair.com?)

 

[MultiScaleMale]

Vidal Sassoon. Heh.

 

[Lowendtech]

I remember when I had a head of hair similar to that when I was in my late teens/twenties but those days’r’gone. I still have a full head but I just can’t grow it like that anymore.

Now I got hair by Oscar De La Pillow.

 

[SemiDriven]

Hair? What is this thing of hair you speak of?

If ya got some, rock it. Rock it good!

as someone with long curly hair, I agree

Does anyone else find it highly ironic that the finest bass guitars on this planet are designed and built by a skinny-string guitar player? Many thanks again, Sheldon!
