FDC484950 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) I finally joined the Dingwall club. ABZ5/3 with the series/parallel toggles. Beautiful bass. Edited December 18, 2021 by FDC484950 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E sharp Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I agree, that Z3 is stunning. Prices of the Canadian Dingwalls have unfortunately gone through the wall in the last year. Awesome bass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices of the Canadian Dingwalls have unfortunately gone through the wall in the last year. Awesome bass Thanks, it really is something special. Of course I'm a bit short on kidneys now...... When I got the Z3 a big chunk of the payment was covered by a trade of an AB1, a Zon Sonus and a Rob Allen Mouse (still regret the last one), but it only took about 10 minutes to decide. For the ABII fretless I had a Sandberg TM2 fretless to trade so it was a much bigger chunk of change, but that took about 3 notes to decide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_lindsay Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) My Dingwall Combustion 5 I had a clear pickguard made, to show off the quilted maple facing. I also changed the control knobs for Sadowsky style ones - much easier to identify the settings. It's a shame I'm sellng it - such a cool bass.

I'm thinking of getting a tortoiseshell one for mine - where did you get yours from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_lindsay Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) A luthier friend of mine made the clear pickguard - using the original plate as a template for the new one. And, the bass was sold - to Yan_Hurley on this forum. Edited March 30, 2022 by kevin_lindsay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 My first (and definitely NOT my last!) Dingwall. An NG3-5 with upgraded Hipshot USA tuners, bridge units and Dingwall knobs. This bass has effectively changed my life. I've never dug 5 strings until now and it's made my poor Status, Fender & Music Man basses redundant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowregisterhead Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I had a second-hand 2-pickup Combustion over a decade ago, and although I loved how it played, I could never get it to sound the way I liked, despite pickup upgrades etc. I bought this 5/3 new a couple of months ago, and it's a very different animal. I upgraded the FD-3N pickups to a set of Super Fatty II's, which gave a subtle lift in the mids and overall warmth of tone, and my other basses (Lakland, Bogart, Status) don't seem to get a look-in now. After going to hear Sheldon Dingwall speak at guitarguitar in Epsom a couple of weeks ago I'm considering a Canadian build, but they're well beyond my budget for now. There's a very nice AB1 on eBay at the moment though... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
