Ali Express “custom shop” Dingwall knock off!

Recommended Posts

After a few beers at Christmas I ordered a knock off Dingwall from Ali express..

 

I woke up the next morning to an email from the seller asking what “customisations” I wanted.. what a treat.. a custom bass!!… so I went to town, orange finish, 3 x pickups, maple neck… and a custom headstock

logo!

 

It arrived this morning - it’s awesome!! Obviously it’s not actually a finely crafted, custom instrument - but the finish is pretty clean and it sounds good, all the electrics work and it’s very playable!! The hardware is a bit lightweight… but for £279… it’s a lot of bass!

I’ve been drunk many times in my life, but never Ali Express Dingwall with a Tesco logo drunk

Tesco Value, not even Tesco Finest? :D

I just got my custom bass body from AliExpress, ordered a couple of months ago but they were very busy.IMG_0074.thumb.jpeg.d8eedc77bf91a78a0ddf29efd61e38da.jpeg

 

I’ve had to make some adjustments to the neck pocket but that’s to be expected when they didn’t have the neck to check it. Overall I’m happy with it, pretty nice work and finish.

This does not help my GAS for an 8 string... :D

Is the price you’ve quoted including VAT, import duty or delivery?

It included delivery - There was about £60 import on top 👍

How’s it sound? Could you post a demo for us??

It sounds pretty good!! No buzzes or hums and the active EQ works well - I’ll pop a video together at some point soon 👍
