I am selling my Dingwall AB1 "Cadbury" bass. Incredible instrument, owned and gigged for over a year, a seemingly permanent switch back to four strings catalyst for sale, needing funds the other!

This bass has a few upgrades. Stunning Candy Purple finish, Wenge neck and aftermarket upgraded with Darkglass Tone Capsule Preamp and Series/Parallel switches by Noiseworks in Coventry to a very high standard (basically the unofficial UK Dingwall tech). This bass does it all, it is a superb instrument. In great condition, few surface scratches here and there and a couple of very small dings, but generally in really good nick.

Specs:

[/list]
[size=4][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][color=#333333]Specific pics available on request, sorry for the quality on these and I have no idea why they are sideways. Take a look online for Candy Purple and you will get a better idea of the colour, without reflections![/color][/font][/size]

[font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][color=#333333]Price very fairly for a quick sale. There are not easy to come across, face a long old wait to buy new and you wont get much change from £3k. I'm looking for cash ideally. I will consider trade plus cash, but need at the very least £1k my way. No straight trades, nothing else please. Bass comes with its original toolkit and gig bag.[/color][/font]

Thanks for kind words, all :)

Yeah priced her keen with a view to getting her sold for cash sooner rather than later. Had a couple of trade offers but its really not what I am looking to do here I'm afraid!

My old bass!

This thing is absolutely incredible and i can only imagine its even better with the Darkglass pre, i had the same job done by the same guy who fitted this one on another bass and his work is superb.

If i hadn't made the same switch back to 4's recently i'd be £1700 lighter right now.

Tis indeed, didn't realise you had made the complete switch too! Funny how things are, isn't it 😂

Up for the weekend 🙂

Lots of interest, nothing concrete. You'll be waiting some time to grab one of these new, even Bass Direct are pretty much out of Dingwalls at the moment!

90% of interest so far has been trade offers. Please, I am not looking for a straight trade on this bass as I need to raise money. Any trade would either need to involve significant cash my way, or have a higher value than the Dingwall (so you may as well just sell it yourself and pay cash!).
