Killer Dingwall's

[bubinga5]

Just looking at the DingWall site..WOW..check the J basses out... Killer!! Sheldon Dingwall is pushing out some amazing work... the Z3 and Z2 are also impossibly beautiful..! i think his basses are way better looking than any out at the mo...just stunning..

[Chris2112]

I get the feeling your Modulus could soon be going the distance to fund a Dingwall!

I've always liked the look of the Prima basses most...



This one here is owned by a Talkbass user, always struck me as particularly fine top...



I like this one too...

[bubinga5]

My word Chris..that one with the flame maple top is smokin...BUT..no GAS here... apart from a certain Lakland for sale.. they are way out of my league at the mo... My Modulus is all the bass i need, its the bomb..... ...but damn that Laky!!!

PS i love the Prima artist's lower horn...looks a little like an Fbass.... he is really on his game.. i wonder how many people are put off by the frets..they shouldnt be

These are incredibly versatile, I will get a super j dingwall one day. They sound... for lack of a better word, immense!

Nice choice, well done and welcome to the.... "bright side"

I'm guessing, having read what Sheldon has said about these basses, that I might find great use for one in the studio playing a wide range of tunes as I often do. If the string to string timbre is so evenly matched I can imagine them being well behaved at the desk and thus a pleasure to work with!

An ACG and a Dingwall in the same collection would be killer

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

like the green one

Dings are great but watch out the Germans are coming ....LeFay

[Grand Wazoo]

The more the merrier, it's a great concept and it's only fair other manufacturers are expanding on this design with their own versions.

Do I sense kubicki influence?

[Chris2112]

I'm not really seeing the obvious Kubicki influence, but I do like the look of that. I think that kind of "massive pickup" style pickup cover is a useful thing given that so many people like playing with ramps these days.

[Grand Wazoo]

if anything the body reminds me of a Vigier Passion bass

[Chris2112]

To me it has a slightly more elegant look than the Vigier.

i really really like that..

[Chris2112]

As good as the LeFay effort is though, the Dingwall name is still synonomous with fanned frets, even more than the NOVAX name...how ironic! It's like saying "the best boutique bass made in New York City" everyone is thinking Fodera!

[JTUK]

I must be getting old...but I can't go for any of them.
Just too fugly even if some of the woods look nice

[dbass]

That LeFay bass, in my humble opinion, is one of the ugliest basses I've ever seen! Urgh!

This one is probably my favourite out of all the ones I've seen:

[risingson]

Everything about Dingwall's shouldn't be my thing by my usual standards (I love the Fender looks) but I will most certainly be looking at their Combustion's in a few weeks time when I get down to the Gallery next. They look awesome.

I remember seeing that, was it Talkbass where I first saw it? Anyway, I thought it was really cheesy and naff looking, especially when you compared it something like Al Di Meola's Rainbow PRS...

cheesy and naff looking you may think Chris, but the colours are painted as a rastafarian symbol of unity and symbolize peace... and played by such a man..
