Paulhauser Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) FEELER! I'm thinking about selling my Dingwall ABZ5. I've taken a honest look at what this year brings in terms of gigs / recordings and how much time I can put into bass playing in general and I came to a conclusion that I will fare well with my heavily modded Spector and the Ibby sixer, both being longtime favorites of mine. I'm selling the other instruments I have to free up some cash. [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]This Dingwall ABZ5 was originally bought last year at Bass Direct. [/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The bass is stock, no modifications done. It has no scratches, dings or any kind of damage. There are small swirls on the front of the body that are only visible fron an angle and some scratches on the pu housing (very minor) It still has the original strings with still life in them. [/font][/size][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I've used only at my home studio si[/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]nce I bought it a couple of months ago [/font] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]All in all the bass is in a very very good condition, almost as new I'd say. [/font][/size] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Sounds really great and it has a sleek very comfortable design. It is also light and hangs well on the strap.[/font] This was my first ever try of a fanned fret instrument and just as most DW players say, it took me no time getting used to it.
