There's another thread somewhere where I've finally admitted my addiction 😁

SOLD PENDING THE USUAL I have two Dingwall basses and only have room for one so this one has to go. I have previously listed this but withdrew it as I had interest from outside of BC. That fell through and so here it is again.... It was bought new from Bass Direct in August 2016 and has the following features; 5 String Bass 34" - 37" •Dingwall passive controls, volume, pickup selector (see below), tone. •1. bridge pickup soloed. (in parallel) •2. Bridge and middle in series with each other. •3. Neck (series) in parallel with bridge (parallel) similar to a PJ •4. Neck (series) P-like without being a P clone 3 pickups •3 x series/parallel switches •Two piece swamp ash body •Trans White •Optional rear strap button - £40 (allows to bass to hang 4 - 5 inches over to your right) •Optional Wenge Neck •Banjo frets •Novax® Fanned -Fret System™ •Manufactured in Canada Weighs an anorexic 8lbs Condition is immaculate and the bass comes with the original Dingwall (Levys) gig bag and all of the associated allen keys, strap locks, etc. Price: £1600 or near offer (collected - see below). Trades: I'm trying to reduce the size of the herd so there's not a lot I'm interested in beyond maybe a Barefaced Super Midget or a couple of One10s (and some cash). But try me and see... Delivery - I would prefer not to ship this. In any event, I will not, under any circumstances, ship it outside the UK. Sorry - but I've had too many hassles in the past and I'm just not prepared to go through it again. If you're in the UK and if you're a long-standing and active member of BC with a decent amount of (positive) feedback then please PM me and we'll discuss options/ costs. I realise that South Humberside is a long way from civilisation so I'm prepared to put this in the car and drive quite a distance to meet up - again, please PM me for details. Otherwise, the kettle's always on and you're welcome to come and give the bass a good try out on your own rig or on mine. Thanks for looking Dave

Edit: Offer made and in negotiations. Now £120 each. Asothers have pointed out, my addiction has reached epidemic proportions and I must thin the herd. So, here we have two of the highly-regarded SGC Nanyo SB310 basses. First up, the red one.... I bought this in 2014 from BC member basskit_case who had in turn bought it from bassbiscuits. The bass itself is in pretty good condition for a 30-odd year old - a nice translucent red that just allows the wood grain to peep through. There's a small ding on the back of the lower horn which looks to have been coloured in with touch-up paint - its not noticeable from a distance. The pickups are the original SGC pickups. The original wiring was getting quite tired and I started to get a few issues with buzzing and cutting out so I tidied it up and replaced the pre-amp with.....er, something else. I can't remember which preamp I got but I suspect it was the most reasonably-priced I could find on Amazon that had decent reviews. It works fine and the bass sounds rich and full especially with the flats I have it strung with. The serial number is very faded and needs someone with better eyesight than mine to decipher it but it begins with an 8 and ends with a 3. Or maybe a 2. I dunno. There's been a lot of positive stuff written about these little basses and deservedly so. They're light, well put together and sound lovely. For this one, I'm asking; £120 (collected). Next up is the black one..... I spotted this on eBay three or four years ago. It was a complete shed cosmetically but under the covers I reckoned there was a decent bass hiding and it was worth getting as a project bass. I've cleaned it up, put new strings on and, most importantly, fitted Entwistle Neo pickups. I also removed the preamp and converted this to passive spec (which I guess makes it an SB301 now?). I added new volume and tone pots (the knobs are Neck Volume, Bridge Volume and Tone) and this left me with a hole in the front of the bass which, after some head scratching, I used to hold a second, front-mounted jack socket. So, you can plug in at the side or, jazz-style, at the front. I've also added a Roland GK-2B Midi Pickup which I used with the GR-55 guitar synth. Structurally, the bass is superb, the neck is lovely and the Entwistle pickups are brilliant. Cosmetically, there's some minor cracking in the lacquer but nothing too serious. I'm asking £120 collected which I think is reasonable if only for the Entwistles and GK-2B. So that's £150 each or £275 for both together if collected. I will post (at cost) within the UK mainland or I can meet within a sensible distance - please PM me to discuss options. I'm not really after trades as the object of the exercise is to cull numbers but if you have something to swap, let me know and I'll consider it Any other questions, please get in touch!
