Aren't all single-cuts neck-through designs? Neck-through isn't in the spirit of Dingwall, IMO. Nice Pavel, though, made in Keller, TX, BTW. Mark

Not all singlecuts are neck-through designs (even though many of them are). I've owned bolt-ons as well a set-necks (apart from the obvious neck-throughs). If a Dingwall was supposed to be a single-cut, I'd love it to be set-neck or neck-through.

I'll be working on one soon.

:drool: :drool: :drool: Please, please may I beam myself in your shop???? I'd love to see you creating it

[quote="Sheldon Dingwall":3ppnqhlc]I'll be working on one soon.[/quote:3ppnqhlc] Wow, now THAT was a reply I didn't expect. Lots of interesting things seem to be shaping up in Dingwalland after the Combustion, new pickups, a singlecut model... maybe an acoustic dingwall too?

Where do you find the time between production and getting all of this new stuff off of the ground?

It looks heavy.... I've played some at NAMM and they are heavy although I know builders can create chambers, etc. Fullie - in your experience what do you perceive as the main advantage of this design?

I've played some at NAMM and they are heavy although I know builders can create chambers, etc. Fullie - in your experience what do you perceive as the main advantage of this design?[/quote:1w5twpyk] Even though I've never been to a NAMM show, I've tried almost a dozen of singlecuts (I've owned 5 so far). What I'm saying is NOT science, just my opinion and experience. SO, IMHO and IME I prefer the set neck or the neck-throughs. The set necks I've tried they sounded "snappier" compared with the neck throughs. I feel that the increased contact surface allows for more "rapid" and "overall" dispersal of the pulse. Their attack is not as "quick" as the bolt-ons (normal or singlecut). My favorite singlecut , so far, is Ken's (Ken Lawrence) own Brase I 5str (now mine ). Heavy Northern Ash, maple neck, grenadillo f/b 35". EXPLOSSIVE sound. The second Brase I 5str I've owned, was swamp ash and the tone was more subdued (both acoustically and amplified). The R-Bass singlecut put many other boutique basses in shame (not only mine, but many others that were around from a 100+ bass collection!!!). The other SCs I've owned were great but not at that level of perfection I am talking here If Sheldon were to built one, I think I'd go for either a Z snappy tone or Prima full tone (it means two ), but I'm sure it'll be in line with the Dingwall heritage of sound!!!

I don't know if anybody has posted this, but I thought I'd share this here, too. It's a 34-37" fanned 6-string singlecut built by a TB member. http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showpost. ... stcount=72

I'm bumping this for great justice! Any news on the project?

Last I had heard- the project got pushed back due to the shop move and a few other priorities.

I would LOVE (love, love LOVE!) to post some of the Singlecut mockups I've done (I really like them), but as I understand it, the project is still top-secret at this point.

guess I should have re-read the thread before reviving it. I totally forgot Sheldon was working on one. Meh, his probably looks 100x better anyway.

No matter - it looks good, and keep learning your CAD It might be wise to move that post to a new thread. Just so that no-one mixes your Dingwall design with the official one.

okay-- i see you moved your thread... guess i'll move my response
