I’ve slowly come to terms with the Y tuners on the Super PJ but have considered trading them out for cloverleaf tuners. It’s a P bass. It should have clover leafs. Or is it clover leaves?
I truly adore and agree 100% on my SJ with the natural top

But, I actually don’t mind the modern style tuners on my coloured SJ.

LOL. I even had the thought with selling the camphor burled topped SJ that I would swap the tuners to keep the black clovers but decided that the other SJ is More modern in design and nature and the normal tuners seem to suit it.
 
Curious about the ā€œonly solid colorsā€ for the Effigy. Is it, ā€œanyā€ solid color like from PPG or only the ā€œstandardā€ solid colors normally offered by Dingwall ie Vintage White, Ferrari yellow, shell pink etc.

Also on the 2 vs 3 pickup options… would the 2 pickup be in the say Sklar/Z position or the NG2, or would it be the more traditional 2 pickup position?

Only way to know is through a dealer I think. I would love to have a configurator on the Dingwall site with all available options. No there are errors with some of the basses they offer, and things that are unclear. It's likely also not very easy to distill correctly.

The Effigy listing on the John Fox Bass website is fairly detailed and lists colour options. Sounds like it includes any solid options, including candy and metallics, just no transparent finishes.

I'll be surprised if the 2 pickup configuration is like the Z/Sklar instead of AB but you never know. Personally, I would prefer that. Let us know if you do find out.

I read it as well and since his sights lists all the color shift options (with a heafty price) I wasn’t sure if those were considered ā€œsolid colors (paint only)ā€. I’ll email him and see what he says.
 
For some reason, I have been subscribed to this thread forever, but strangely haven't received any notifications in a long time, so have been MIA for a while.

Question: For those of you that have played both the SuperJ5 and/or Super P5 and the new SP1 5, how does the neck profile compare? I know they list the string spacing on the SP1 at 18mm at the bridge and the Canadian counterparts as 19mm. That is was always the one spec along with the neck width at the nut (too wide) that I didn't particularly like on the Supers. Visually, it looks wide on the SP1 5.
 
New Dingwall Super P in da house! I forgot how glorious a birds eye maple fretboard is. Thanks for taking good care of this beauty @singlemalt

Curious as well.

That birdseye is gorgeous! I’ve always wanted a DW with birdseye maple fretboard but it doesn’t seem to be an option these days šŸ˜”
Only on the used market homie! 😜

What I think I understood from Jason was that you could get any solid color and even go custom. Not 100% on that because I decided Ferrari Green quickly. Maybe it has to be solid because they’re recycling pallet wood? (Kidding, it’s mahogany.)
