I was going to make a comment about how nice I thought that envy green looked on your 'ray, then I saw the Dingwall and my jaw dropped, absolutely stunning. How do you find the fan frets?

that dingwall is pretty

Dingwall mmmm...

I really like that, but I'm a sucker for black burst over flame or quilt.
The only thing that worries me about the Digwall is the angled pickups, I have two basses will angled pickups and I can't seem to find a comfortable point to rest my thumb while playing. What do you do? Or does your technique not have these issues?

Steve,

The fanned frets were surprisingly easy to get used to.It's more the look of them that freaks people out! It's only really the lower and higher frets that are a little bit of a stretch over a standard fretboard,but after a few plays,you get used to it.I recommend anyone to try one if you get a chance.As far as I know,I'm the only Dingwall owner in the Republic of Ireland.There's a chap in Northern Ireland called Al Niblock who played with The Commitments band who also has one.

BigRedX,
