Hi chaps. Up for sale today is this unbelievably good D roc. I purchased this recently from basschat, I wanted to try out fanned fret. I have to say this thing is frikkin unbelievable! I gave it a full set up and cannot get over how stable it is, the action is so low, and i still think it could go a tiny bit more. It is so easy to play with these banjo frets. The multiscale is also amazing and I adjusted to it instantly. The tone is gorgeous. I can see why the dingwalls are so popular, they have created the easiest playing basses ever made. Previous owner resprayed it in a 3k white. Its not perfect very close up with a few bits of dist in it, but genrally he has done a great job andfrom a foot away it looks fantastic, and way better without the weird scratchplate sticker. Underneath is a tobacco burst, so the option is there to strip it, or relic it. But it looks so good as it is id keep it. I really don't want to part with it, but my quest for an old p bass has got the better of me and just have to get one. Pics are from previous owner with his permission. It comes with the epic dingwall gigbag, but if that's not of interest id do a deal where I keep it and knock some off the bill. Can post for £20.

Up for sale today is my jazz bass, built by dan of dg relics. The bass was built to my spec, with allparts body and neck, sprayed sunburst and then seafoam over the top and then relic'd to look like a bass i saw online. Headstock in matching seafoam, with fender jazz decals that were a custom print job in all gold. Fretboard is ebony to get that old worn look and looks great. It has hipshot ultralite tuners that are aged, aguilar 70s pickups, and a john east preamp. The neck is jazz nut with a fairly thick neck profile, slightly thicker than my 74 jazz. Strung with ti flats by ernie ball. Wilkinson bridge under the cover. It plays well, but could do with a setup, it cost around £1200 to build. Its such a cool bas and barely touched since built, it just doesn't get played now i have my 74 jazz. I really want an old p bass so I would trade for one. Up or down. Photos are from dan himself and shows the build in all its glory.

Thanks @bigthumb, it really is a beauty and a proper professional finish, and now playing much better. If you don't mind a higher action than 2.5-3mm I really don't think you would need to do anything to it. But it deserves the love of someone. I put 3 years into this bass project and would love to see it played by a new owner.

We are all here together to enjoy these beautiful instruments. Would never want to be dishonest about a bass. I do think the neck is fixable, and as it sits now the action could go a bit higher which might sort it out. If I had the time I'd get it looked at, but 2 year old twins and hobbies don't mix.

The truss rod works fine, and at the moment is backed right off, maybe half turn on. I have adjusted the action to about 2.5mm and its playing well with just a hint of buzz but that's the sound you want from a stingray, nice and raspy. There does look to be about .5mm of belly in the neck when I put a straight edge on it. Maybe a fret levelling would be enough.
