Dingwall Owners Club

Well the 20 year old Z1 showed up today. @jwr did a great job packing it up! Not flawless by any means, but she sure is a player. Went to go change strings, and found out that the saddle pins are a little too big for current dingwall strings. Going to have to reach to @Sheldon D. for some replacements. Definitely has more zing than my AB1, smoother than my combustion. I was worried the neck would feel too thin, but so far it feels pretty similar to my AB1 if not a little faster.

I love my pre-fire Voodoo Prima and my Z2 four string from the same Era as yours. It has the same three band EQ and the mid center freq switch. Bart pups as well.

The Barts have a nice growl to them that I really like. Not as clear as the FD3'S, but killer tone.

Congrats.
 
Very nice! Is that Super Sonic Blue?

The Sklar is actually Lake Placid Blue and the Z2 is Stormy Monday Blueburst. These images do not do either of these finishes justice. The Z2 looks like actual water and the Sklar is really hot rod'd out with sparkles etc in the color. Could not be happier.
