  1. You're welcome to try my Dingwall, but it has got 4 knobs and probably 18mm spacing so may not be what you're after at all really
  2. For plebs like me that don't have a smartphone, let alone an iphone could these files be converted to something like a jpeg please?
  3. No idea, but surely it's only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it? Just like our very own F/S section
  4. For those that enjoy self abuse, you can get a whole CD of Stairway covers. Although to my mind the crucial omission is the Dolly Parton rendition...

  5. TTTwith price drop
  6. Thanks for all the offers so far. Not seen 'the one' yet though so please keep them coming.
  7. Wow, there's a name I've not hear for a bit. Thanks for the memories!
  8. Truly beautiful. I've just had one of those moments when I wish I could find some Talent F/S in the Other Musically Related Items section
  9. I've been in contact with him about it, but we remain a little way apart on price and value
  10. I know, gutted tbh . I guess the ideal for me would be a Combustion 4 if such a beastie existed. All the current 4-string Dingwalls are very pricey though and there don't appear to be any 'pre-loved' ones in my price range.
  11. Had a few interesting offers but nothing has quite yet hit the mark. Still available.type bump.
  12. I saw TS supporting Alice Cooper at the MEN arena maybe 5 years ago. Scary; but Dee is good value as a front man though.
  13. Thanks Peter, responded.
  14. [b]F/T (or F/S): Mint condition Dingwall Combustion 5[/b] This is a 2009 model in absolutely immaculate condition with no scratches, dings or missing finish that has been fully cleaned and a new set of Dingwall strings fitted. I have upgraded the pickups to the improved B Booster type as used in the Combustion II costing £150. The original pickups come with the bass too. [b]SPECIFICATIONS:[/b][list] [*]Dingwall made in Canada FD3 pickups - (now upgraded to B Booster pickups) [*]EMG USA BT07 2-band pre-amp, [*]Dingwall USA strings [*]Alder body - 3 tone sunburst [*]Optional Grey Pearloid pickguard (£45 option) [*]Rosewood Fingerboard – 37" - 34" scale [*]Bone nut [*]Banjo frets [*]NOVAX® FANNED-FRET SYSTEM [*]Five piece maple neck [*]Controls - Volume, Volume, Treble, Bass [*]Weight 3.9kg/8lb 10oz [/list] The bass comes with a decent quality padded gig bag. I acquired the bass firstly to ‘scratch an itch’ regarding the fanned fret system (of which I am now a complete convert ), and secondly to try my hand at a 5-string (rather less successful ). The bass is now for trade for something with 4 strings (or for outright sale). As for trade options it’s probably easier to set a few ground rules and then see what turns up:[list] [*]Must be a 4-string please [*]Much prefer a natural finish or a burst [*]Nothing too heavy, up to about 9lbs or so max [*]Fretted or fretless [/list] Cash either way is fine although I would probably prefer to trade up rather than down. Thanks for looking and here are the pics. [attachment=158342:Dingwall Combustion 5 02.jpg]
  15. That's a real shame, it's plain to see that you have invested significant time and energy in the band and I hope (meaning feel sure that you will) find a new project quickly. The music is not my personal cup of tea I'm afraid, but I can see that the band deserve a decent following. If I'd been closer I would be there to support. Best wishes to you all.
  16. The search continues. The Chromes were too heavy / stiff for my liking. If only the TI365s came with a sensible gauge B string...
  17. [quote name='lonestar' timestamp='1395234100' post='2399982'] As tubeway army may have said: Are trends eclectic? [/quote] Just accidentally snorted hot coffee. Not recommended fellow BCers, too many Health & Safety Issues; plus it ****** stings a bit too.
  18. +1 for MBL On the downside, I found out last week just how close by workplace is to Johnny Roadhouse. Damn!

    Moffat Bass Bash 7

    Great weekend, enjoyed every minute. Good to meet new people and renew friendships. Thanks to all involved in organising the event.
  20. For sale a very lightly used D'Addario Chromes, gauges are 45/60/80/105. These were bought as single strings to get the more balanced tension that I prefer. The strings spent approx. 4 days on a bass with a 3 over 1 tuning peg arrangement and a 34" scale length. [size=4]The string lengths are (from G to E): 42"/44"/43"/42".[/size] Thanks for looking.

    NBD - Funny frets

    [quote name='bagsieblue' timestamp='1394914378' post='2396713'] Crikey - didn't see that coming Mr EAD. [/quote] Me neither really, kinda snuck up on me.
  22. Talked myself into believing one of these Dingwall basses would be a great idea. It's a 2009 Combustion 5 in absolutely immaculate condition (from Mark at Bass Direct). So here goes... First impressions: Well put together; not too tricky to adapt to bearing in mind I have minimal 5 string experience as well; the neck feels great, very slim top to bottom a bit like somebody has stretched a Jazz neck sideways; the longer scale strings have a much bassier tone to them, just acquired some super long Chromes that i'm going to fit. If it's a keeper then I'm going to do something interesting with a new preamp too. [attachment=157610:Dingwall Combustion 5 02.jpg]
