He's holding that info from us to help build suspense. He probably pulled the wings off of flies as a child.
Bob - SmallEQ's only hint was that the finish on his new bass was inspired by the Dark Plum SJ NAMM bass.

Burned ants with a magnifying glass?? Captured honey bees in glass jars?? Oh, wait. That must have been someone else .....

Fired the deposit off last night, going to be a long 6-8 months!
Hopefully it will fly by for you. I ordered mine beginning of December, now 2 months have gone by, it seems in a flash. Gratz btw.

The 'saving grace' is that you have a nice one to play in the meantime.

Random Dingwall thoughts...
I've been gigging my Super J/P4 around town lately...get plenty of compliments on the looks and sound, as well as a lot of "what's up with the frets?!," comments. I've handed mine to many bassists to shows that fanned frets are really easy to adjust to. It sure does sound good
Since I briefly owned a Super P4 (which I traded for my Super J/P), the one thing I did prefer (slightly) about the SP was the neck. I emailed Dingwall to ask about the option of putting a Super P, Maple/Pau Ferro neck on my Super J. The price quote quickly helped me love the skinnier maple fingerboard I already have

I guess the silver lining is that you only slightly preferred the SP neck.
The fanned frets are definitely a conversation starter with the uninitiated. How are you 'running' the bass?
They are all but identical, at least on the fivers.
Yet another benefit of owning a Super P5 and a Super J5.
Dukeorock was definitely referring to four-strings. The SP is both wider at the nut and deeper front-to-back compared to the SJ.
That's good to know. Thought I was missing something. (Frequently the case, lately.)
The Super P neck is on my P/J. I like the Indian Rosewood.
The Super J neck is on the Super P...temporarily, as it awaits a custom fretless (ebony) neck. Due sometime this spring. 'In the queue!'

I thought the SJ NAMM bass was Black Cherry. The Sklar was Plum.
I just got a "second chance" offer from Ebay on the bronze age Super J 4. I guess the sale fell through.
It's pretty tempting at $1550.00 but a sober consideration of needs vs wants has prevailed. I'm going to pass.
Here's the link, I hope somebody grabs this killer deal. I'm not sure how the second chance thing works, but it looks like a buy it now deal.

Looks like the "second chance" is aimed at me. Sorry if I got everybody worked up. Feel free to contact the seller. I don't know why he just doesn't relist the bass.
The auction seemed to end early, I remember checking in the last day and being surprised that it had ended, and vanished. Like the fabled gold of Eldorado...
