New Custom Dingwall day - Afterburner 6 w/wenge neck and eyeball-frying finish

[Mwoit]

Good lord, that sounds great. How fresh are the strings in the recording?

Does this mean you're retiring your Combustions to back up basses?

 

[-Nolly-]

Cheers! The strings are rather fresh, but the bass did make a transatlantic flight with me - in my experience the temperature changes normally results in all sorts of condensation that can completely kill the sound of the strings by the time it gets to the other end. These ones seem to have held up well but were definitely zingier before the flight. The more played-in strings on my Combustions got completely destroyed though!

My Combustions are still my workhorse basses, they're tuned for the main tunings we use. The Afterburner will come out for Ragnarok and Ji once we start playing that, plus a lot of the newer material seems to be in that range too. It's also my main jamming bass at the moment since it has the standard tuning up top

erm this may be a stupid question, but i've asked many other people to no avail, but what is the scale length or as i should say the range of scale lengths the bass has.. like 35-37? or something else entirely

thanks

and congrats making me very jelly

That F# is huge, I love it.

Also, had to put on Simple Boy after listening to the clip.

I think they are all 37-34

That F# makes me so excited to embrace 35+ !

Being a 6-string this is one is actually 33 1/4" on the short side

 

[capoeiraesp]

I am turning for wenge. Beautiful straight grain on that.

 

[axxessdenied]

Insane!!!!!!

 

[GTBD7]

Can I have your address so I can come steal it? K thanks.

 

[meambobbo]

I think you need at least one more string on there to get even lower. My jorts have only been mildly soiled.

 

[Jlang]

Holy shit man... that is SLICK. Im in love with the color and pickup placement.

 

[imprinted]

That, is glorious. And helps solidify the fact I NEED a Dingwall in my life.

Congrats Nolly, it looks delicious!

 

[xplanet2112]

I am flabergasted about that low F sharp existing on a bass and then how short the scale is, it's unreal!! Credit goes to the wonderful craftmanship and hard work to produce this and thank you for sharing with us.

A fantastic musical instrument!!!!!
