I want another Dingwall! There, I said it. I need to get a bass together for some serious drop tuning and I can't at this time look at my usual custom build. So, I am putting up my Ibanez GVB for sale, but I need to make very clear what I am offering and why the price is a bit on the low side! The bass, as you'll see in the pictures below originally had this spec: [attachment=174117:Screenshot 2014-10-19 12.24.57.png] I then upgraded the pickups and electronics to Delano Soapbars which sounded great, but not really my thing. I installed an East SP preamp too which is just a superb piece of kit. I still managed to keep it completely stock looking like the above. This is just an image I grabbed off the web. So, that's where things changed! I had a plan based on the Dingwall 5/3 models to install three pickups instead of just two. I bought three EMG 40DC pickups and had a local professional luthier rout out the section of wood between the two pickups. The rout is the same height and depth as the Bartolini P2/ Delano pickups that came out and is very neat and tidy. Next up as you'll see in the pictures, to allow me to move the EMG pickups around, a temporary dark wood 'frame' was installed because the EMG pickups are not as tall as the Bart P2's. This frame is completely removable with no damage should that be required. It allowed me to push all three pickups up away from the bridge so that the pickup closest to the bridge had a bit more low end making it more useable on it's own in my opinion. Although the East circuit will be included with the bass for you to do what ever you wish with, the current harness (which I have installed using quick release connectors, like EMG use) is completely removable without any soldering iron work. It is a passive set of switches, a passive tone control and a master volume. The switches allow for all combinations of pickup configuration. So my plan is this: If you are interested in the bass as is, then that's fine. It sounds superb! However, if you'd prefer the bass returned back to stock as much as possible then I will source a pair of P2 sized pickups, come up with a preamp solution too. (The East circuit I guess!!) Further more I will look at 'filling the gap' between the pickups. I think a good inclusion would be a ramp between the pickups. It won't of course be invisible!! Pictures of my bass as it is at the moment:

Come and collect this weekend! There's something I wanna buy

Hi all! I have a Gotoh Resolite Tuning Key [url="http://www.g-gotoh.com/international/?btp_product=gb350"]http://www.g-gotoh.c...p_product=gb350[/url] for a normal right handed bass (top of headstock type) spare. It is completely unused,[b] BUT!! [/b]it needs a fresh washer to slip in underneath the key top. You can see what it looks like in the pic below. I have therefore dropped the price for the key and will include shipping too at [b]£20[/b] within the Uk. Additional shipping costs may be incurred for over seas. This key is not cosmo black - according to the link above it is black chrome. All washers and black screw included. edit: I've just linked the image too

I'm just clearing out some odds and ends and have found an unused Elite Strings Nickel 130 gauge and a Warwick DarkLord 175 gauge (useful for tuning down to F sharp below B etc - great for G actually) You can have the 130 for £5 to include postage, the Dark Lord is £12 online, so how about £9 to include postage? The packets are a little crumpled, but the strings have been in a clean dry sealed bag. They look fine!

Still available...
