Skinnyman Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Reduced to £1900 In early August last year I bought a trans white Dingwall ABZ 5/3 from Bass Direct. It's a fantastic bass and I love it to pieces. Or I did until I saw the CAR Super P that he'd since got in which is my dream bass - if he'd had that in August, I'd have had it then. So, I'm about to lose a packet but I'm looking to see if there's any interest in the ABZ so that I can get the Super P (curse this GAS) (update: I bought it...) I know that I fall into the more-money-than-sense category but here's a chance to get a virtually new, mint condition Dingwall bass for over £600 off retail. Condition of both the bass and the gig bag are mint - you'd kind of hope so! I have all the tools, strap locks and paperwork as well as the set of stainless steel strings that were taken off and replaced with Payson nickels when I bought it. Weight is a superlight 7lb 14oz and here's a link to the Bass Direct page with the full spec http://www.bassdirec...hite_Wenge.html Things of note are the series/parallel switches, the pickup selection options across the three pickups which give this thing an amazing tonal range. Oh - and the rinky little "reach across" strap button that allows you to have the bass hang further to the right and make it easier to reach the low frets. I'm based in Hertfordshire - happy for anyone to come round and try it out - the kettle's always on. I'd prefer not to post - Dingwall's come with a gig bag and I'm not sure I can readily package this up to survive the tender mercies of ParcelFarce. I can do my best and post within the UK if needed but the buyer will need to arrange the courier and insurance. Depending where you are, pm me and I may be able to deliver for a small contribution towards petrol. Pictures from the original BD advert follow - these are of the actual bass but if you'd like pictures of it sat in my house I'm happy to oblige - just pm me.

Kev Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I don't usually like white, but with the wood grain visible like that it is gorgeous, and wenge is definitely the way to go for Dingwall necks! This is a stunner and a great price for such a spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinnyman Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 This was just a feeler and it looks like there's not a lot of interest, so one last bump before I withdraw the listing. Maybe time to drop hints to the other half for Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I suppose the price will start to look better when the exchange rate changes start to come through on new stock later in the year..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steenaldermanden Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 You mind trading this for a Burgundy Mist Dingwall Super J 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinnyman Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Sorry, I'm not looking for trades, thanks. I've now got my perfect collection of basses and a few that are surplus to requirements and need to be moved on - of which this is the first and nicest. So, no trades I'm afraid but thanks for the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
