Sharing my current rig. Just got the Anagram today which I intend to use as flyrig. It’s as big as my Nintendo Switch I love it! Small board is still my meat and potatoes so it stays.

This just arrived! Bought the only stock in GuitarGuitar yesterday. Still keeping my analog board though.

Ah I see. My tone control functions like a normal Pbass would

I’ve never had a Canadian one but what do you mean with the tone control being weird?

Mine weighs at around 3.9kgs, I took it to a wedding gig in Grantham this weekend and survived a 30 song setlist with no shoulder pain. I've mostly used the P or the J tone only which covered most of my needs. I love the feel of the neck of this thing, rounded on the edges, not too chunky not too thin. It feels like a D but I'm not very particular whatever shape it is as long as it feels good when I hold and move my hand around the neck I'm good. It was comfortable on that 2 sets we played. I tend to roll off the tone knob a tad, it's the sweet spot for me. I bought the instrument from BassDirect without having tried any Dingwalls at all! Sure it is expensive as some people say for an Indonesian made instrument, but I've no regrets. I also like what they did to the pickguard holes on the knob and jack. Just remove the screws and no need to remove any washers on the knob and jack in case you need to remove the pickguard. If anything, I raised the action slightly higher as it was too low for my taste. Now, I'm just looking forward to put more miles on this instrument! Also not a fan of sunbursts. The green one looks good too! If it came with a tort pickguard I might have considered it! All I can say is, do it! haha Chad

Back to my 1st fave comp! Got it at such a super nice deal with a fellow basschatter.

Recorded a quick vid and soundclip yesterday: Excited to use this for tomorrow’s wedding gig!

Thank you! I'll try to record more and cover more playing styles too! But yeah, the bass can be gentle when you want it to. In my experience, it is super responsive with my playing touch from mellow plam mutes, fingerstyle, digging in, hard slapping and even picking. I slept late last night just playing around with it and I wasn't like this when I had my first Fodera and Lakland USA lol

It is! This bass covers so much for me already I really like it. I had to dial the tone back a bit, as its got a lot of bite! Probably the character of the pickups. I love the P tone so much!

Quickie Soundclips I recorded: Drum and Bass Groove Dingwall Groove.wav Charlie Puth - Boy Boy Dingwall.wav This bass is just so easy to play! I had to raise the action a bit as it was too low for my taste, I like a bit of force when fretting

Agree! Hello fellow graphic designer!

Latest State of the Board. Still thinking if I should get a comp or a chorus pedal

NBD and my first Dingwall! Pic don’t do it justice. It’s prettier in person and is freakin’ light! Didn’t take long for my hands to adjust on the fanned frets

My Dingwall arrives tomorrow! So excited! Are the strap buttons in these basses Dunlop? I have a Dunlop straplok on my strap installed so it would be good if they come with it.

Not sure if prices will change in the future on Bassdirect but like you, £1950 is my limit as well. Could've just gone with a used Lakland Skyline tbh. But wanted to try something new and It's my first Dingwall so I don't know what to expect aside from what the forums praise them for. Just waiting for new updates from Bassdirect. Also, I'm on the same boat as you, for any bass I'm keen to get, 4kg below is my limit. More than that, I'd think twice. My heaviest bass was a Lakland Skyline which was 5kgs. Never going back again with such hefty bass! I'm looking forward to the SP1s though! I like a traditional precision body and the touch of Dingwall is realy something!

Just like the Lakland Skylines IIRC. Excited to get mine. Since seeing the metallic black, I'm having 2nd thoughts with the white one on my way, maybe I can still ask BassDirect if I can still change

Excited to receive the "ÿour order has shipped" email from Bassdirect! They are due to arrive soon last time I messaged them which was 2 days ago.

I dig the all black setup! Beautiful!

Nice! Hoping I get mine too soon! I’m so excited!

Nice! Where’d you order from? Getting the same one from BassDirect.

BB435 into this board is 🔥

Same here. Bass direct pre-order price is also better than Andertons. I watched an interview where Sheldon mentioned the SP1s will be lighter as the body is slimmer. Hope it's light. My heaviest bass is a Lakland 55-02 skyline which weighed around 4.9kgs. Sold it. Currently using a Yamaha BB435 which is 4.2kgs but still looking for something light.

Going small this weekend while waiting for my Anagram which has been delayed
