Woodinblack Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 When the D-Bird comes out as a 5 it would be pretty hard to resist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my dream bass pretty much. I even posted it in the dream bass thread last week. From their other posts it looks like Dingwall have got an entire other workshop being set up to work on the combustion line basses to try and speed up production. Seems to be a successful area. Glad this is going to be one of those lines rather than just the special order ones. That would be considerably outside of my price range.

Mykesbass Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 That D-Bird!! That headstock!! Think I have gas.Thanks @gingerfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendall Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Much as I like the look of the D Bird - that purple combustion is a thing of beauty - always wanted a purple bass - no idea why, but I want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Dingwall have slowly changed the few small niggles I had with the NG2 which, in my head, kept me from buying one. I didn’t like the squared pickup shells, I never really liked the old bridge pieces and I always thought the triple pickup config looked the best on almost all of their basses. This new model could cause me a bit of trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I think I read that the NG2 now has a slightly slimmer neck too - front to back. That would get me in trouble as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronJ Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Sweet baby Jesus. Briefly held a D-Bird at BassDirect once upon a time and it was just so nice. Great weight & balance. Didn’t plug in but I heard someone else playing it and it sounded great. Edited January 16, 2018 by CameronJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronJ Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Bass porn of the highest degree. Even the strings trees make me tremble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 D-Bird looks great. Not keen on the DG bass but then again DG pedals etc aren't my thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigwan Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I bought an Afterburner 4 just before Christmas to fend off D-Bird GAS... Seeing these pics... It hasn't worked.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz39 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The vintageburst on the D-Bird is amazing; but it's a 6er Combustion I want. Mmm So nice. Am loving all the new colour finishes they came out with - there's one for NAMM with a white back and coloured top that is just ridiculous. I don't know how much they pay the person who designs and develops the finishes, but they need a raise! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I'm really liking the new Hipshot monorail bridges on those NG3's and the production D-bird. I'm looking forward to the lefty NG-2 and Combustion they'll (finally!) be releasing later this year. Can't wait to get my hands on one. I will reluctantly have to sell some stuff to be able to afford one, but I've been wanting one for years and now they'll finally be here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I'd guess in and around £1100 for the D Burd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz39 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 It’ll be similar to Combustions I imagine: £1,200-1,400 for this years models it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
