Up for sale I have this lovely Dingwall Afterburner I, born November 2013.

4 string version, alder body with gorgeous satin wenge neck, all passive with a very wide range of tone options available. Also factory fitted with an upgraded neck P-Tone pickup, designed to sound like a traditional P bass tone. It really does sound as good as any Precision bass I have heard when solo’d. Several other upgrades, including the wenge neck, glow in the dark side markers and stunning blackburst finish, put this bass at £2571 new.

Have to say, as a Passive bass this completely beat my higher end ABII for tone, largely due to the neck pickup sounding massive being wired in series and having that wonderful tone. All kinds of modern and traditional tones to be had across the pickup selector settings, it is quite impressive for a passive instrument.

Specs are as follows:
• Dingwall made in Canada FD3-A, MACH II 4 L bridge pickup
• Dingwall made in Canada P-Tone neck pickup - £65 option
• Dingwall passive controls; volume, pickup selector (Bridge, both parallel, both series, Neck), tone control
• D’Addario custom guage strings
• Two piece Alder body
• Blackburst finish - £80 option
• Wenge Fingerboard
• Banjo frets
• Novax® Fanned -Fret System™
• Wenge neck - satin finish, 34 - 36.25" - £165 option
• Lumilay Green side dots - £66 option
• Hipshot ultralight tuners (black)
• Optional rear strap button - £45 (allows to bass to hang 4 - 5 inches over to your right for easier access to 1st fret)
• Custom Dingwall Bridge (Black finish)
• Weight - 3.85kgs/8 lb 5oz
• Manufactured in Canada

Superb instrument, only selling as I moving to a Warwick-only guy once more.

Bass will come with it’s Dingwall Gig Case. It is in tip-top condition, a couple of tiny dings but nothing a camera could pick up I’m afraid!

Price is [i]very[/i] firm at £1,600 plus shipping, which is a complete bargain, almost £1k cheaper than new for a 7 month old bass. Dingwall don’t make many 4 string Afterburners either! Insured shipping, work on £35 but I will check this when it comes to it. Pickup from Leamington welcome.

Trades not considered at this time I'm afraid.

Photo’s don’t do the bass justice, it is a lovely transparent finish and the Alder really shimmers through, lovely lovely!







Cheers!

Just read the blurb the prices on the extra options on this bass are shocking £45 for a strap button :o But it is a cracking bass Kev some one will be very happy GLWTS mate :)

In Dingwall's defence, it is a strap button recessed into the back of the bass, so not a matter of just one being screwed on ;)

Lots of tempting trade offers, but realistically unless cash is coming my way, or its a Warwick, I'm really after cash here. Listed on eBay too :)

Potentially making a full move back to Warwick-only basses so my top spec ABII could possibly be for sale too shortly...

I only really took her on a whim and it was always unlikely to find a permanent place in my stable. It really is a great bass,though, and is a passive bass lover's dream!

A few photos taken this evening of her. This bass is [i]incredibly [/i]difficult to photograph due to its high gloss finish and blackness and frankly these photos look terrible, but perhaps show it in a slightly more true-to-life light than the Bass Direct images above. Look at my Warwick photos in the bass porn thread, I'm usually a little better with a camera! :(
