As one Spector Brother to another, happy NBD, and welcome back to the Bird nest. Would love to hear your rundown on the Dingwall after you've got it all dialed in. Specifically, are the fanned frets hard to get used to if you go back and forth between basses, and how would you characterize the sound of the three pup layout?

Thanks man! I can answer the first part as I already have a Dingwall NG2. It took zero time to get used to the fan frets. When I received it, I just practiced along with our whole first album. I made one mistake on a note way high up where I'm used to having to stretch the pinky. Less of a stretch on the Dingwall. I have played gigs multiple times where I played the Dingwall for half a set and my Spector 435LX for half a set. No problem at all. Literally the biggest challenge was switching my cord around because the straight end works better in the jack on the NG2 than the right angle when playing my Spector.

Will give a full tone report when I get it.
