Dingwall Super P Far East model?

[NJE]

I have just watched a short video on Dingwall’s Instagram showing some models from guitar summit.

 

Sheldon shows two prototype Super PJ basses which he says are new models maybe coming out next year. I am hoping they are going to be far east made versions.

 

I have commented a couple of times on their posts that they should do a far east Super P or J model and always had a cryptic reply or a like, so hopefully one is on the way.

If only they could make these at the same price as the 40th anniversary squiers!

The Bass Buddha shop in Denmark confirmed in their Instagram stories that it was an import super PJ.

Waiting for the 5 string model that will inevitably appear!

Potentially difficult for Dingwall with regard to price/performance/features.

 

If they're too good, they'll undermine their other models.

 

If they're too expensive, people will trade up into the next echelon of Dingwalls or buy another brand. 

 

If the quality's not there, word will spread and players will avoid them. 

But how to achieve this at a reasonable price point?

 

If they did a 2 or 3 J pick-up passive 5 with a Rosewood board for <£800-900, sign me up.

My guess is that they will be around combustion and DRoc standard prices so roughly £1700.

 

The NGs are over 2k now but they have the Darkglass preamp and matching headstock, so probably a bit more labour and cost in those.

 

If the quality and consistency is like the other Far East made Dingwalls I have played I think they will do well.

I'm pretty sure the Super PJ 5 on the bottom row is also an import..

 

 

@NJE I reckon you're probably on the money with those prices.

I would love to see an Ivan Far East PJ

Check out from 06:56. According to Sheldon, everything is different - the pickups, the body, and the headstock. Everything. He hopes that they will be a hit.
