Are we expected a slight price increase in Dingwall basses too as the pickups contain neodymium?

We don't use enough neodymium to warrant a price increase. We'll eat this one. There are a lot of other costs going up than make neodymium look pretty tame though. Housing, labor, freight, materials, regulatory compliance etc.

No replies from the boss with prospects of a Tele Dingwall bass, a Super T!!

If so, sign me up If not, please do consider the idea. While I like Thunderbirds and would definitely want a D-Bird when it finally goes into production, I'd want an E-bass (Super E?) even more; it's a design I've always liked, even more than the Thunderbird. Fanned frets would look awesome with the angular body.

There have been these 2 "teaser" sketches going around, but we don't know what became of them. [img:39374sv3]http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r200/xt660/Tbird.jpg[/img:39374sv3]
