And I completely understand that. I love the look of the basses and the feel of the necks (not so much the sound TBH) but, I'd love to see a paralleled fretted version. Just an observation and not a criticism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their waitlists as it is mean it’s unlikely to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a shadow of a doubt. Maybe Sheldon could release a "prototype" as an April Fools, just so we can see one 😉 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Hey look, they did another custom that I would buy if I had that sort of money: I do like the 4 string colours they have put out, if only they would stretch to having a full set of strings. That one, I assume will be even more expensive than the custom as it has darkglass distortion built in and some custom graphics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Saw that on Facebook yesterday. Looks very cool and it confirmed my suspicion that it was only a matter of time before Darkglass started adding distortion circuits to their on board preamps! I’m just patiently waiting for the D-Bird Standard in 5 strings. I can almost guarantee it’ll happen at some point, it’s just a matter of when. I can easily see myself being a 2 bass man - My Super P5 and a D-Bird Standard 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn’t even noticed the altered shape - looks like they’ve kind of given it the signature Dingwall elbow/shelf/curve thingy. Pretty cool.
