Don't worry, just found some at Bass Direct...

Yes indeed - all the bits came from Bass Direct.

My first (and definitely NOT my last!) Dingwall. An NG3-5 with upgraded Hipshot USA tuners, bridge units and Dingwall knobs.

This bass has effectively changed my life. I've never dug 5 strings until now and it's made my poor Status, Fender & Music Man basses redundant.

Very cool!  That scratch plate though- looks a bit newer.  Are you thinking of changing it?

It's quite aged looking but yes, I'm thinking a nice brown tort plate would look good.

Sweet. I have a low 4-digit serial number ESP which I narrowed down to being from late '83-early '84. While that doesn't have a serial, the ESP stamp on the neck plate is the same as mine so I'd think it's from that era, if not a little earlier. They changed the neck plate stamp in the mid-80's. I hope it plays and sounds as good as it looks.

Thanks Doc!! That's great info!

oooh very nice where did you find that? 

If you look online you can find the  70-90's catalogues for ESP, mainly focusing on the complete instruments they would have been building. I'd love a Navigator Espionage 

My mate had it in his workshop when I dropped one of my necks off and he happened to mention that it was for sale. You know how that goes!

I've just picked up this bass today and it has more mojo than I know what to do with! It's an ESP stamped 3 piece ash body with an ESP stamped neck, ESP stamped neck plate, vintage BadAss II, vintage Fender stamped tuners and an equally vintage DiMarzio pickup. I'm guessing this was from back in the days when ESP were Electric Sound Products and just made parts, rather than whole instruments.

I used to have an ESP parts catalogue (this would have been in about '87) but I don't know when it was from.

Does anyone else have anything like this? I'd love to see it if you do because it doesn't seem very easy to find any info.

I bought a Warwick FNA from Mark and he's a great guy to deal with. The bass is just outstanding and it was delivered exactly when Mark said it would be and very well packaged. Deal with confidence!
