Dingwall Owners Club

Contacted Devin Cline a few weeks ago.
"Hey I got a problem. I have 3 Dingwalls, and only 2 have your custom knobs on them".

Devin:

Devin Cline is the Picasso of custom knobs. He made these for me recently:

Three summers ago, I tripped over some gear in my music room, and realized I had too much stuff. Too much really nice stuff, and too many Dingwalls. Of which I was only playing one, the six string.

So I put everything up for sale. It was disconcerting at first. I figured it was time to examine my attachments. The plan evolved to sell everything and keep the last Dingwall standing, one gig worthy rig, and my looper. (Naturally, the six string was the first to sell!)

I started small with some pedals. Once the ball was rolling, I was surprised at how rewarding the process became. Amps, cabs, fx, basses, a guitar, ....how did I get all this stuff? My basement looked like a pack and ship shop for six months.

I'm down to one bass, a Dingwall Super PJ 5. And three years later, I'm still finding new tones. And it feels like home. She's strung E-C, and I don't really miss the B.

Nowadays, I don't miss any of the stuff that sold. But back then, it sure was a mindbender to decide to sell.

Anyway...good luck with the sales. Sometimes less is more.

I've had to put into storage everything but my 2 Dingwall's and 7 pedals. Sold a lot of stuff, but a couple basses are just too sentimental to part with. I'm selling one of those basses, but I miss all the fun options the big huge pedalboard gave me.

What I really miss is a real bass amp. I'm using my brothers old acoustic guitar amp, and soon will be playing in only headphones.

That sounds like torture.

Check out the DSM Noisemaker OmniCabSim Deluxe if you haven't. It's a good cab sim pedal with a nice headphone amp built in.
