Hang in there! It will be worth it when you finally get it!Still no sign of my green SP1 arriving anytime soon
A few months ago, I won one of the Dingwall “touring musician” backpacks via a contest on their Facebook page.
It’s too nice of a backpack to sit unused, so I’ve listed it in the TB classified ads:
Thought I’d give a “heads up” to the Dingwall fam here…

Yeah I'm waiting on mine too. The first natural burst arrived at my dealer though so...not long now...Still no sign of my green SP1 arriving anytime soon
...we hope...
Just changed strings on my SP1 for the first time. The Minimalist bridge makes that task easier than any other bridge I've used. You don't have to thread the strings through the bridge holes like a Fender, and the ball ends don't continuously pop out of the slots under low tension like some "quick-change" bridges. The string anchor slots on the Minimalist are machined in such a way that, when you poke the strings into the bridge, the ball ends just "automatically" anchor in place and stay put, even with no string tension. Very cool!
After 8 years of wanting a Dingwall, then recently desperately trying to find a swirl one to get as my first, I ended up buying my first Dingwall. Not a swirl, but this blue to purple colorshift is gorgeous enough
(limited edition, was exclusive to Musik Produktiv in Germany)
Its everything I imagined, plays amazing. I may get a transparent pickguard for it. I guess my next instrument is going to be an ABZ in a few years, I bit the bait and loved the taste. Im one of you now, teach me the secret handshake!

Yep, wenge is my fave neck. And, 8.37 lbs if anyone was wondering. Great balance so it feels even lighter
I have noticed some noise when my SP-1 is plugged into either my rig or my Tascam bass trainer with headphones, that goes away when my left hand is on the strings, but is annoyingly present when not touching the strings. It increases with volume and its at its loudest when the PUPS are in series. Is that a grounding issue? Or is it normal and I just never noticed it with my NG3? 
I caught some noise when recording with my SP1 today and listening back with headphones. Haven't noticed it playing on my rig. I may have to go over it for shielding/grounding now that I know it's there.I have noticed some noise when my SP-1 is plugged into either my rig or my Tascam bass trainer with headphones, that goes away when my left hand is on the strings, but is annoyingly present when not touching the strings.

I had my SP1 in series as well when I noticed it. My favorite setting.
Wanted to hear how the Pure Blues sounded, and they did not disappoint. Sounds nice and even over all the strings with a tone more to my liking and less zing than the Dingwall strings. Great match for the SP1.
Quick groove/loop I recorded on the SP1 5er with Pure Blues:

I was using the SB port of an older laptop to power by Tascam Bass Trainer. I had left it powered up when I switched over to my rig. After I powered everything down, I turned my Magellan back on to work on a lesson and no noise! So it might be that I was introducing some sort of digital noise from the old laptop. I guess I probably can't blame my bass for that! LOL!

Great family pic! With such a nice variety, do you feel they are reasonably similar or different from each other? Do you use different pickup settings for each one? I love a variety of sounds but always find myself using B+N parallel live.
I’m putting my Dingwall Super P for sale. Made in Canada.
Need the money for my double bass, so it has to go. I’m going to put it up for sale here, but if anyone is interested, send me a pm. European Union would be the the preference. Thanks.
