My only quibble with my old Lee Sklar Sig was the lack of third Super Fatty, now this.... I drooled over that colour when I saw it too... Yum!

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I created a topic in General Discussion as well, but I’ll paste it here to copy those who follow Dingwall: I’ve put a deposit down on a Dingwall. I opted for a Wenge neck to go with the Wenge fingerboard rather than the maple neck. I think it would look better with a Wenge neck and I’m also led to believe it would have a more compressed/grindy sound compared to the Maple which I’m just fine with. It appears that if I commit to the Wenge neck it will push delivery towards the end of 2020 and if I revert back to Maple (which I could have blacked out anyway) then it would bring delivery forward significantly. I have to admit that the Wenge neck was an afterthought, but once I had considered the option, I really fancied it. I’ve not had the opportunity to play a Dingwall with a Wenge neck so I’m now wondering what I should do. I’m not in any rush to get the bass, I’m just wondering other than the difference in look, would the wait be worth it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 In a word, yes. It's all down to personal preference, but i find wenge aesthetically and tonally the best choice for a neck wood overall, and I believe off memory Sheldon actually recommends Wenge on custom builds, or historically has. It will be great either way, but the Dingwall wenge necks are something special, and whats a few months when its a custom build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is generally what I thought regarding the custom build/wait time. For a bass that is going to cost what it does, the wait time shouldn't really come into it. Your thoughts regarding wenge are much appreciated 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbloke Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 NG3 5 string in Mopar Purple. Sitting next to what has been my main bass for 18 years. Both variations on purple. 5 strings, maple necks, alder bodies and active, but the similarities very much end there. I've had the Dingwall since last Thursday and I'm gobsmacked by how good it sounds and feels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz70 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Can't post a pic yet ( hopefully very soon ). I'm expecting my D-roc Standard 5 string in blue/purple colour shift sometime in March. Ordered it for my 50th birthday last June. Starting to get a bit excited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
