The poll results are pretty wild!

Thanks for voting and comments!

I'm so close to a preorder. My wife has called me some lady parts for not doing it already. :roflmao:

Honestly, I just want to hold one before I do it. If I can hold an NG 5 of any kind, or even a Combustion, and noodle with it a second, I think I would go ahead and take the plunge.

I need to go meet up with @Nephilymbass :cool:

The only downside? "Estimated shipping date" of late September. :wideyed:

*PRE-ORDER* Dingwall NG-3 5-String Matte Pink Swirl *PRE-ORDER* Dingwall NG-3 5-String Matte Pink Swirl

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 would take it if it was given to me, but I wouldn't order that finish on purpose. Looks a lot like the shows those old gel with overhead projectors would put on at concerts in the late 60's. Definitely not something I'd order. If it was given to me, I would play it because Dingwalls have a great rep but I would NEVER order that finish. They do make a great looking Blue 5-string though. Now that, I would order:

That's the Lee Sklar signature. It's WAY more than two grand. :D

And, yes, it's freakin gorgeous.

Just go ahead and do it man! Worst case you can turn around and sell it no problem. Not too many of them are gonna be circulating and will be deseriable.... albeit to a limited crowd but still in high demand with in that crowd.

Just do it. And them wonky frets feel soo good. They are small banjo size frets, they are so easy to play on you will then think that parallel frets are now the wonky ones. As I do.

Whalepool Burst, it changes color in different lighting. Bright lighting it has more blue, yellow light more green and dark stage its almost black so it does not look to out there in some situations.

Did you catch the Bass Face in the wood? Just above the pickups where the arm rest while playing.

Here is a closer shot of the Bass's Spirit trying to escape before being sealed in.
