The CRAZIEST Bass Guitars Ever... (Dingwall Factory Tour)

[@thor7356]

4:06 "So players don't get that spret frout" loool, I'm glad to see someone else also accidentally jumbled those together. Having done that myself, I'm glad to not be alone lmao. Absolutely sick video tour!

[@Horseffect]

Haha, same here, however Andrew said it with some much conviction it's maybe becoming the regular term now

As a bass player, thank you to the guitar player touring a bass factory.

[@mynameiscalledtony]

Man Sheldon is just incredible. So knowledgeable on every aspect (no surprise), and you can tell he lives and breathes this stuff. Also super sweet of him to give you a bag with a custom string set he knew you'd like. I can't wait for the day I'm lucky enough to get a Dingwall!

. Usually you find out someone owns a Dingwall within 5 minutes of meeting them. "Hi, I'm John. It's nice to meet you and BTW, I own a Dingwall NG3."

[@TheStandard89]

I’m so jealous, I love my dingwall and want to tour that facility so bad

[@zadtheinhaler]

I met Sheldon a few times, one time before Dingwall had gone bass-only. He's a solid dude!

[@Z4blA]

Wow. I had no idea what goes into the process of making a Dingwall bass. From the extra steps of taking an already assembled bass and turning it into a perfect “weapon”, to the special woods that go into the custom basses, I can now really understand why those instruments are held in such a high regard. I know that once I’d be able to afford one, I’ll get one. Props to the Dingwall guys. Thank you Andrew for the video and thanks to Sheldon for showing us the factory ❤️🔥🤘

[@Jam_esd]

my left ear enjoyed this

[@IvanBassist]

Thank you for doing this Andrew & Sheldon 🙏🏽

Dingwall headless? 👀👀👀

[@hyperplayability6290]

They do have Simon Padalka now ;) Check out the Padalka Neptune bass!

[@MythixMusic1]

As a business minded person, this was so incredibly inspiring. Stoked to see Sheldon succeed and build such a killer brand. I can't get enough Dingwalls. Just want more

[@Bassic778]

Cool video!!! Sheldon Dingwall's technical knowledge, passion, and attention to detail is remarkable!

[@staubbibliotheks6733]

Thanks for the tour. It's just the damn magic of guitar birth.

[@stackedfat]

Nice dude. Good video. Thanks.

[@joaniepeters2565]

That’s good to know when I get a factory dingwall down the road it will be truly set up and quality controlled (a lot of even top companies don’t make sure the basic measurements are completely correct to the custom line, you have to take it to a luthier as soon as it comes in)

[@JoshuaMRichard]

Love that Dingwall is a Canadian company. I've never played one before but they look and sound really nice. 👌

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Sheldon is one hell of a dude!!! Owing a dingwall makes you feel like you’re part of the family, that’s cool they’re adding binding!

[@thenamessoul]

I like the “I’ll take your entire stock.” Reference that Baena made

[@RequiemDead]

Dingwall, absolutely phenomenal...Craziest, no, not quite!

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

Everybody needs to check out Ritter. They put tremolo systems on their basses and they even make their own strings in house. Some of their basses are built such that the entire length between nut and bridge is fretboard. The entire length is fretboard. The pickups are hiding under the fretboard. It’s wild

[@anunexpectedfire4062]

I’m happy Greg “The Hammer” Valentine has a successful post wrestling career. Nice guitars too.

[@VARVIS_]

Nice of Andrew to dress up 😂😂😂

[@DmitryBeykun]

bass at 22:40 looks like an expensive chess board.

[@glennbergevin7726]

Hell yeah binding. Black blocks and binding on a maple neck is my favorite neck.

[@ThatBeTheQuestion]

4:07 Man, I really do hate spret frout. 🤣

[@Sierra-xi2ty]

Awesome video.

Enjoyed the vid!!

[@nickfoster9350]

14:16 sounds like Lars' snare on "St. Anger."

[@Wyatt.D.Loiselle]

So you are telling me... That hopefully by the end of the summer... they will have their custom shop assembly line working at getting custom basses done in less than a year? AND a headless prototype??? I have been waiting for a headless Dingwall for SO LONG! If I knew that, I would have waited out getting my second NG3 lol. Love Sheldon and the crew at Dingwall. "Spret Frout"

[@TheAnderon666]

Great video. Really interesting.

[@sharnoldpapa7339]

Bought a Droc Standard a month ago, it is the best quality import I’ve ever played. Their QC step is extremely evident.

[@StephNeumeyer-n6u]

Just got hold of Dingwall combustion The bass and maple worked very hard and i dont think ever maintained It hurts my eye but tone makes up, living in South Africa otherwise i would have been visiting the family and having it restored 8:14

[@vectormusic0]

What is the black guitar hanging in the sanding room at 10:40. That offset body style is so sick.

[@jonraquet6629]

If they ever started doing guitars again I bet they'd sell like crazy

[@KrisSchwarz98]

"That machine used to make caskets." That's so fuckin metal. I'm surprised Andrew didn't say that out loud and cry laughing 😂😂😂🤘🤘🤘

[@SLAMDALORIAN]

Spret frout. Haha.

[@tOxIc_TrEaSuRe]

19:10 using an estimate of 6" of wire per turn it comes to about 4.4 miles per guitar. The problem is the earth is not a spinning space ball but if it was the size the edumacated you of by my math it comes out about 5700 guitars

[@99bajakid]

Dingwall makes the best basses hands down - Im just waiting for a black Nolly model to arrive in stock :)

[@daleonov]

Simon Padalka works at Dingwall now? Pretty cool!

[@ruinofspace]

Perfect place 🔥🤘

[@StephNeumeyer-n6u]

Really very versatile top tone best ive experienced and ive gone thru grt basses…. Immaterial of looks its my only bass i gig…. I dont even take a backup bass Thanks Sheldon tops and next level

[@cavetroll666]

love my D roc 5 import but am interested in the new fast lane bass they are talking about

[@metalheadblues]

That dingwall guitar looks clean tho , they should make more

[@johnnyduit]

2:12 ready to play line? aliexpres?? take it apart and level it, adjust it and you're done??

HEADLESSS??????? OMFG TAKE MY MONEY

[@RadityoPramAdi]

23:24 wait, a h-less prototype???

[@F3PIZZA]

If there isn’t one ding in the wall on this tour I’ll be pissed. Also, Slash doesn’t even play these, why does he have his own waiting area?

[@F3PIZZA]

Damn, that backpack looks fresh. Love the diamond stitching. I wonder if the level of quality matches his basses?

[@KittyHasToGo]

Wait, does dingwall actually come from dinging the bass heads into the wall?😂

[@MisterKarib]

Can the Dingwall backpack hold a Fractal FM3 ?

[@drumrnva]

Interesting and inspiring. Shoot more B-roll/closeups. 😉

[@Heart_Reaper1]

$3k for a bass made in China?! Never. This must be the Custom Shop.

[@basscliff55]

Question for Sheldon. Does Dingwall make headless basses, and if so Does it come in standard Frett?

[@Bassistking]

I'm a Warwick man but this got me thinking 🤔

[@opie999]

SPRET FROUTS LOL

[@shaunstephen9761]

1:45 surely it was Keith Richards who tried the dingwall guitar? He plays with 5 strings and it's not that common for guitar players to do that 🤔

You guys think Dingwall is wild? Check out Ritter.

[@fonkamex]

I liked it but I am a little bit disappointed about the fact they take the wood out of trees but they prefer they don’t know how. As a Canadian company they should care a lot where these wood are taken from.

[@satansforeskin8164]

I’m from Saskatoon and I didn’t even know this. Neat!

Stereo mic on the camera?

@@UndarZ mics are on their shirts, this was a conscious decision. Even if that was true, you can separate audio from video, he could've centered it easily when he was editing. Plus idk who is recording with stereo mics on cameras for videos like this.

[@jade_sage]

Panning your mics hard left and right is... a choice. Understand what you may have been going for, but it is overall more distracting than anything else, as the side the audio is on doesn't always correlate with what side the current speaker is on in the video. It just makes for a more distracting experience in an otherwise cool video. Please keep mics mono or at the very least, don't pan hard left and right, as there is nothing center to... well center the sound, makes it feel more empty, yet somehow overbearing at the same time. No hate, just an audio nerd trying to give some advice.

[@DavidKrautscheid]

[@CraftCreepzzz]

my god this guy is boring.... "mkay. mkay. mkay.". Get someone worthy in there infront of Sheldon

[@robertp457]

He’s letting Sheldon talk. Which is a lot better than interrupting him constantly.

[@honktm]

their basses would be great if they didn't cost 2000 euro minimum - for a "low spec" stock one....

[@13_cmi]

They are a bit pricey. They definitely should have some lower priced options. But that’s not for me to decide.

[@honktm]

@WorbyBass 💀

[@TenFalconsMusic]

I've heard a bass player make a £75 bass sound priceless. That being said, I've heard someone (at NAMM) make a £15,000 bass sound like £75.

Ferrari’s would be great if they were $20k, too.

[@LeeJoRo]

Im probably the only bassist here that doesnt iike Dingwall. Too big and bulky, and unnatural sounding But if you like them, more power to you (different tastes etc)
