deepbass5 Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 I Think Lefay range are really nice but the price isn't as good looking Here is one they are showing in stock I would like to get my hands on, A fan fret Herr Schwarz 5 which is a contradiction as this one is in Ash not black What dya think.

Musicman20 Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Have you seen the rosewood/maple combination fretboard on the Dingwall site?! Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 And the colours on Al DiMeola's 'rainbow' guitar are in the wrong order. Schoolboy error! Quote

Sheldon Dingwall Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 I'd like to try the LeFay sometime. I think their work is brilliant. Quote
deepbass5 Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Well Sheldon, you sure know how to stop a thread dead in its tracks. On behalf of all that admire your work a Very Merry Christmas. Quote

Anyway, I thought it was really cheesy and naff looking, especially when you compared it something like Al Di Meola's Rainbow PRS... [/quote] I like that a lot!! Quote

charic Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I had a thought last night. Has anyone done a fanned fret pbass? We all know that a P bass is normally great a cutting through the mix. Imagine how could it could be also imagine how good it could look if you used the dingwall super j aesthetics! Quote

I'd really like to do it in the original P style with the big black pickguard and sharper edges. Quote
charic Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Cool! Take your time I can't afford it at the moment. If you need a tester then give me a shout Quote

Meenie Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Ive been talking to a few luthiers about modding up my five string T-Bird with fanned frets, unfortunately the price of the work makes it a bit prohibitive, so ive been drooling over the Dingwall's too. Looks like the perfect answer to all my drop tuned intonation issues. Any chance of a Dingwall T-Bird Sheldon? aaah, go on, you know you want to! Ive made myself come over all perculiar just thinking about such a beast! Quote
deepbass5 Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 A 'P' Bass Fanned Fret !!! It would have to be a reverse P pickup to sound right, has a certain Bearded Gentleman been pushing for a distressed Salmon pink double reverse P Bass per-chance Quote

It would have to be a reverse P pickup to sound right, has a certain Bearded Gentleman been pushing for a distressed Salmon pink double reverse P Bass per-chance[/quote] I have actually asked Sheldon in his forum if he would be possible for him to fit the P-Bass pickup in the inverted position and this was his reply: [quote name='"Grand Wazoo"']Sheldon are you of the Church of inverted P-bass pickup[/quote] [quote name='"Sheldon Dingwall"']I am on all of our pickups except the SJP. The reason being that when reversing them on a fanned-fret they get really spread out to the point of cutting through the pickguard. This in itself wouldn't be so bad except that we want a universal rout under the pickguard so that people have the option of switching out at a later date.[/quote] Quote

I've got a bunch of products that I need to finish with then I'll take on the D-bird. Quote
