See Sheldon Dingwall’s business listing here<\/a><\/p>\n

For anyone that has ever sold basses they built themselves, you may have had a customer that, without playing a single note, refused delivery of the freshly crafted instrument just received and sent it back. Reasons can vary for why the return happened, and in Sheldon’s story as described in the video below, it was about the balance of the instrument.<\/p>\n

Sheldon learned the lesson of bass balance from the experience and the knowledge gained is now put into every Dingwall made.<\/p>\n

Sometimes lessons are learned the hard way, and every bass builder that crafts and sells instruments goes through this. You could even say that it’s necessary for it to happen. However, in the end, valuable information is learned, the information is used with revising design(s), and the end result is a better bass guitar.<\/p>\n
