Great basses, I own the same one. I'm going through a radicalisation of what I own and will be keeping... I'll be keeping this bass and selling basses that cost x3 x4 as much!

I recently bought/traded this bass on BC (hence the stolen pics ) but an even more recent purchase of a Sandberg means I'm unlikely to use this, hence the sale. Make: Fender Model: Dimension Year: 2014 Country manufacture: USA Body: Alder Finish: Rootbeer metallic Neck: Maple with asymmetric profile and Posiflex Graphite rods. Truss rod wheel adjustment. Hand rubbed oil finish. Fingerboard: Maple with bone nut. Nut width 1.625” (41.3mm) Compound radius (9.5” to 14”). Frets: 21 in good condition Pick ups: Fender humbuckers Preamp: 18v preamp with 3EQ (cut & boost on treble/mid/bass)and five way switch (both inner coils and both outer coils on in-between positions). Controls: Vol Bass Mid Treble + 5 way switch Hardware: Fender high mass bridge. Fender F stamped tuners with tapered string shafts and strong arm retainer on the A string. Weight: 9lb 6oz Case: Fender Gig bag Modifications: None Positives: Extremely well set up. Colour/finish is really nice. Read up on asymmetric necks as they aren’t shockingly different but you do wonder why it is as easy to play. The powerful humbuckers giving a wide array of tones and you can go from almost Musicman Stingray to Jazz bass at the flick of a switch. One just sold on ebay for £840 and it isn't as nice (IMHO) as my bass. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284518776940 Negatives: The bass has a number of small marks on it though nothing that could be seen from anything other than close up. There is also a couple of small indentations at the volute at the back of the neck where it meets the headstock, you need to tilt it in lights to see this. No structural, electronics or playability issues. Price: £750 Trades: PLEASE do not message me with bits of kit that I can clearly find on eBay / FB / Internet forums for £200 and tell me it is worth £500, I'm not daft and I know how to search for relative values. Likewise '1 off' custom instruments that you may well have paid £3000 for but sadly the average bassist values at £500, I can't give you £2000. Sorry it is better if I'm just up front about it rather than waste anyone's time. Vintage Warwick basses will always float my boat, likewise unusual esoteric brands. I'm partial to a lightweight bass so anything that you 'estimate' to be over 9lb (and will likely be 10lb+) isn't of interest. https://www.premierguitar.com/fender-dimension-bass-review

They always seem like a good idea but unsure how practical; as it happens I need a pair for Saturday, so I'm likely to go for a pair of local RCF cabs.

That looks stunning and I'm sure the quality will be top draw. However, I'm a dyed in the wool 4 stringer so I can't take this off you.

Your amp appears to have parallel 1/4" outputs which means @lozkerr could hook up an 8ohm cab to each of those outputs and set the switch to 4 ohms. It'd be easy to adapt a pair of speaker leads to go 1/4" > Speakon.

I'm looking for PA cabs and these would be ideal. Sadly courier to the other end of the country wouldn't work out viable.

Bump

I've just bought the 'roadworn' version of this bass and it is SUPERB! I've owned a fair few Fenders over the years and IMHO I think you'd regret going from this to a Fender... but then again that could be someone else's gain!

I've always wanted another one of these (one of my few regrets selling mine) but Brexit and the whole taxes/import/export puts the block on a 2 way trade for me in the UK.

Keep the maple, sell WoT the rosewood... you know it makes sense! LOL
