Grand Wazoo Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I am proud to announce that my new Super J is completed and ready to be shipped, I've got some great shots from the factory before it is shipped. I think it looks great. It will come with the parchment cream pickguard fitted, but I have also ordered the pearloid one so once it's here I can tell up close which one is to be kept on the bass. Meantime here are the shots of the finished bass! Quote
StevieC Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Congratulations there - Very tasty. The headstock is probably the nicest I've ever seen. I'd love to try out a Dingwall at some point. Steve Quote
mart Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Very pretty! But would you ever forgive me if I said it reminded me of this: Quote
gary mac Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) That looks seriously funky, love the fret board, you need to put a pic in Waynes thread on maple/blocks. Edited February 11, 2011 by gary mac Quote
niceguyhomer Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 That makes me moist - world class GW Quote
allihts Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Finish would look amazing with a pearloid guard! What's preamp in it? Quote
Noisyjon Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 That's just what I'd go for if I was getting a 5 stringer! Well done GW Quote

What's preamp in it?[/quote] Active / Passive Glockenklang 2-band. Passive treble auto switches this from their website [i]"Electronics on Prima Artist, Lee Sklar Signature, Z Series, Super J and Afterburner II Rotary switch All Dingwall basses (except Combustion) feature a 4-position rotary pickup selector. The pickup combinations are bridge pickup soloed, both in parallel, both in series, neck pickup soloed. Pre-amp - In the past we’ve used Bartolini, Aguilar and now Glockenklang pre-amps. These are all top-notch, high-quality pre-amps. What we like about the Glockenklang pre-amps is the smooth and subtle tone shaping and the Active/Passive treble control. We’ve spent a lot of time perfecting the natural tone of our basses so that they don’t need a lot of tone adjustment. The Glockenklang really fits well with this philosophy. The Active treble boosts and cuts as expected in active mode but when the pre-amp is switched to passive mode, the control is switched to a passive cut control. This is essentially like having two basses with two distinct characters. One active and one passive."[/i] Quote
Roland Rock Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 If I were ever to convert to the wonky side, a Super J would be the one. What a stunner! Quote
Musicman20 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Wow. Seriously nice. First Dingwall that has my attention. I'm guessing they are super expensive?! Quote

cocco Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 f*** me! That's amazing I love everything about it. Apart from the extra string which for me would just be a thumb rest. Sleepless nights set in yet? Quote

"Woooooo it's totally Cocoa Pops, mate!" one of them said, it snaps, crackles and pops! Quote
