I mostly like natural but blackburst is really very sweet. I really dig it

The 'natural' finishes of the ABII series is one of the main reasons I sort of ruled them out for me...this on the other hand is a very nice and welcome development!

Looks awesome!

If the other ABIs with active electronics were ABI.5's, this one must be a...
ABII hybrid?

Definitions have become meaningless.

They're all just cool basses now.

I want !!!

There are so many unique ABIIs out there now and a handful of ABIs too. So much for being the "production line" basses!

Nice bass, by the way.

I have stressed many times that IMHO the AB line is a line of custom made basses with just fewer options (at some levels only). and this very AB II (along with few other AB's prove just that

Really nice bass!

+1. Well said.


(I should expect it to be, since it's coming from Sheldon or Dingwall Sales himself)

Looks good,

I had no such luck when I asked Sheldon to do an ABII in a colored finish. Maybe I should try again haha

My pomele bubinga top ABII-5 is starting to feel pretty ordinary!!

Or do you mean *look* pretty ordinary?

I'm just happy to be joining the Dingwall club FINALLY, I just paid the balance on an "ordinary" bubinga/mahogany ABII fiver at Bass Northwest, so it's on the way over to Sydney!

Man, that took a long time, EG. Glad you finally made it happen. You will be blown away by your Dingwall. Remember, in the words of [b:iepchwq5]FrankM[/b:iepchwq5], one of the grand-poobahs of this here forum: "Without pictures, we won't believe that you have one".

Great stuff! I think that's three in Oz now? Two more and it's time for a GTG...

Hehehe, yes, it did take a while, I couldn't decide which model and then I also had trouble raising funds in time to grab any good ones that came up. This one was really too good to pass up on, so it has been purchased with temporary Vapour-Funds snuck from my business bank-account. I guess that makes sense, as it's *still* only a Vapour-Bass until I have pics to show.

Hey, if I can successfully organise a Chapman Stick seminar in a country containing only a dozen Sticks, we should be able to do the same for Dingwall basses within the next year!

You know an Aussie get together would be really cool...only if someone had a nice custom Z-2 to show off, though...

Congratulations EG! I'm waiting for my first Dingwall as well and am really looking forward to it.
