Just seen this on the Bass Direct site. 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! Thankfully I'm about £4,500 short...

[Dazed]

Just on the off chance any of you Super P or J or PJ 5 owners are thinking of selling or have one of these lying unloved somewhere - let me know 😁

I might have accidentally put deposit down on another Dingwall 😎.

I’ve just realised I’ve dumped myself out of the GAS Challenge 2020 😬

Since I've bought both my Dingwalls in the last month & am currently gassing for the Mopar purple NG3 at bass direct I wouldn't even consider entering the GAS challenge 😁

(Well unless it was a farting contest that is,my wife reckons I could win one of those 😁)

Can’t share pictures as it hasn’t been built yet.

It’s blue and it’s got 5 strings 😜

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?

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?

Thanks Kev. 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 👍

New scratch plate on my Combustion.

Much better than the matt black single ply stock jobbing.

[artisan]

Totally amazed just how good my new ABZ is,I thought the combustion was awesome but this is something else.

Soon... soon...

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.

[artisan]

My first Dingwall had the exact same effect on me.

 

[Dood]

I miss mine.

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.
