JANUARY SALE - NOW ONLY £1700. GRAB YOURSELF A CANADIAN MADE DINGWALL FOR HALF THE PRICE OF A NEW ONE. YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE!

 

After some soul searching, I'm looking to move on my 2 pickup ABZ 5 I got from bass direct in 2014.

 

Swamp ash body, Wenge neck and fingerboard, weight 4.3 Kg, comes with Dingwall Levy's padded gig bag and Allen key set.

 

I've also had a 3 band Glockenklang preamp (see here https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Glockenklang_preamps.html) professionally fitted by KGB music in Birkenhead. For clarity, as I been asked about this a few times, this does not have the series/parallel option that the original fully passive configuration had, but personally I find the ability to pan between the pickups gives it far more tonal scope. The preamp is very neutral, with no noticeable colouration when the EQ is set to flat when compared to passive mode. The original wiring loom also comes with the bass. 

 

Much as I love the sound and feel of it, I've decided to move back to all standard scale basses for now. It's been treated well and the condition is pretty spot on apart from a couple of minor dinges on the lower edge of the body. I've attached a few pictures I took a couple of years ago and some more recent close ups. 

 

I would much prefer to sell locally if possible and am willing to meet up somewhere within an hour or two drive of Wirral, although I am prepared to ship within the UK to a trusted Basschatter at the buyer's expense. Also possibly open to trades for a similar quality 34" lightweight 5er.

 

******************************************WILL NOT SHIP OUTSIDE OF THE UK - PLEASE DON'T ASK  AS YOU WILL BE IGNORED********************************************

 

Cheers,
Neil

I can’t believe this hasn’t gone. It’s cheaper than a Chinese NG and the wood grain is nicer than mine and it has a preamp. The one downside (not being able to see where the controls are at) has been fixed by colouring in the dots. These are sooo good and I had to make no adjustments to get playing with fanned frets. If I didn’t have one already this would be long gone :)

Back in the day they used to write what pickups on the little plastic bag that the tools came in or on the card inside that if you have it??

They fitted various. Just wondered as I am quite interested in the bass...

It doesn't say unfortunately. All it say is this...
