  • Dingwall basses, unfortunately, are made with leather by default. HOWEVER, they specialize in custom basses, and by request, you can get a custom bass made vegan using synthetic felt.

    And here’s confirmation that the felt is synthetic (as redundant as it may seem for me to clarify).

    This is great news for me because Dingwall was my backup plan in case Ibanez was to not work out, and since Ibanez has zero vegan instruments and I was planning on getting a custom if I were to do Dingwall anyway, it seems that I have a winner.

    They love to tokenize POC, and they also try to conveniently forget that vegan POC exist.

    I talked to a carnist who told me that “for vegans to say that eating animals is wrong is to say that ALL Indigenous people are doing something morally wrong, so vegans are inherently anti-Indigenous.” Notice how I emphasized the word “all” because this carnist actually used the word “all,” signaling that they believe that Indigenous vegans do not exist. An Indigenous vegan friend of mine proceeded to respond with how they find that to be the truly disgustingly anti-Indigenous thing to say, but they just neglect that and accuse us vegans of color as being “tokens” for white vegans and “enablers of white supremacy.”

    I had a similar experience when I, a black vegan, agreed with a white vegan on the use of the term “animal slavery.”
