The sheer irony of you looking for a 57 AVRI! 😂

I'd just like to add that I owned this bass before Timweather's son and traded it with him for a Super J. As far as I am aware it is pretty much a stock V1 other than the pickups being wired for serial rather than parallel output, and also the pickups have had the B-booster magnets added to help balance string output and this has worked quite well. The neck has a lovely satin finish, and when we traded it was in pretty good condition other than a few dinks.

[quote name='Timweather' timestamp='1471771852' post='3115664'] This Dingwall Combustion belonged to my son who died earlier this year and I am selling it on behalf of his wife. [/quote] I've very sorry to hear your news. That's not Ben is it, aka colgraff?

I've got one of these as well as two Canadian Dingwalls - these really are pretty smart for the money.

My MV4 is incredible, the ultimate modern-sounding, classic-looking J-style bass. Someone needs to get this.

Love the liquor dispensers.

Here is mine, it's a Mk I, doesn't look dissimilar: https://instagram.com/p/4g6hvfEeAH/

Is this one of the Mk Is with the B&C speakers?

Do you know the weight?

[quote name='MattM' timestamp='1467236009' post='3082239'] Non nitro lacquer would be a standard polyester or polyurethane lacquer, which are the modern equivalents of nitro-cellulose. This would be the default for most modern instruments. Polyester is harder, glossier than nitrocellulose and is synthetically made, whereas nitrocellulose is naturally derived, and is more compatible with the wood itself, wood being comprised of cellulose-type fibres. Nitrocellulose is also softer and flakes/ages more quickly hence the relic effect, and why most people who try to relic a polyester finish fail, end up stripping it off and applying a nitro finish to relic. The inherent compatibility of nitrocellulose with wood is where you get the 'it lets the wood breathe' thing from. YMMV. Hope this helps. [/quote] So basically the same finish as everything else? Not sure why they would advertise it specifically as lacquer then! Not a put down at all, I love the Fender Japan stuff, just genuinely curious. And somewhat interested...

What exactly is a non-nitro lacquer?

Says you've deleted the photo

I have one of these alongside half a dozen Mono bags. If this was closer to me I would already be PM-ing you...

Brand new (in box) Harley Benton Deko ukulele bass. Traveller-sized, spruce top, mahogany body, carved back, mahogany neck, C-shape, rosewood fingerboard, DOT-inlays, 20 frets, scale 534 mm, nut width 42,0 mm, rosewood bridge, black open gear tuners, Fishman Kula pickup system with built-in tuner, Aquila strings, finish: natural satin As with all Dekos, this one has a small defect in that two of the tuners seem to slip. This may be easily fixable by someone mechanically-minded who knows how to take the open-backed tuners apart and put them back together. Fortunately with the rubber strings there are ways around this. With that in mind, it's probably better for someone who wants a fun instrument to noodle at home vs gigging. Photos of the actual instrument: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kghn6e6ctjzx7cb/AAB5HRj1hlHILePzpw3Nruj6a?dl=0 As a point of comparison, I believe a new Kala U-bass will cost about 10x this. Collection only from London SE3 area, since shipping seems silly for an instrument of this value. Open to interesting trades and reasonable offers.

90s Japanese Yamahas are superb. My TRB6 was my first bass and the build quality is incredible.

Lovely cabs these, and Jay is a proper seller.
