I think it's a tone / voicing switch, kinda gives it a flat or vintage thump sound depending on position

4.8KG showing on the bathroom scales!

I posted this 2 years ago and then forgot all about it! I do still have it.. just found it in the back of the cupboard and dusted it off.. Open to offers and trades of all and any description, it's a shame to have it just sitting in it's case!

Sold (traded!) - subject to a late night meeting in a service station car park on the M4! 🤪

I'm on the lookout for a nice standard, passive, Precision - Fender US or Japan ideally but also happy to consider other good quality Precision style basses. Bonus points for natural finish / maple neck! Something of similar value would be great but, a bit of cash either way is fine too 💸

I've been asked what the pre-amp is.. honest answer is.. I don't know! It works and sounds good so I never worried about it... But here are some photos: Chat GPT says (from the images): Who likely built it While Dingwall designed it, these boards were very likely manufactured for Dingwall by Glockenklang or another German OEM — Sheldon has historically collaborated closely with Glockenklang for electronics, but with custom specs. So the most accurate description is: Dingwall proprietary 3-pickup active buffer / preamp (Rev 1, 2014) Why this matters This preamp is: ✔ Period-correct ✔ Stock for 3-pickup AB1s of that era ✔ Highly regarded for transparency ✔ Increasingly hard to replace like-for-like --- Hope that's helpful! - If Chat GPT has got it completely wrong (which is very possible!) and you know what it is please let me know! Any other questions please drop me a line!

"Custom Shop" multi-scale bass. Scale is 37" to 34" - There's a whole thread about this bass HERE with more photos and stuff! This beast was ordered (after a few Christmas drinks..) from a builder on Ali Express around a year ago to give the multi-scale thing a go without investing in a real Dingwall! A custom headstock logo was part of the spec sheet so I went with 'Tesco Value' as this seemed to match my expectation at the time. It arrived after a month or so and is, actually a really playable bass. The build quality is decent and the passive and active electronics work well with no nasty buzzes or hisses and give a wide range of tones. Setup is pretty good and it plays well. Naturally it's not up to the standard of a 'real' one but a great way to give the multi-scale thing a go and see if it works for you - I liked it so much I got a real one! It very much is what it is... suits people with a sense of humour! I've enjoyed owning it and it's always been a bit of a talking point when I've taken it out! Up for sale now for around half the 'landed' cost. You're welcome to try before you buy in Exmouth (Devon). Trade considered against a bass head (I'm looking for something as a backup to my main rig so not too fussy as long as it works!) Any questions, drop me a line!
