[quote="fullrangebass":10soqg0z]Apart from joining a band that has opened for Iron Maiden and Dokken (been around for 20 odd yrs) and trying to get things rolling back to normal (at most levels really) after my father's passing 6months ago, nothing really exciting.
Well I do have a recent story and I think it's a funny one. I set up my Dingwalls to record some bits and pieces, 2 weeks ago, and my pc did not recognize my sound card!!! and never it did "see" the sound card ever since!!! The very same night I joined the house band at a well known place (with my Dingwall of course). Once I stood up, played and then stepped down, my friend's digital cam (that captured the Dingwall in the bandstand and the songs too) FROZE and the clip was lost!!!

Is it some kind of global plan to keep the Dingwalls the best well kept secret in the music industry? I'm inclined to think that. At least there were people (living proof) there that had an encounter of the third kind with the Dingwall

Hopefully more and funnier stories in the near future[/quote:10soqg0z]
Interesting. Last week at rehearsal, I had my laptop set up to record as I always do...and the USB controller blew out. No interface, no USB functionality on my laptop at all from now on! Luckily I squeeked a bit of cash and a great deal and ended up with a new Macbook Pro...
...I'm not waiting for a SJ-5...Instead, I'm fighting anxiety since Dingwall Sales emailed me about a month ago to tell me that they were getting close to working on my new Z-1!
Before that call, I wasn't suffering the wait...but now that it's a reality, I'm thinking about it a lot more!
