And surely you have a good explanation for that .. ?
The band primarily has songs in Drop C and couple of them in Drop A. This way I don't have to change instruments like the guitarist does. It's a little more brain work, but makes sense for the situation.
And what are you buying while waiting for the SOL?I think you can. I ordered the JU Sol while waiting for my Effigy
It’s tight… but it’ll be fun
… and indeed it was

After two cancellations with two different retailers who couldn’t follow through with their estimated delivery date for an SP1, I finally managed to secure one through another reputable retailer here in Europe. Apparently a B stock with a minor finish issue but I’ve seen the pictures and it’s barely anything to worry about.
Should arrive in a few days, can’t wait!
Went for a White/4 string. I already have two replacement pickguards waiting (gold and matte black) as I can’t stand the red one.

Sounds like a bad excuse not to get a second dingwall but maybe that's just me
My NG3 is a B stock too. But besides the “B” stamp next to the serial number and if the shop owner had t have pointed out the “defect”, I NEVER would’ve found the millimeter sized indent on the fretboard. Can’t feel it and can only see it at a specific angle and if the lighting is right. Saving a few hundred bucks for the win.
Be sure and post some pictures of your new SP1 when it comes in. Is this your first Dingwall?
I really like the pick guard you installed. It ties in well with that celestial blue.
WD Music did a great job. I simply love how now the bass looks like a blue sky with dark ominous clouds… at least that’s how I see it.
i now use an anagram. but still like the x for the bass.
We are exploring options…You can be a one-woman man, but keep a mistress...
Call it a concuBASS
lol.
I dove into one more final reno on the house here before listing asap.
Once that’s off my plate my gear is gonna go into a closet for a while. Turmoil of emotion about that aspect but optimism about the others.
Needless to say, I do wonder how much closet space I should actually be taking. 3 Dingwall’s are dancing between the category of excess or the the category of Unique, not worth selling.
definitely is an interesting stage of life to be at.
Dingwalls won’t be getting any cheaper @AB Nate
If you love the ones you have, it’s probably worth it to hold onto them rather than going through regret and then hunting for a replacement in a few years and paying more. Especially if you are moved to Europe as there are less around, there is VAT to consider, etc.
Love the ones you’re with!

Right now ... on Reverb ... IMHO they are getting cheaper on the secondary market. Much cheaper and more available, even very pretty ones from the custom shop.
Agreed, however even now, at best, a Z3 is a grand more than I paid right as COVID hit. There is some sort of price correction occurring on the used market right now. Who knows where macroeconomics is headed but my experience is that generally, everything is getting more expensive and has been for years.
I would speculate this is a “dip”. Maybe a couple yr dip but still that. The worlds priorities are elsewhere ATM.
@DeltaPhoenix I agree with your sentiment which is why I am still holding, but my personal philosophical question comes up again and again right now, what is the right balance of material assets(for me) to balance between freedom and burden?
Maintenance, storage, security, attention, etc. the thought of just having a beater bass feels liberating!! but once you have a taste of the good life it’s hard to go back right!! lol.
Flights and a backpack are all I really want at the moment….
That said, maybe an Effigy makes sense!!!! Hahahhahahahah.
Kidding…mostly

Yeah first Dingwall, excited!
And yeah saving some money off it, considering what the supposed issue in the finish is looking like, it was a no brainer. It seems Dingwall’s QC is quite strict and they’d flag the slightest finish defect as B.
