Total Watts

  1. If I had the space I flipping would, but I simply don’t have any room. GLWTS
  2. Goes without saying that anyone wanting to try it out would be welcome to come along and spend some time with it at mine in London SE14. Also, I'll be travelling here and there over the next few weeks, even going along the M4 corridor in weekend after next so if you want to meet up it could be an option.
  3. I got this in November 2021 and it's been my go-to bass ever since. I love the thing so much I've ordered a Canadian ABZ and so I won't be needing mine any more. It's in excellent condition, even signed by Sheldon on the back of the headstock when he visited GuitarGuitar a couple of years ago. The only mods are I had a custom scratchplate made up and I replaced the knobs - all the originals will be provided. I'm not in a huge hurry to sell as it'd mean being without a Dingwall until my new one arrives (sad face) but I'm putting it up here in case anyone is going to be around London and would like to pick it up over the next few weeks. I'm really not interested in posting it. If I don't sell it here by the time the new one arrives I'll put it on with The Bass Gallery and they can sort out the courier - it'll cost a lot more, of course, and I'll get less but I'm not taking risks with something of this kind of value! Any questions let me know. I'll add more pics in the coming days. In case you want specs, it's basically the vintage burst finish of this: https://www.andertons.co.uk/dingwall-combustion-3-5-string-bass-quilted-top-in-ultra-violet/
  4. That's a really sweet looking bass. Personally, I'm much more into the subtle aesthetic than sexy tops, so to me that looks absolutely the business.
  5. Don’t have the money, the space or any use for this bass but damn I want it!!! GLWTS…
  6. Must admit, this is tempting… just trying to work out where Radlett is!
  7. I had one of these cabs- what it can do is incredible but was complete and utter overkill for my needs. Very clean and HiFi. Light too. GLWTS
  8. From what Mark said it’s a very musical preamp and it features a passive tone so sounded more up my street than the Glockenklang which he said was really HiFi.
  9. Cheers. I’d love to try one if the older models, get a feel for the evolution of the design.
  10. Honestly if you have a bass to that spec you want to sell please don’t say. You will really make me regret spending all that money and I’ll not enjoy my new bass so please just keep it to yourself. Cheers.
  11. I have one. They are just epic little boxes that chuck out proper stage level sound that you can take on public transport. Unbelievable. GLWTS
  12. MAJOR UPDATE!!!! Just got an email from Ashley at Bass Direct, they've got a free slot coming up now so I could be getting the bass within two months. COULD BE NBD BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!!!
  13. Update. Deposit paid. Now I've got a year to cobble the rest together!!!!
  14. This all makes TOTAL sense. I'm looking for an ABZ because I've been so impressed with the Combustion but want better. I actually don't like the flamed top, I love the pickup selection, I love the tone, I would like better hardware and a preamp with passive tone control. It's also that I've played my bass most days since I got it and have met and really liked Sheldon so. I understand why you didn't go with them in the end but this is something I've thought long and hard about. This is the build I've agreed with Bass Direct Model: AZ - ABZ Pickup Configuration: 3 - 3x pickups Number of Strings: 5 £2950 Body Wood: S - Swamp Ash Contrast Layer: O - No (Standard) Top Wood: O - No (Standard) Pre Bleach: O - No (Standard) Top Color: NAN - Natural Back Colour: NAN - Natural Finish: Hardcoat Satin Pickguard: OO - None Pickup Type: FDV (Alnico - Standard) Electronics: RND - Neve - £455 Neck: RA - Roasted Ash - £510 Fingerboard: M - Maple - £190 Inlay Style: D12 - Dots with 12 Fret D - £75 Inlay Material: K - Black Pearloid Side Dots: K - Black Pearloid Headstock: O - Non Matching Tuning: O - Standard Hardware: K - Black (AB, Z, Super J and P) Total: £4180
  15. Really appreciate your taking the time to share this. I spoke to Mark at Bass Direct yesterday and I’m pretty sure what I want. Just a couple of small details to confirm. I’ll share the spec once I’ve got it confirmed.
