I've only just come across these slightly cheaper models which Dingwall produce and I've been thinking about getting a fanned fret bass for a while. With the price these are set at, I feel it may well be worth a punt having never played a fanned fret bass before, but if anyone here has played one I'm more interested to know what the build quality and sound are like. Is there a noticeable drop in quality from the standard Canadian built basses?
