Dingwall Owners Club

is there anything you need other than a Dingwall to join the club...like a top end Dingwall of to be a supporting member of TB?

Yes. Club rules clearly state that you must post a pic of a hot-looking girlfriend, wife, mother, etc. holding said Dingwall. Doesn't have to be a Dingwall either; she can be holding a ukulele for all I care.

how did you know my girlfriend has a ukulele? no seriously she does!

I'm ****in' psychic, that's how!

Seriously db, you always impressed me as a guy who would have a ukulele player for a girlfriend. But that's a good thing! I love the artistic types myself (my wife is an artist).

Thanks for being a good sport and everybody have a Merry Christmas.

My humble apologies to you d-basser, and welcome to the Dingwall Club as member #47

I know it in no excuse for not paying attention earlier, but my PC crushed badly (once again), lost more than 130G of data, had to re-boot everything and only now I am able to get back in line.

I have been a very good boy all of 2008 (in spite of the headache inducing ideas that I've made Sheldon suffer). So here is what what Santa brought me

An FD1 loaded Z2!!! It has a 3-pos mid frequency selector switch too!!! (instead of a 2-pos one). "No pics no bass" rules apply here so here they come

Based on the taper and the way it's winded, I'd say they are Dingwall strings.

Smallmouth Bass you are right. They are Dingwall strings

And its been a whole 30 days or so since you got that Super J-5! Not that the rest of us aren't jealous or anything!

I'm quite happy with my ABI, though.

The AB I is a superb bass on it's own rights. Initially, I bought my AB I to use it on rough gigs only to realize that is a value for money superb Custom bass
 
Here are some shots from NAMM:

First, some Combustions:

These things played and sounded great! And word is, they'll get even better! Sheldon just got them in right before the show.

Here is Vic playing a KILLER SJ5:

That was one of the best sounding basses at the show, for sure!

And some more fine Dingwalls:

The Z3 that I reviewed in issue #2 was there, too. So it was nice to see an old friend. :cool: Man, what a bass!
