Lfalex v1.1 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Uh... it's quite large, has too many strings and resembles a toilet seat. Not entirely sure it'd be to your liking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FDC484950 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Dingwall strings are great and have quickly become my favourites. Never had a dud string and great tone.BD don’t always have lots in stock so I also order from Thomann - last autumn I ordered 16 sets and they were in stock and delivered within 5 days so no problems with stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that the Dingwall strings are fine for 99% of players. Alas that my sweat is supremely acidic. I turned all the brass door handles black at my parents' house, and gold bass hardware goes green, particularly control knobs. Elixirs are a must for me, I'm afraid.

Last time bought anything large from BD they were still using APC, whose Nottingham Depot appears to staffed by useless layabouts. They wouldn't even answer the phone when their head office tried calling for me them to find out where my missing delivery was. As Mark was happy with the service he getting at his end, he showed little inclination to want to change at the time. Consequently I've not bought anything big from them since.
