New Dingwall NG3 in matte pink swirl.

[GBBSbassist]

I like it.

 

[Don M]

Just like this....

Yes!

 

[Toptube]

I think that bleach blonde maple board makes it all work!

 

[Hunch]

And me who thought blue LEDs on pedals was the apex of what is too grating on the vision....

 

[Derry Murbles]

Hard pass on that finish.

 

[Hunch]

I would love them to, instead, making a "Jackson Pollock" finish out of it. You know those "drip" paintings...

 

[jshinal]

You're going to need spandex pants and a sparkly guitar strap to match that.

But I love the fanned frets and cranked pickups and bridge. Go big.

 

[TheDirtyLowDown]

You may be able to rock that look. Not me.
Do it! Spandex and a pink headband might be necessary...

 

[redwingxix]

Super Rad! I love it.

And since it's hot pink my wife wouldn't object (If I was of a mind to go big on a new bass)

Honestly, I'm in the mood for something different. Believe it or not I like it. (Never mind that I bet it looks unreal when a black light hits it.)

I'm sure I'm in the minority here. But what say you?

I had a friend who had a pink ESP fiver, neck headstock and body. I borrowed it occasionally and the ladies loved it.
Nothing wrong with a pink bass. That one reminds me of a pink and black swirl painted Ibanez GEM that i'm pretty sure i saw Steve Vai playing.

Steve's guitars were more multi-colored.

You'll be hooked on Dingwalls if you go down this road. I haven't played a combustion or NG yet, but I would expect nothing but excellence from Dingwall.

I wouldn't ever expect to recoup the price of a brand new bass on the used market. I can say that the four used Dingwall I've had come and go, they were all stellar basses, and each recouped my investment.

So, I'm hunting a deal on a used NG-2 or3 four string. Right now, I think the prices on used NG's are on the high side, reflecting how new they are to the market and how rare on the used market. I saw a used Canadian built AB-1 four string go for less than the NG's are asking.

I like the swirls, but I'd prefer a solid color. The red, blue, white and black would work. But a deal is a deal, so we'll see what happens.

My current Dingwall, a glossy black Super P 4, is a keeper. 7.5 lb.

The NG's have the Darkglass tone capsule for the full active experience as well as a passive mode.

This was me a little over a decade ago:

This is me, now:

That bass confuses me and makes my brain hurt.

But I think I want it.

That's what happened to me. I was both appalled and fascinated.

Lookin' good for an old guy, Joe!

 

[Maynjo]

To me, it's not even that it's pink, it just looks like a pair of David Lee Roth's tights.

 

[Sharknose79]

....looks like pencils I had for school in 1967.

...psychedelic.

Dingwalls Kill, and they are one of the best basses I have played.

To me that's just great.
