I still have a totally irrational desire to buy one of these.
It’s the only current Fender that I have any interest in actually buying.

Yes, me too. I am technically not “allowed” to buy any more basses, but ATM I am keeping an eye on this one, the Aerodyne and the Yamaha BB734 - there is a fair bit of difference between all of these … 
… just window shopping!

I know what my gut is telling me, cancel the BB735A and shop and wait.
Every time I buy something that my gut tells me to buy its a win, when I force something it tends to be a crap shoot. Holding out though cause I have time, just in case.

Maybe you should try a different tack, find a cheap used 5 to see if you like them at all? I didn’t like 5’s - the string spacing bugged me even after a couple months. I’m glad I got it at a steep discount.

Most definitely a good tactical move @howard
I’m on my second cheap fiver and it’s up for sale after a very short time. I really just cannot gel with the thing even though it’s a really nice bass
I did, I had the TRBX305, liked the 5 in general, wanted something better in tone etc.

I think what I have come to is this…
I really like what he did here, it takes the dingwall to a whole new place.
I was not digging Dingwall due to some of the electronics specificity.
But what he did here is genius, and sounds insane.
I never conisdered modding such an expensive bass, but if it gets you to where you want…
Now just to figure out color.

They have a batch of black and white prepping to go out the door at the moment. Will probably be a few months before the next colours are available, unless you can find a dealer with inventory.
Have you looked at Sire and Cort?
There are quite a few available here in the states on Reverb.
Many gold like the one in the video, black, a couple of Ferrari green (which I don’t like). The gold is growing on me quickly. I would totally dig the white if there was an ebony fretboard, would love a ‘tuxedo bass’ one day.

There’s also the Black Forest Green.
It doesn’t get much publicity but one of my favorite colours for this model.

Ya there are a few of those too. Maybe the pics don’t do it justice.
Why not design and build your own. You can have the body design you like, the neck you prefer, and electronics that you like. It can be so out there. My first one I went with crazy headstock fretless, and the next one is a short scale multi scale with 30* fan fret angle. I’m debating one split p xtender or add a quad xtender as well.
Another video that shows that Lobster and I have basically nothing in common 
I’ll keep the stock Darkglass, thanks. I don’t want to make a Dingwall sound like a Stingray.

Didnt he mod a stingray with a tone capsule?

Probably?
I think you could probably come up with any random combo and he’s done it

I like his zeal to mod, but this one… was not an improvement imo 
The six way selector was a good call though, and passive with tone control.
