JazzBassfreak Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Took delivery of this today from BassDirect. I can not believe the weight of this, it's the lightest bass I've ever had in my possession. It's 8lbs exactly. Sounds absolutely killer and the neck is lovely. Bubinga top, alder body, wenge fingerboard. Absolute cracker, very happy to add this to my collection!

discreet Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Lovely - I want a Dingwall 5!! What's the B-string like? I've played one or two of GW's Dingwalls and the B strings were very good. Edited June 13, 2014 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Enjoy it mate, I love my ABII, and they are remarkably light. Usually I hate lightweight basses as for tone is too often sacrificed, however Dingers are the exception Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
