      I have had the opportunity to talk to Sheldon Dingwall and try out his basses. After just a few minutes that bass jumped to the top of my wishlist. His basses are incredible!!

      I have played a Zebra 5 that belonged to a fellow bass player. Fanned frets don't take that long to adapt to and a 37" B string is truly something to hear!!!!

      Sheldon even frequently shows up on the user forum connected to his website.
