Dingwall is Canadian?

Just looking over an event at a local music store and they are having a promotion on Canadian made equipment. I saw in the list, Dingwall.

Looked it up, turns out 7 of the 9 models they sell are made in Saskatoon, SK!

Cool!

They have several models (the new SP1 included) that are made in Indonesia to Dingwall’s standards and then setup in Saskatoon before shipment to a dealer or direct to a customer in some cases. My new black SP1-4 (delivered) and white SP1-5 (due in 2-4 weeks) traveled from Indonesia to Dingwall in Canada to Bass Freaks in Belgium to me in France. Even after all of that travel, my SP1-4 arrived in perfect condition in a really nice custom Dingwall gig bag.

You don’t need us to do that :wink:

Yes @groaner they are Canadian and I’ve just ordered my first Dingwall!

Pretty excited about it. Not custom shop because I don’t have $7000 but it’s their made in Indonesia / setup and QC back in SK model - SP1

Nah, we love Canadiens and are sorry to see fewer around town. We talk shit about them but secretly we love them.

I live in a tourist town, (with a ferry to Victoria BC). We get a lot of tourists in, and I can tell you we would much rather have Canadien tourists than American tourists

Hi, @Wombat-metal, people from Canada are called Canadians . You have spelt it as Canadiens 2X. Just saying :slight_smile:

Thinking of the Hockey team apparently

Canadien is the French term which is where my family ties are from

I have several Canadian-born friends. Great folks, all.

All of us US expats will probably start telling people we’re Canadian.

My wife is pretty okay too imo.

I didn’t even wait till I was an expat to do that. I live with a Canadian so I can slip in to the accent whenever.
