SOLD
Hey guys,
Bought this from bass direct about a month or so ago for a new band. The stuff was drop A so thought it'd be worth a shot of 5 string and i'd wanted to try a fanned fret system for ages.
But I'm really not getting used to it at all. Sadly. I think its just the 5 string stuff i'm not bonding with. The fanned fret system is simple to play.
The sound is amazing. I totally love the tone! Really lightweight and just growls in the best way ever!
www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/ABZ5_Midnight_Burst.html this is the actual bass.
Based in Aberdeen. Could courier (sp?) if required but obv would rather it was collected
Here's the bumph from bass direct/dingwall:-
The new ABZ series from Dingwall brings together the brilliant fan fret technology with a more streamlined build that produces a Canadian hand made bass at a really good price.
Lightweight, easy to play, massive array of tones - this bass will take you to a new level of playability and tone.
Time after time players are amazed at how easy and intuitive fan frets feel to play - most admit that it is actually easier and more natural.
