    If I remember correctly - there's a Seymour Duncan preamp inside rather than stock one :).

    I saved this bass from CashConverters a few years ago, lovely instrument

    Never had a problem with mine, looks the same distance as other Dingwall models to my eyes.

    I had one of these, and the ONLY reason it went was to get a custom shop ABZ. Would have quite happily kept it for years otherwise.

    Big oof. Good luck with the sale - someone will get an amazing instrument.
  6. Machines started following Ashdown ABM500 EVO II - £100

    Kept as a backup for my RM800 for a while - now too big for my new cab. In reasonable condition, works great except for valve drive circuit which is noisy/scratchy when blended but does function hence low price, could just need a new 12AX7. Collection only, Bromsgrove (M42/M5 junctions).

    That said, i've also many times bought something because I know it was underpriced and I could definitely at least break even. I've always played them for a bit to see if it works for me (with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions), but as I look at the rack, none of them are still here.

    I am late to the party here, but definitely consider myself an opportunistic flipper. My most recent was a Cort A6 listed as faulty for £200. I had it repaired within 30 minutes at home (new pot and switch) and then PX'd for £350 a couple of weeks later. The buyer even said in person it was worth more repaired, but they didn't want the hassle. I felt no guilt here. I have calmed down recently, as the continual carousel is tiring (maybe I could play what I have?!), as well as the market drying up as people are more aware of what things are worth. I also know in the past certain well known shops have acquired stock privately on FB etc.

    They were miserable buggers and the thought of annoying them pleases me greatly, that said - they are probably demised by now.

    I'm free for this also. Interesting I used to live about 200m away from the venue.

    I also had a couple (2017). Could never get on with the neck pickup being so high up though. If the pickups were closer together (eg MTD Super 5) it would have suited me better.
  13. Machines
    Superb basses - I had one for a bit (white) and it was awesome, the Neve preamp is great.
  14. Machines
    Combustions and NGs i've had (a total of 5) were 9-10lb, my D-Roc being just under 10lb. My SP-1 was 9lb. I've picked up some Combustions in shops that were 10+, I think wood variation was the issue here. However my ash ABZ is under 8lb, this headless Effigy I would expect to be the same or even less.

    Canadian. I'd assume an import option may occur in the future but these parts look very bespoke and if it does happen, I'd guess it won't be for at least 2 years.

    I know they've been in development at least 3 years, I think Sheldon really wanted to get the design right - but agree they are a bit late to the party. I also expected a much more different body design to the Afterburner, but it is unmistakably a Dingwall. Not for me (i've just got an ABZ), but would definitely have a crack on one.
