Bassman Sam Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I hope it doesn't sound like a Thunderbird. I want it to have a Dingwall voice, whatever that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvia Bluejay Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 [quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1457986289' post='3003721'] Looks great except the headstock. Something a bit more tbird-y kinda like they have with the Super P and J models would fit better to my eyes. [/quote] I asked Sheldon about the headstock and he replied that it needs to be so small to avoid the dreaded T-bird neck dive. Not a hint of neck dive here...

Silvia Bluejay Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 It looks absolutely fine to me, actually! He just grabbed any old strap and put it on the bass quickly just to show me, he didn't spend time adjusting it for the occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
