This week I played a theater gig with my band, along with the city orchestra.
It quite the experience and my SJ delivered as always

@IvanBassist, just curious, do you have a preference between the SJ or PJ?

I always go back & forth. Some things are easier to play on the SP, others are easier on the SJ.

But I feel more “at home” with the Super P. Probably because I’ve had it for 4 years already

Don’t you have a 5 string Super on order? Do you expect that to be your main bass?

I spy an Anagram. Looking forward to a review on this.

O wait, there's this:



Great work!

Yes. I have a 5 string SJ on order. I don't really have an expectation for that bass. The main reason why I ordered it, is because I don't own any 5 strings. I'm curious to see if I like it better than my 4s

Hello, Club! Haven't been here for ages. A question to you guys who own D-Roc 4 string basses: have you strung them BEAD and what are your thoughts about the tone and comfort to play? Long story short - I already own ABZ5 and it's my #1 bass and it doesn't go anywhere but I'm thinking of getting D-Roc-4 to string it BEAD so I'd have kinda hot-rod all passive low end workhorse? Any ideas?

As far as I remember, that’s how Rob of Epica tuned his D-Birds and D-Rocs before getting his signature 5 string model

My 4-strong D-Roc is being setup f sharp. But likely to take at least another year.

Mike Quick (Quick Guards) made a clear pickguard for my Super J5. Clear or black? I’m actually leaning towards the original black guard.

I think both look great will. 2 good options you can flip/flop between.

 

[trigger_happy]

Anyone in the UK/Europe who ordered/preordered an SP1? Was dead set on the Metallic Black til I saw the Ducatti White so I went for that Loving the red pickguard, I know it's not a tort of some sort, but really interesting design.

Hey y’all. Any clue where we are with custom build serial #s? My slot is in the 7600s so it’s probably going to be awhile.

Mine just went into final production, #7079. I think it was supposed to start production after NAMM, but Jason and I just finalized everything last week. We both have been really busy, the delay wasn't on Dingwall's end.

What!!!! Are we gonna see this Jedi Master playing Dingwall’s now?!?!?

Geez Man…. You are insane!!

Pretty sure they're not done sequentially, and even then there's likely a lot of batch work done at the part level, so it's probably impossible for anyone who isn't an employee to guess based purely on serial number.

I did a thing. Without purpose.

 

[Chrishi87]

So I walked into a Musicstore which had a Dingwall Sale.
I have never had a "normal" Combustion in my hands.
I owned a few NGs, an D-Roc and tested a few of the new 2025 models some days earlier in a different store, and even the JT5.

But this Combustion had something. I don´t know what, but it had something. So I had to take it home.
Have to wait for new strings, as the current ones are pretty dead.

Does anyone know if there is a recommended cleaning product for the gloss clear coats on Z bodies?
