My Sonic Super P launched from Saskatoon today and is expected to land at my house on or around the twenty-fourth! :cool: :cool: :cool:

Fantastic news, Ken!

Fed x never got mine moving out of Orlando until 5 this morning so I won't have it until Monday.

We'll have to compare serial numbers to see how close the basses are. I think that Sheldon once mentioned that they do small batch work where they can. The bodies probably made small talk while in the drying room for paint!

Ha!

I am really excited. Not just because our basses are done but all of the builds going on. There are some really nice basses being built. 2014 should be a fun year to live vicariously through other's builds.

Dude. I was thinking the exact same thing today. Buying two in one year will make me kick back and thrill vicariously through others' amazing new Dingwall creations in 2014! ;) I'm especially looking forward to watching the new crop of Super P/FD3's come to fruition. :bassist:

I'm planning a Super P 4 string with the FD3 bridge pickup, Hipshot D tuner, wedge neck and board (I prefer necks with no finish), white pearl guard, Luminlay side dots, in Capri Orange. I won't be ordering for a few months, however.

Well, my Super P5 is exactly 10 minutes from my home.........sitting there.......all alone........in the dark.

I contacted FedEx to ask if there was any way possible to pick it up. Unfortunately they told me I could not. :bawl:

Perhaps I'll take a sleeping bag, go down to the loading facility, and sleep next to the truck until the driver comes in Monday morning.

Take a sledge hammer, a crow bar and a couple of screw divers instead of the sleeping bag! :eyebrow::ninja::hiding:

What does Capri orange look like? Also, do you know how much the luminlays cost?

Side dots - $80, face - $120

My image search for Capri Orange found a specimen with a fancy "F" on it:

Exactly, though that photo is a little brighter, less 'creamsicle' than the real deal. It's a little closer to these two:

I acquired a CIJ Fender P through the Classifieds here a few years ago, after searching for months once I realized it was the color I was looking for. My hopes are that the Super P in Capri Orange will be the last bass I need for a good, long while. I'm hoping Sheldon won't mind if I send an actual paint chip from my P bass, as I don't want to leave anything to chance, since there's a lot of variation in the color when looking at photos online.

Every time I see Capri Orange with a maple neck, I wonder if wenge is really the way to go, but I just love the feel so much.

The hue of your precision has surely faded with time and UV exposure. I think that providing an actual chip would be the best thing to aid Sheldon in achieving your desired finish. :cool:

Very cool. It's good that they're now accepting to do custom colours in the Super series. When I was inquiring about a SuperP early on, it was what was on the list and that was it.

Yup, very excited for the custom color option. It's actually cheaper than a few of the stock color options, too! I was gonna settle on Candy Tangerine until I scrolled a little further and saw the custom option line. Now, to wait for the ol' tax return, so I can make the down payment!

The sonic blue custom charge was very reasonable (half the price of most options). :)

Is the retail price list on line now, or do we still run Barry down for a copy of the 2014.

Oh checkbook, why do you forsake me?

I don't know that it is online. I usually ask Barry via e-mail. My checkbook is on a long hiatus. I'm good - my fabulous four will keep me inspired for years... :cool:
