SOLD: Dingwall Afterburner 5, natural,

[PTB]

I have my eye on something for sale here so here, reluctantly, is my Dingwall. It's an Afterburner I (AB I) 5 string, made in Canada about 6 years ago, with a natural alder body, a five-piece maple neck and a wenge board.

It is in good condition. There is a ding in the varnish on the back but nothing serious. Between the pick-up's, there are a few scratches in the varnish where the previous (first) owner affixed a Willis ramp with double sided tape. I'll include the ramp for those so inclined.

It has Bartolini p/up's. This model is a passive bass but the previous owner added an EMG BTC pre-amp with stacked bass & treble control. I have added a push/push volume pot to switch between active & passive at the suggestion of Mr Dingwall himself who I had a very nice chat with at Bass Day. The middle control is a 4-way pickup selector (Bridge, both parallel, both series, Neck).

The fanned frets give it a very even sound and feel regardless of which register you play in.

It has recently been set-up with new Dingwall strings and comes with a SKB hardcase, EMG pre-amp instructions, a set of used Dingwall strings, the Dingwall owners manual and colour-coded allen keys.

A new one would be around £1,750 so I think £975 is a keen price.

Really Lovely. It's on my must-have list but pending the sale of my grandmother.

Great looking bass, I would love to try one of these.
Good luck with your sale.

Bump.

I've got the matching one to this with aflame top and I did the same but with a Nordy pre!

Amazing basses and the AB1 is a great bass. People who don't like 5 string basses love these!!!

Someone help this guy out!

Thanks for all the kind words above.

I am adding a picture of the control cavity as requested via a PM.

There's a deal brewing so I'm hoping this may be on its way to a new home very soon......
