NJE Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno1981 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 If only they could make these at the same price as the 40th anniversary squiers! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDean Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 The Bass Buddha shop in Denmark confirmed in their Instagram stories that it was an import super PJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfalex v1.1 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited September 27, 2023 by Lfalex v1.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killerfridge Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I would love to see an Ivan Far East PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldon Tyrell Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
