therealting Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hope this is ok to post here, am really gutted about losing this one. Please spread the word and look out for my unique Dingwall Super J5 bass guitar (pictured on the right) which was stolen today. I arrived home to find out that my house had been burgled while I was at work. This has been one of my biggest nightmares, particularly as I have indoor cats and have always been terrified that they’d escape and get lost or run over, but despite the door being kicked in and open they were still around. This is more important than anything else, so I consider myself very fortunate indeed. All 12+ of my watches were taken too, but this bass (the one on the right in the first photo) is the thing I’d really like back. The key distinguishing features are the fanned frets, the brown pearloid pickguard, white pearloid block inlays on the fingerboard, a Sadowsky preamp, Luminlay side dots and a plexiglass ramp between the pickups. There is a Hipshot D-Tuner on the low B string with a double-stop lever, and the back of the headstock has been signed by Sheldon Dingwall of @dingwallguitars. This instrument has huge sentimental value to me - I saved up for a long time to buy it, and went on to save up for its twin Super P5. I would be prepared to offer a £300 cash reward - no questions asked - split between those responsible for its return, or donated to a charity of your choice. My thanks to the gentlemen from the police (who said several homes on my road got targeted) who helped secure my door until I can get it sorted out. Thanks for sharing this - really, really hope I get this bass back! @sadowskyguitars #dingwall #bass #guitar #stolen https://instagram.com/p/Bqu8HSAHaW3/ 1 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Sorry to hear that, must be a horrible feeling. Let me know the details of the watches too, I may be able to help with that. Will your home insurance cover the (financial) loss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flippyfloop Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 People that burgle are just the lowest form of scum. Happened to me a fair few years back. Felt awful knowing they'd been into my home as well. Hope you get it back and start to heal soon. Best wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshy Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Shared it on Facebook mate so up here in the North East. Awful thing to happen and hopefully being a fairly rare beast it will surface and you’ll get it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Thanks guys, I’m in London SE3. Also realised that my Godin Multiac Nylon SA is gone (I played the Royal Albert Hall with it), and the beautiful 98 Sadowsky NYC Strat I bought from Roger himself at his workshop a few years ago is missing. Gutted. Here are the Facebook links if anyone would like to share. Very appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulman Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Very sorry to hear this,i had my gear stolen some years ago now,they stole the van so i lost everything,and i know how much it hurts,i do hope you get it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassaussie Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 This sucks. Have a bump. Probably won't help, but truly, my heart goes out to you. I don't condone theft in any form, but there's something particulary sh*tty about stealing instruments from a muso. We battle to get these instruments, they're not cheap, and we make all sorts of compromises to get them, then to have someone treat it like a bloody high end TV or laptop is infuriating.

greyparrot Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 oh my god that is an utter tragedy BUT thank goodness the cats are safe, i think that would have been worse than losing gear...hope you get it all back, be hard to shift that kind of gear ATB R.
