I am jealous.
All I know is the Asia built Dingwall I have is an amazing build and great quality. Can’t imagine spending more for one
agreed!
I even like the finishes on the Combustions more than the Afterburners
I’ve done it now. I was going to have Gustav at Lignum build me a 5-string modeled on the Super J, but after getting Pierre’s email today announcing the next set of SP-1 arrivals, I decided to get a 5er in white (for about the same money as I’d have paid Lignum). It’s due the end of July. Bass Freaks is also getting 4s in the other 3 finishes, including the new Green. Now, I’ll have my own Ebony and Ivory!

I really want the white one….
See above!

but after getting Pierre’s email today
Haha, I got it too and immediately thought of you
Congratulations!!

Bass Freaks SPRL in Belgium.
Slightly off topic, sorry
I ordered a Dingwall from them last year after many exchanges on color and so on. Decided to order a bass that was coming to them in the next few months. When the bass arrived at their shop, they saw a small issue (small scratch on a screw) that I probably wouldn’t have seen and not impacting anything besides pefection . They emailed me immediately, apologized (for something they could do nothing about), offered solution and canceled my order with no question when I decided to go for perfection
kudos to them !

I decided to get a 5er in white
Very nice!!!
Sweeeeeeet
Beautiful bass ! I have the Dingwall ROC and I am very happy with the sound and especially the ease of playing!

Yeah… well, the US is just going to have to get used to this, unfortunately.

And US expats. All of my income is in US$. 99% of my expenditures are in EU€. For a long time, the exchange rate was pretty stable around $1.06 to 1 €. Now, it’s close to $1.16 to 1 €. This tariff nonsense is costing me about 10 cents on the dollar. And it’s getting worse.

tariff nonsense
At least you will have a better future, cause of the tariffs, or so I heared

And US expats.
Luckily for me I am paid in both dollars and yen so it hits me less hard, but yeah.
