  1. Did you still have the Kalium strings? I'll take what you have if so Kev
  2. Perhaps I am biased, but the Alpher single cut design all the way for me

    I have just decided that I cannot let mine go. For £1,100, it is just too good. Seriously, ignore where it is made, this bass is equal to the Canadian Afterburner models - in fact for me due to the pickups and preamp config it is better than the standard afterburners. The only Dingwalls I would consider looking at over this is the AB1 5/3, Z2 and Z3 models, and they all start at some way over double the new cost of this bass. Buy it, you won't regret it.
  4. [quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1446301096' post='2898456'] and I thought my GAS was bad Kev! I think the medical term is Impulse Control Disorder, if you are reading this you probably have it too. Har har de har :twisted: [/quote] Haha!
  5. Passive as indicated in the spec list Something new to me, having never played a passive Warwick before (most Warwicks have active pickups so are never truly passive, despite the active/passive switch!). It really does allow the sound of wood to come out
  6. Very recently purchased off this here parish on a whim, no idea why as I just don't play 4 string instruments anymore! This is a stunning example of a corvette, really wonderful condition with a lovely bubinga body and figured wenge neck, very slim and fast. A wonderful example that has been really well looked after. Has the added bonus of brand new black Warwick hardware. The Just-a nut II still has its side tabs in tact, which Warwick owners will know is quite an achievement! Those who know me know that I have had previously owned over a dozen Warwicks, most being older NT types, and this more than holds its own. Specs: Bass: Corvette Standard 4 string Bass Serial Number: ******98 Year: 1998 Neck Wood: 3 pcs. Wenge Wood with contrasting figures Fingerboard: Wenge Wood Frets: Bronze Warwick Frets Nut: Just a Nut II Tedur Version Neck construction: Bolt-On Body: 2 pcs. Bubinga Surface: Oil Finish Pickups: EMG Passive Dynamic Correction Electronic: Passive Electronics Hardware: Warwick Black Hardware Comes with a padded Fender gig bag and a Levis strap with the strap locks. Pictures: Looking for £450 collected in Leamington Spa or delivered by me at a reasonable distance. Shipping would be extra and can be quoted as required. No trades please. Cheers!
  7. No picture updates worth posting at the moment, however she is not far away from completion now. Ziricote Knobs are carved, Nordstrand/Dingwall hybrid electronics are almost ready to be installed and a few more coats of oil and we are there!
  8. Still available for the moment . Really after cash here folks, and happy to drive to deliver myself, providing you don't live in lands end or John o groats!
  9. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1445910630' post='2895363'] The one that really pisses me off "will travel 25 miles radius for petrol money" If somebody want's to sell Kev, IMO, they need to be willing to show a little compromise AND put a big effort into it. Asking for petrol money (especially in that instance, a fivers worth) is (again IMO) putting a barrier up to the sale. Say I live 70 miles away and want to buy something. If I'm happy to drive 45 miles to meet up, the seller really should be prepared to drive 25 miles at no extra charge, to meet up. Of course people can set whatever terms and charges they wish. But it might be an idea for them to look at it from a potential buyers point of view. I'm hoping wholeheartedly I'm finished buying/trying/selling. To achieve that I will need to STOP LOOKING AT BLOODY PICTURES in the "Basses for sale" [/quote] Completely agree about those kind of distances, and agree that if the buyer is travelling too then there should be no contribution expected. However, if a buyer in Scotland wants me to deliver their bass to them ( I am in Warwickshire) as they don't trust couriers and they don't drive themselves , offering to do so for petrol money is imo perfectly acceptable.
  10. [quote name='krispn' timestamp='1445900656' post='2895302'] You're right its a proper Ding fest on here just now! Super P's and J's and the combustions! I've been on the Combi III all evening the neck is just sublime! [/quote] Like busses, it seems .
  11. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1445880168' post='2895007'] The one that really pisses me off "will travel 25 miles radius for petrol money" [/quote] Out of curiosity, why?
  12. Three Combi's then We are spoiling this lot! Lovely looking bass, this one
  13. What a bizarre thread. There are umpteen reasons why the weight of a bass may be very important to people. For me, I have found a bass's tone to be very much linked with its weight, and as such as a general rule I don't like super lightweight basses, so I tend to go as heavy as my back will allow. I have happily played a 13lb Warwick, and have been disappointed with a 7lb Warwick. I am sure there are others who are like me, and equally I am sure there are others who think the opposite and light basses sound 'better'. I am sure there are people who would also say weight has no impact on tone. And of course, there is the most common reason in that people who have issues with their back simply cannot play basses over 9lb. All quite simple really. For me, there is nothing 'baffling' at all about people asking about the weight of an instrument.
  14. Love these basses Only the fourth I have ever seen for sale, and a fair price too. Interesting about the preamp, I always assumed the push pull was a coil tap ala Dolphin, however if the balance still pans between coils in this mode then that clearly isn't what it does!
  15. Just purchased a bass from Chris. Despite my attempts at trying to get him lost (managed to give him my address wrong!) he found me and the bass is a corker. Cheers!
  16. Need to get out there so looking for a cover band to join. I would list what I know but to be honest I am happy to play most stuff and would be able to learn a set pretty quickly Rock band preferably, leaning towards heavier stuff rather than poppy, but generally I will do anything! Ideally my age group (mid-late twenties), but again, happy to try anything. Will have my own gear, have my own transport and happy to assist others. Shoot me a pm!
  17. Had a few queries about trades: I'm not really looking for one. However, I will consider trades with a good chunk of cash my way. Straight trade, unlikely unless it is something special. Plus cash? Sorry, but cash is the main reason for this sale, in need of it! Cheers.
  18. Dingwall NG 2 for sale in Ferrari Yellow, stunning player and sounds the mutts. Bought brand new from Bass Direct a couple of months back, will have the receipt somewhere. Excellent condition; being super critical the only signs of wear are some impossible to photograph surface marks on the scratch plate and pickup cover. Ab'd this with Canadian dingwalls when purchased, playability and feel is identical, which is amazing for such a well priced instrument. The sound is frankly better than afterburners in my opinion, the pickup positions are killer and the Darkglass Preamp really, really works well. I'm looking for [s]£SOLD[/s], to include a padded Fender Gig Case. Would rather this was collected or meeting in person to deliver this but can consider shipping if required. Great saving off a top bass that is hard to get hold of. I will try and sort some pictures out at some point this evening, but it looks identical to this beauty:
  19. Something is wrong here. It takes about 10 seconds to find out how much a Wal is worth, in the incredibly unlikely event that he would not know how much his own instrument may be worth. Why would he sell it for so cheap, and of course on Gumtree as opposed to Ebay or any other more lasting advertisement? Stolen? I don't know, but in this day and age, and after having been told by someone its true value (which was bang on)...
