Replied.

There may well be delays in my answering questions over the next week as i'll be away. I will be popping in as often as possible though. Cheers Col

What is the actual weight of the cab please?

Interested in guitar gear by any chance? Ive got bass gear for sale and if it does sell soon i'll be after this. Cheers Col

Well, although very close The II is a a bit calmer and has a smoother output than the III. The 3 is more skittish, more presence in the mids and a marginally hotter output. A bit like Ferrari & Lamborghini. They do the same thing very well but in their own way. P-Nut 2 is a more subtle instrument, the III is the younger brother with ADHD. Enough analogies?

[quote name='BassManGraham' timestamp='1397984191' post='2429118'] Sad to see a player forced into early retirement. I would not be comfortable with benefitting for your situation. But if you ever need to part with your Dingwall Z3 I am sure there would be a disorderly queue. Good luck with Sale of your Warwicks & Status. I already have a very nice limited edition FNA Jazzman, otherwise I would be tempted. Cheers [/quote] Cheers Graham, The Dingwall is probably the best bass Ive ever had my hands on so I'm gonna hang on to it for now. I'll give you the first knock if I change my mind, All the best Col

Thanks for the kind words Jon, Ive read your thread and your sentiments rung true with me also. Gigging aint what it used to be and i think thats made my decision a tad easier. Who knows what the future will bring though, theres still plenty one can do with bass without having to gig so it aint the end of the world. Cheers and good luck. Col

Just buy it man, you know you want to!!

Which one do you prefer Markus?

Muchos grasias guys. The empathy from the community is palpable. It could be worse, at least I can still play. I'm gonna use the time to brush up on technique and theory which Ive allowed to get a tad sloppy. Just think, no lugging up fire escapes, no more negotiating the gear out of a venue through drunken revellers into a cold wet night for a few hours drive and reverse the process lol. Nearly convinced myself there ha ha

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1397689409' post='2426613'] Don't do it Col, who cares if they only get played at home? [/quote] Thanks Lenny, much appreciated @ Graham. I think these basses need to be played, sitting around waiting for the odd knock is not what they were built for. I feel it would be a waste of good wood. Any buyer will understand my reasoning. Believe me though when I say I'm xxxxxxx gutted!!!!!

[quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1397653066' post='2426069'] Glad to read that you're hanging onto at least one of your basses! [/quote] Yet another big thanks folks. I've worked very hard with my whole med team, I've had at least 5 yrs more than I was supposed to have ( gigging that is) I even hired a roadie but enough is enough now. Thanks for the positive vibes though. The way things are so far Ill have no choice but keep them earning their keep ;-) No big bites yet! Cheers folks Col

Those a very kind sentiments folks. Much appreciated. Now get your credit cards out and make that bank transfer :-)

Cheers folks, A tough decision but if i get a health miracle then i'll be able to go on a buying spree again :-) If these sell.

Negotiations about to begin. Still taking offers

[quote name='bassman344' timestamp='1397643634' post='2425911'] Is that the Z3 in your signature thumbnail? I'd love a Z3 but I'm gonna have to wait until kids aren't needing daily handouts. I was just about to pull the trigger on a super j and the funds got rerouted for something else. It's a no brainier really, happy kids or a bass for me. But it's always ahead of me so time will reward the patient. [/quote] It certainly is my Z3 and a wonderful bass she is. Much like yourself Ive dreamt of getting one and lets just say ive been lucky. She isnt for sale and doubtful she ever will be.....stunning

Im retiring due to poor health, the old ticker is just not up to it despite only being 41! Genetic glitches are a right pain. I'm holding back a very nice Dingwall Z3 to keep me happy at home, just need to get rid of the rig too. Happy days eh?? Lol

Feeling flush? Buy the 2 Warwicks and i'll throw in an immaculate Mono M80 Dual bass case! Thats a bonus i'd say

Such is life Scott but they wont be used anymore so its time for others to enjoy them. Took a lot of effort to get them but if they go to good homes, ill be happy ish....
