Dingwall Owners Club

Where are you located? I'm in the US and it worked fine for me.
They worked for me as well and I'm in the same city as Nate. Thanks for finding those, eloann. I've been curious for a while what the differences were. I think I need to play those through better speakers and toggle between YouTube Windows to better compare each clip to its opposite version.

Typical to a Dingwall, no really unusable tones there, just different ones for different applications.
 
Yeah, when I saw the Orange 4 string at NAMM I remember thinking, "that's the one!". Be interesting to spend some time with it in the privacy of my own home. Heck, even saved a pic of it on my phone:

The Orange is becoming my favorite color of the NG2's.
If I were sitting on a pile of gold like Smaug's, I'd get up off of my fat dragon butt and ask Sheldon nicely to build me one like this:

His "vintage burst" rocks!!!
That is the EXACT bass I have on order! I saw that Vintage Burst and immediately said, "Yeah, that is beautiful"!

Payson is coming out with a line of flats - I know he was doing pre-orders not long ago, though I'm not sure what the latest news is (I don't play flats, so I didn't pay close attention to it).
I just put a set of these on my SPJ5 and really like the rich focused tone they have.

Are there any plans to add flatwounds to the Dingwall line of strings?

The Payson Fanned Flat's are ready to go. Pre-order's are being taken.

I've been on a transcribing spree lately. Here's Opeth's and Periphery's latest singles both played on my Super P through the Line 6 Helix (Sorceress is a stock SVT patch ; Marigold is a custom one)
Tab links (GP5 & PDF) are in the Youtube comments.



Nice. Do you use the Helix live or just for recording?
 
NG2 has arrived. Bass sounds awesome and Happychicken set the bass up beautifully before he shipped it (a little too beuatifully, I probably need to bring the action up a bit). Things that surprise me so far:
1. While only a four string, the neck feels beefier than my Super PJ5
2. Definitely prefer the sound when active, but the actual tone tweaks aren't adding a whole lot for my use

In general I bought this as I'd been wanting to try out an NG2 since they came out and I've been thinking I need to go back to a 4 string as my main insturment, so it'll be interesting to see how well I ultimately get along with this.

Happychicken is a good dude! That is a great looking bass, maybe one day I will get another, but I will want a four Banger!

@Smallequestrian that PJ5 is beautiful.

Speaking of which, an upcoming lifestyle change is prompting a gear purge. I've listed two beautiful super Ps, both of which are incredible instruments, and I intend to keep whichever one does not sell right away. You've seen them both listed before. Please don't let my whimsy and capriciousness convince you that the instruments are to be avoided. Both are 100% worthy of Sheldon's name. I may start a thread detailing my recent train of thought, but in the mean time, please be assured that this is a simple gear purge to help get financial affairs in order for the aforementioned lifestyle change.

I've listed both because one has to go and I can't decide which one I want to live without (I have mentioned that the blue one is a bit more scooped than I prefer, but god look at it), so I'm letting the buyer decide it for me.

For Sale - Dingwall Super P5 7.5lbs

For Sale - Dingwall Super PJ5

Other things going in the purge:
For Sale - PRICE DROP Late 30's Czech Gamba 7/8 Fully Carved
Fearless F112
Monique Tardis (still wrestling with this one)
For Sale - Music Man Silhouette Special HSS
mobile stage lighting
AKG IEM system

PM or watch classifieds if interested in any of this stuff.


Thanks dudes and dudettes.
