You only need one bass....... Nah.... not really!! 😂🤣😂🤣

I much preferred KISS' unplugged performance. It showed that there were real 'songs' and genuine talent behind all the flashbombs and pizzazz....

SOLD!

Price reduced to just £1100 !! No time wasters or low ball offers please.

Me too.... I have interest, but noone making the final bite yet. Fantastic instrument.... and as you say, collectable into the bargain!

Not particularly. I use a good strap.... and the headstock hardware is strong but lightweight.

Just put it on the scales...... nice and lightweight! Weighing in at approx 3.6 kgs / 7.9 Ibs.

Having been a Toy Matinee fan for 15+ years, it's heartening that so many other people are finally discovering their magic. It used to feel like a very special secret..... but it's lovely that it is having a new lease of life. Just a terrible shame that the amazing Kevin Gilbert is no longer around to enjoy it

Not at all..... I found my fingers fell into place naturally and it wasn't a struggle in the slightest!

Cancel it!

And then I owned it..... and now Steve Clark has it! Still in the Basschat family

I'll look forward to hearing from you

SOLD!! I custom ordered this beauty approx 18 months ago from Bass Direct and I love it..... but, honestly, I'm more of a Spector-man (No way!! Whodathunkit??! lol!) so, regrettably, I've decided to move this on to raise funds for another Spector purchase. This is the much better looking production model DBird that was sadly discontinued, due to legal issues with you know who over the TBird shape.... and bound to become a collectable as a result! Overall condition is 9/10 with just a tiny chip on the body edge (see pics below). I have NO idea how this got there! I've literally played it live ONCE and just used it at home for the rest of the time.... oh well. It's minor and not particularly noticeable. The colourflip finish on this is amazing though! It looks more blue in the pictures below.... but as soon as you move it around it quickly flips to a stunning purple colour.... and looks amazing under stage lights! Here's the official spec. However, I'd add that it is MORE THAN capable of more traditional tones.....despite the spiel selling it on its aggressive, mid range, modern bite/tone Body & Neck The body is Khaya, a Mahogany variety with accentuated mid range and a brighter attack. A 5-piece Maple neck coupled with a heavy-duty truss rod further complements the treble response while ensuring maximum hardiness. Dingwall manufacture has long-been exposed to extreme climate conditions, so they know a thing or two about reinforcing necks! A Pau Ferro fingerboard adds a little extra warmth and a smooth feel to boot. Multi-Scale Design A noteworthy feature of the D-Bird Custom is its multi-scale design. With a 36.25" scale on the low E string and a 34" scale on the G, the higher string tension on the lower strings gives the bass more punch and clarity where it matters most. Fanned frets allow for super-accurate intonation across the entire fingerboard, with their slanted placement suiting the natural resting position of your hand. It may look odd at first, but you'd be surprised at how easy it is to adapt to this type of neck! Hardware & Electronics The D-Bird Standard is triple-loaded with FD-3N passive pickups. The key to their punchy tone is the use of Neodymium magnets; higher output means a more aggressive sound. This lines up nicely with the tonewood combination, with plenty of midrange bite that produces a distinctly modern tone. Controls are volume, a 4-way rotary switch offers a surprisingly broad tonal palette and master tone Dingwall also opted for a traditional jack plate with Switchcraft jack connection to ensure maximum reliability. Slick smoky black hardware is used throughout, with Dingwall Combustion tuners and a specially designed bridge with a custom riser system - increased adjustability and sturdiness all in one.

Courier at buyers choice/cost but I would recommend UPS via Interparcel. Happy to ship in the UK.

Please search out my extensive positive feedback thread (link in sig doesn't work) for assurance of a clean, honest transaction. Thanks!

I'm with Buddy..... I feel the same every time I go to the London Bass Show....

If your Tonepump has the little trim control wheel on it (look at the black box inside the electronics cavity), set the trimpot clock to halfway for starters. This will make your overall output much more usable and less likely to distort with more extreme EQ settings on your Tonepump. Enjoy!
