JonnyM Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) This is just a feeler right now, for my Dingwall ABII, which was a "show bass" for Winter NAMM 2008. Specs: Scale length: 37" - 34" Aguilar OBP-1 18volt electronics, (switchable passive/active) Body wood: Walnut Top wood: Bear Claw Quilted Maple with Bubinga contrast layer (aka the X-Top Package) Neck wood: 5-piece Bubinga High Gloss body finish Weight: 8lbs 12oz (3.97kg) Comes with a Levys-design Dingwall gigbag and a Hipshot Xtender on the B-string (I regularly de-tune it to an A...awesome!), full set of Dingwall tools. The battery cover on the back is signed by Michael Manring which you may consider to be good or bad... I could go one about the even string tension, monster sound, but... suffice to say, this is cracking bass and I'm teetering on the edge of selling/not selling... The pics don't do it justice Price: £2100, pref. collection from London[b] *SOLD* [/b] (The [b]only[/b] trades I might be interested in: another Dingwall - an SJ5 or Z1 Black&Maple...)

purpleblob Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 I really need to stop hanging around in the For Sale section. I simply don't have enough money to pay for all the beautiful instruments I've seen lately and this is a real beauty. Good luck with the sale (if it becomes more than a feeler). Just lovely.
xgsjx Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 I had a shot of one of these (& a few other Dingwalls) back in late 06 & they're a dream to play. Fanned frets take about 10 mins to get used to. Wish I had the moolah.
lozbass Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 Very lovely indeed - I've never really fancied the fanned-fret system but everybody who tries it seems to become a convert very rapidly. This has to be the nicest Dingwall I've seen
fingerz Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 Nice. Those fan frets look interesting, more and more around... I had a bass with Dingwall pups in it, and if they're anything to go by, this bass will sound bloody fantastic! Bumps are on me!

Have added trades to the OP: Dingwalls only though... Edited July 8, 2010 by JonnyM
waynepunkdude Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Not a fan but you can't mistake that kind of quality.
