The New Dingwall D-Bird Standard (NAMM Content)

[MDBass]

Had the pleasure of sitting in with @Sheldon D. to demo the new D-Bird standard for Premier Guitar



The mic input was set a little too hot, so there's some clipping, but I'll do some cleaner tone samples once mine is delivered

 

[Raw N Low]

Probably the coolest iterations of T-birds on the market.

A T-Bird designed by Salvador Dali. Positively awesome. Wouldn't mind owning one at all.

Love Dingwalls.

Easter egg: There's a shot playing in reverse slipped into the video.

 

[el_Bajo_Verde]

Fiver?

 

[BklynKen]

That is hot. Still no left-handed models, huh?

I wish they hadn’t screwed the pooch on the black ones with the headstock color. Regardless, I’m interested in getting my paws on one to judge for myself. I should’ve gone to NAMM just for a test drive.

I'm going to rap with Sheldon about that and see if I can't convince them to do a gloss black center like the other two.

 

[BklynKen]

Freakin’ love their take on the pickguard, too.

Good luck. It’d be a shame for me to DIY fix it.

 

[MDBass]

Fiver?

They're planning on one, but the design is a ways off.

They're doing left handed Combustion and NG-2 basses, but no DBirds yet.

Probably the coolest iterations of T-birds on the market.

Certainly the coolest one I've played

Whoa, thanks. Last I knew they didn’t do anything in LH. Must revisit their site.

 

[bluesblaster]

what is the street price on this "production model" D-bird ?

~$1500 I believe.

 

[Garret Graves]

Thanks MD for a great demo! That bass is a stunner, watching for the 5

 

[Selta]

I might have to see if Chad/TheBassShop is indeed getting one of the Std DBirds in and make a run after it if so. It'll end up BEAD if I do.

They just debuted the lefties at the show
