I've owned this rare beast from new, back when you had to wait 3 months for them to be made. Freakish light, huge bottom end and stupidly loud, being capable of delivering the same output as two 8x10's cabs. It needs a decent amp to drive it but nothing crazy. When I used a Darkglass 900w in rehersals I had to switch it into lower power mode if I want to be able to up the gain much. It hasn't been regularly gigged and is in great condition. The sound quality is fantastic, they are pretty special guys at barefaced. The tightness in the low end is remarkable. You will see from the link below you cannot buy these anymore and they don't do anything with 15-inch speakers these days just 10's and 12's. The only signs of ageing are cosmetic and I have tried to capture them in the pictures. The plastic brackets of the handles have faded or been marked, the corner guards have some wear and what the pictures cant pick up is that If you stand in front of it and peer directly down the face of the grill, and the light is just right, you might notice a slight variance in darkness on freshly painted parts that had some light scratching from bloody cymbal stands being lent against it. Drummers! I touched these up with the official barefaced bass touch up kit. There is plenty left and I will include this. The badge looks worn but it's actually that the plastic protector is on still. I'm open to realistic offers but not trades as I'm not in a band anymore. Pick up is preferred. I'm not against meeting halfway by car or posting but it is very expensive. UK postage (48 hr, Royal mail, tracked and signed for) is £87 fully insured, £57 without insurance. Cash or Bank transfer preferred. Paypal only if you pick up the fees. https://barefacedbass.com/product-range/dubster.htm

Fantastic Celinder PJ4 fron Denmark with great original CPIIIA pre amp (with the cool 4dipswitches) and pickups. Very fast ‘Jazz’ neck. Amazing Celinder sound. Some playing wear but technically perfect. Frets > 95%. Very low action possible.

Mr. Davis needs to get his own to use. I'm bloody fed up of him keep coming round using this one.. really got on my last Nerve it has. 😒

She won’t let me buy any more basses, so she’s got to go. I’ll start bidding at a £20 and we can go from there. Might accept trades, would consider some decent Barolo. Cheers

A good well balanced bass with a great variation of tones. It’s served me well through my university years but don’t have a use for it anymore. It even comes with its own fitted case! PM me if interested

Decided to put this up for sale as I've recently bought another lakland, and they're always my go to bass! Plays really well and sounds great. Very punchy. Recently fitted a set of Ernie Ball slinkies 45/100 so still nice and bright! Has some scratches and marks to be expected as it was made in 2008. Collection prefered but can post in a gear4music foam hard case for £50 extra. Trials welcome, not really after trades however a decent home amp like an ampeg/gk or a sansamp or similar may interest me as part trade. Would also be interested a lightweight head ampeg/gk etc as a part ex. Any questions just ask! Thanks, can send more pictures to interested parties

There’s a video somewhere of Gary Willis demonstrating 3 finger technique on this very model. Worth a watch.

Active or passive?

Is she good for metal?

I'm going to wait a few weeks until you drop the price. 😂😂😂😀 GLWTS

I have owned this from new and got it last December. I used it in my tribute band but we rarely gig now and my P bass suits the look better so it been sitting in its case looking rather bored. Ash body, maple neck: the dot markers are actually stickers and can be easily removed if you like, Sandberg 2 band eq with passive option, the treble works as a tone control in passive, 39.5 mm at the neck, lightweight tuners, weight is around the 9 lb mark, Sandberg gig bag included. Fitted with Fender flats. Just in case you can`t see from the photos, the body is an open pore finish like those Fenders from a few years back. The bass is in good condition but there is a mark right at the end of the headstock as you can see in the photo and the black pickgaurd has a bit of swirling that you get on black plastic. You cant see it when looking at the bass normally but you can if you tip it into the light, nothing serious I just like to be upfront about these things.. The two lines on the back are just the grain pattern. .

Great amp @Merton.. Had a couple of Eden rigs in my time and they were superb, especially in the first covers band I was in where we played everything from The Beatles to Bowie to Prince and noughties pop artists.. Brilliant sound straight out of the box, amazingly flexible eq and a lot of that there mythical 'heft' we talk about so much round these parts.. Oh and very portable too! 😊 GLWTS

Have the pups been upgraded? I hear the stock pair weren’t quite pokey enough.

@NickAThanks for the compliments! You are right, this is a 2015 Wal Case...the "original" went to the USA. Yes, and the ACG is another great british (scottish) invention! Here are "Two of a perfect pair":

EDIT. Now sold pending completion. Up for sale is an immaculate Dingwall Super P/J 5 (passive) in a gorgeous Candy Dark Cherry gloss finish (like a wine-coloured version of a Candy Apple Red). This has a number of optional extras including the Wenge Neck, metallic gloss paint, J pickup and pearloid block inlays. It has the fanned fret system but is 2” shorter than the usual Dingwall scale length. This makes it (in my opinion) a lot more “normal” to play as there’s no extra reach to the lower frets. Electronics are Dingwall’s own passive pickups and consist of the standard P pickup plus an additional J pickup at the bridge. The pickup control is a four-way switch between neck only, neck and bridge (serial), neck and bridge (parallel) and bridge only. This gives a massive range of tonal options to choose from. Condition is immaculate. I can’t find a mark anywhere on the bass. It comes with the Dingwall-branded Levy’s gigbag, paperwork and tools - all of which are also in immaculate condition. I’ve shown the pictures that Bass Direct used when they advertised the bass - these are of the actual bass - but I’ll post some more that I took earlier today as soon as I’ve had chance to shrink them down to an acceptable size. Given the condition and scarcity of these, I think I’m asking for a fair price but I am open to (sensible) offers. I’d prefer cash but I’ll consider trades especially if you have a nice, light P-bass. I’m based in Cleethorpes and, given recent experiences with couriers, I won’t ship this so you’re welcome to come and try or I am happy to meet part way so PM me to discuss options. I also come down to London quite regularly so could meet there if that helps. (This obviously means that I won’t ship overseas. I realise that I’m reducing my potential market but I’ve had too many bad experiences with scammers in the past so, sorry, but it’s UK only and collection or delivery in person) Thanks for looking - more pictures to follow later.....
