[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1404554961' post='2493656'] Just read the blurb the prices on the extra options on this bass are shocking £45 for a strap button But it is a cracking bass Kev some one will be very happy GLWTS mate [/quote] In Dingwall's defence, it is a strap button recessed into the back of the bass, so not a matter of just one being screwed on [quote name='markbass555' timestamp='1404555823' post='2493670'] four string or 5 string trades? [/quote] Sorry, no trades -
Up for sale I have this lovely Dingwall Afterburner I, born November 2013. 4 string version, alder body with gorgeous satin wenge neck, all passive with a very wide range of tone options available. Also factory fitted with an upgraded neck P-Tone pickup, designed to sound like a traditional P bass tone. It really does sound as good as any Precision bass I have heard when solo’d. Several other upgrades, including the wenge neck, glow in the dark side markers and stunning blackburst finish, put this bass at £2571 new. Have to say, as a Passive bass this completely beat my higher end ABII for tone, largely due to the neck pickup sounding massive being wired in series and having that wonderful tone. All kinds of modern and traditional tones to be had across the pickup selector settings, it is quite impressive for a passive instrument. Specs are as follows: • Dingwall made in Canada FD3-A, MACH II 4 L bridge pickup • Dingwall made in Canada P-Tone neck pickup - £65 option • Dingwall passive controls; volume, pickup selector (Bridge, both parallel, both series, Neck), tone control • D’Addario custom guage strings • Two piece Alder body • Blackburst finish - £80 option • Wenge Fingerboard • Banjo frets • Novax® Fanned -Fret System™ • Wenge neck - satin finish, 34 - 36.25" - £165 option • Lumilay Green side dots - £66 option • Hipshot ultralight tuners (black) • Optional rear strap button - £45 (allows to bass to hang 4 - 5 inches over to your right for easier access to 1st fret) • Custom Dingwall Bridge (Black finish) • Weight - 3.85kgs/8 lb 5oz • Manufactured in Canada Superb instrument, only selling as I moving to a Warwick-only guy once more. Bass will come with it’s Dingwall Gig Case. It is in tip-top condition, a couple of tiny dings but nothing a camera could pick up I’m afraid! Price is [i]very[/i] firm at £1,600 plus shipping, which is a complete bargain, almost £1k cheaper than new for a 7 month old bass. Dingwall don’t make many 4 string Afterburners either! Insured shipping, work on £35 but I will check this when it comes to it. Pickup from Leamington welcome. Trades not considered at this time I'm afraid. Photo’s don’t do the bass justice, it is a lovely transparent finish and the Alder really shimmers through, lovely lovely! Cheers!

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1404549017' post='2493594'] I found the Your Doom to be a disappointment. Couldn't really get a good sound from it, although plenty of people seem to like it! One thing is, I think that whole thing about it being so dynamic is so overblown, I found it made pretty much the same sound no matter how hard I plucked. The Duality had some great sounds in it, but ultimately I was annoyed by the fact it did not have a gain control. I found some of the best sounds from it by turning down the volume on the bass. Neither could shake the Team Awesome Fuzz Machine from its throne! Best bass fuzz of all time if you ask me! [/quote] I think the You're Doom does respond quite well to technique, particularly when muting and playing otherwise clean. I can't really explain why but it just isn't quite what I thought it would be. In a way I wish I would have hung on to my Proton to see how they worked together, but I was very underwhelmed by that pedal too... I tend to run fuzz pedals at 3/4-full gain anyway otherwise I find they don't cut through, so the lack of a gain knob doesn't bother me really. I wish the 'gate' was a little tighter on the left side, but yes turning down the volume on the bass cleans things up. I like how it is a different fuzz sound, not copying this or that. With exception to the Vintage, which just sounded like an average drive pedal to me, I really dig the Darkglass design and direction. I enjoyed my TAFM, but I sold it after I bought, I think, an ARC Green Muff clone, which just made the TAFM sound quite tame and weedy to be honest! Perhaps I may revisit in the future

I have one, good strap, does it's job
-
They're pretty different units, for sure. I don't really intend on keeping both and will move the one I get on with least on. Duality winning at the moment
-
Not a bad parcel to receive on a Friday Had a quick jam through the pair of them; Duality sounds brutal and works well with the B7K. Loads of crazy tones to be had there. You're Doom isn't quite what I expected and I am struggling to get it to do what I want, very early days yet though What are peoples thoughts on these criitters?
-
You already have a W&T, do you? I find they are a bit love or hate, probably why there always seems to be several for sale on here! This is lovely -
DR Lo Riders certainly fit, so I cannot see why not?

Just nipped up to Stafford to meet Alain and do a bit of bass trading. A thoroughly nice chap, regretfully did not have too long to chat as I had a train to catch (running across platforms was involved). Top deal, smiles all around Cheers buddy!

Have to say, I am surprised at the number of positive Jack White comments on here. Maybe I just didn't get it?

f*** me I need to get myself round to Trujillo's gaff, he has a complete fleet of Warwick basses

One more from me... [URL=http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/DSC_1388_zpsre4nzuyt.jpg.html][IMG]http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx59/Bassmankev/DSC_1388_zpsre4nzuyt.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Jack White's band is awful. Truly awful. I can't remember watching a worse act at Glastonbury, had they played together as a band before today?! Just a mess of sound and ideas, even the White Stripe covers were just terrible.

Bump. -
I can't quite remember how they work, but wouldn't a shorter screw help?

Just sold a funky pedal to Pete, smooth as butter. Paid Thursday evening and the pedal is now living with him, quick and easy! Cheers bud!

Without putting much thought into it, I always thought it was just these new digital power amps in comparison with the old. A 200w Trace Elliot is hella loud compared to the modern class D equivalent...

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1403911533' post='2487760'] there a switch to turn it back to normal, or is it mod only? [/quote]

Market is on it's arse, quite frankly! Stunning bass!

Up we go again

Oh dear. That asking price is truly amazing. I'm almost tempted to offer £100 and see if he accepts and it is a silly buy it now price for a reason....but I am scared it could end with me owning it!

SOLD: 3Leaf Proton Limited Edition White and gold, only 25 Made!
Kev replied to Kev's topic in Effects For Sale
Bump, now for cash sale. Sizeable saving over a new one and it wouldn't be white It's mint with box. Looks like this -
The bass that got away, the Vigier Passion. Always fancied one when they were out of my price range; now I have more expensive basses and I still haven't owned one. One day -
Col, CPBass, has (or had) one
