Nice bass, Nic.
A year after I got my Voodoo, I started to wonder about the AB. I'm not thrilled about taking the Voodoo to every gig, so I e-mailed Sheldon to ask him if he thought a player who started on one of his high-end basses would be happy with an AB. I never heard back on that e-mail (but I have on countless others). Maybe it's a dumb question. At any rate, the praise that the ABs have received in this forum prompted me to take the plunge, and I am eagerly awaiting delivery of my AB1 in February.
Dingwall-addiction syndrome (DAS) can be acquired as Frank described, but it also works the other way... I'm already planning my third Dingwall, an AB1 fretless, and I have yet to take delivery of my second one. Sadly, there is no known cure for this illness. Hmmm...you know, I've always wanted a 3 string bass...
