    I saw this bass at the MBL and had a quick noodle; very lovely. I'm afraid my fretless ACGs are not for sale, but there is on on the ACG website which is absolutely gorgeous - had a quick noodel at the recent Moffat bash. The pics don't do it justice at all. Maybe be worth a chat with Alan, don't know if he does part exs though?

    Love your stuff and have a couple of your CDs. Just tried to do my thing but having trouble with the Paypal option. It maybe the work filters but will try later at home.

    If you decide to split, then I'd like to register an interest in the Sight Reading book please.

    I struggle to see how it would make a discernable difference on a fretted bass when at the end of the day your fingers are putting pressure on a string to jam it onto a fret. I guess you can feel a bit of the board at each side, maybe more so with the narrower gauge strings. But if you play with a light touch then I guess less so. On a fretless I think it does make a difference in feel. FWIW My two fretted basses have acrylic impregnated maple boards. Dead easy to clean if they get a bit grubby. Look nicer than rosewood for me although YMMV

    Thanks for that, technology impaired person here.

    You're welcome to try my Dingwall, but it has got 4 knobs and probably 18mm spacing so may not be what you're after at all really

    For plebs like me that don't have a smartphone, let alone an iphone could these files be converted to something like a jpeg please?

    No idea, but surely it's only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it? Just like our very own F/S section

    For those that enjoy self abuse, you can get a whole CD of Stairway covers. Although to my mind the crucial omission is the Dolly Parton rendition...

    Thanks for all the offers so far. Not seen 'the one' yet though so please keep them coming.

    Wow, there's a name I've not hear for a bit. Thanks for the memories!

    Truly beautiful. I've just had one of those moments when I wish I could find some Talent F/S in the Other Musically Related Items section

    I've been in contact with him about it, but we remain a little way apart on price and value

    I know, gutted tbh . I guess the ideal for me would be a Combustion 4 if such a beastie existed. All the current 4-string Dingwalls are very pricey though and there don't appear to be any 'pre-loved' ones in my price range.

    Had a few interesting offers but nothing has quite yet hit the mark. Still available.type bump.

    I saw TS supporting Alice Cooper at the MEN arena maybe 5 years ago. Scary; but Dee is good value as a front man though.

    Thanks Peter, responded.

    [b]F/T (or F/S): Mint condition Dingwall Combustion 5[/b] This is a 2009 model in absolutely immaculate condition with no scratches, dings or missing finish that has been fully cleaned and a new set of Dingwall strings fitted. I have upgraded the pickups to the improved B Booster type as used in the Combustion II costing £150. The original pickups come with the bass too. [b]SPECIFICATIONS:[/b][list] [*]Dingwall made in Canada FD3 pickups - (now upgraded to B Booster pickups) [*]EMG USA BT07 2-band pre-amp, [*]Dingwall USA strings [*]Alder body - 3 tone sunburst [*]Optional Grey Pearloid pickguard (£45 option) [*]Rosewood Fingerboard – 37" - 34" scale [*]Bone nut [*]Banjo frets [*]NOVAX® FANNED-FRET SYSTEM [*]Five piece maple neck [*]Controls - Volume, Volume, Treble, Bass [*]Weight 3.9kg/8lb 10oz [/list] The bass comes with a decent quality padded gig bag. I acquired the bass firstly to ‘scratch an itch’ regarding the fanned fret system (of which I am now a complete convert ), and secondly to try my hand at a 5-string (rather less successful ). The bass is now for trade for something with 4 strings (or for outright sale). As for trade options it’s probably easier to set a few ground rules and then see what turns up:[list] [*]Must be a 4-string please [*]Much prefer a natural finish or a burst [*]Nothing too heavy, up to about 9lbs or so max [*]Fretted or fretless [/list] Cash either way is fine although I would probably prefer to trade up rather than down. Thanks for looking and here are the pics. [attachment=158342:Dingwall Combustion 5 02.jpg]

    That's a real shame, it's plain to see that you have invested significant time and energy in the band and I hope (meaning feel sure that you will) find a new project quickly. The music is not my personal cup of tea I'm afraid, but I can see that the band deserve a decent following. If I'd been closer I would be there to support. Best wishes to you all.

    The search continues. The Chromes were too heavy / stiff for my liking. If only the TI365s came with a sensible gauge B string...
