SOLD Fender American Deluxe Dimension V HH £900 SOLD £900 Loughborough

[Fettsman]

I've wanted to try a five for ages, an itch I just couldn't scratch. Bought this a month or so back and I've realised that all I'm gaining is a long thumb rest. The sort of music I play is quite easily played on four strings and the confusion upon switching between four and five is hurting my 55 year old brain.

So it's a Fender USA Deluxe Dimension HH five string in natural ash with a rather lovely oiled maple neck. I am very taken with the asymmetrical shape of the neck and found it very comfortable to play after forty years on a four string. The sounds out of it are pretty impressive too, five way switching giving either or both plus both inner or outer coils of the twin humbuckers. Three band 18v active circuit.

4.4 Kg according to my bathroom scales.

Condition wise it's got a few battle scars on the edges of the body (not my doing!) but the neck is pristine. I fitted a new set of D'Addarios when I bought it, you're welcome to the old set of (quite dead, but some folk like that) strings if I haven't chucked them out.

Comes in a slightly scruffy but fully functional G & G/Fender hard case.

I'm just looking for a sale but would be open to swapping for a four string Dimension (HH, USA Deluxe, please) or may be vaguely tempted by Fender Jazz or Musicman four strings.

I'm in Loughborough but get up and down the country a fair bit so a meet could be arranged.

I have always liked the look of these, but never tried one.
Fender never publishes specs you like to know. What is the string spacing at the bridge on this one?
All my basses except my old Steinberger has 3/4" (19 mm) spacing, even my five string basses...

It’s 18mm at the bridge.

Thanks, saves me finding a tape measure!
