Harlequin74 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Looks a very cool bass. I had the SB1000, which is still an awesome bass, but cant lug that monster around anymore. Dingwalls are 8lbs of fan fretted, tonal bliss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbunney Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I had my eye on ordering one of these when they were announced but missed out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlequin74 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I had the same answer - not their fault - just waiting for stock. So went for a nice NG2 , but with pickups in the combustion position will treat myself to a DRoc soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simisker Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Looks like BD have just had a fresh Dingwall delivery. So either the JT Rios were part of this delivery and some of us are about to get notified... or we're talking another couple of months until the next delivery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it happened this morning and they didn't know it was coming, I think it's unlikely. I've been in contact with BD this morning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simisker Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) Just to clarify: that's from me just looking at their site; I have no other knowledge. The last mention of these from BD was in one of their newsletters, mentioning "in the New Year", as I recall.

They did say the date had been pushed back and that they keep asking when they're likely to arrive, but nothing so far. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordislappa42 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 My enthusiasm has been rejuvenated also. After getting a phone call myself about the Rio basses landing soon. I did not know Bass direct had been allocated 10 out of the 82 units 😳. Thought they were only getting 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus DD being a British band, it probably makes sense to send a fair few to our shores. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
