Bigwan Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) I've cut way back on my gigging responsibilities and can't justify having a bass of this caliber, so I'm putting it up for sale/trade. Having said that I'll not be heartbroken if it stays put! Bought 19 months ago used from Bass Direct. Sheldon has got so many things right with his designs. It's a great sounding bass, and a doddle to play. Took virtually no time to get used to the fanned frets. This has the 5A flamed top and black headstock/neckplate options. Nice and light at 8.5lbs. Sounds IMMENSE! Only issue with bass is a slight score/indentation on the back of the neck behind the 1st/2nd fret on the bass side. These pics are the Bass Direct pics of the actual bass but will get something more recent for anyone who shows interest. http://s38.beta.photobucket.com/user/Bigwan2062/library/Dingwall%20AB1 Trade value of £1500 or £1400 cash plus shipping. In trades I'd be interested in: Lakland Skyline 5 (all models considered) Fender Roscoe Beck 5 string Fender road worn precision (50's burst maple) Fender road worn jazz (60's burst rosewood) Fender year of birth '77 p bass Yamaha BB425x or 1025x in sunburst May consider other trades (basses and effects) but would need to see cash my way, and as much as possible! Not interested in amps - have 2 1/2 rigs already. Edited August 6, 2013 by Bigwan
d-basser Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 These basses are amazing, I have the 6 string version and the sound and feel is great. Can also confirm that fanned frets are easy to adapt to.
