Hi Sheldon. I just purchased my first Dingwall - a natural ABZ-5, and I'm very happy. For a long time now I've been looking for a 5 string acoustic bass. I can't find any acoustic that has the projection I need to compete in an acoustic environment. Someone told me that the Tacoma basses are the loudest acoustically that they've ever played. I've never played one and Fender has bought the company and don't plan to continue the line in the near future.
So, yeah, the long and the short of it. . . . do you have plans to build acoustics?
