Selling this outstanding Dingwall ABZ4 in a stunning black burst finish with the blackened head/heel option and active Glock pre.  Lots of expensive extras on standard spec, Full blurb and Bass Direct spec: 

The new ABZ series from Dingwall brings together the brilliant fan fret technology with a more streamlined build that produces a Canadian hand made bass at a really good price. These basses are ideal if you are using drop tuning enabling tuning down to D or lower because of the 36 1/4" scale on E string gives a tight and punchy note!

Lightweight easy to play, massive array of tones - this bass will take you to a new level of playability and tone. Time after time players are amazed at how easy and intuitive fan frets feel to play - most admit that it is actually easier and more natural., plus you have the benefit of class leading note clarity and punch that will let you be heard in any mix.

I love this bass, but I am so much more comfortable on Warwick 4’s I’m struggling to find a permanent place for this, even though it sounds so much better.  I will get more use out of another Warwick or a 5 so I’m being sensible.

Its in good condition, Lettering fading on neck pickup and couple of small marks on the body that come naturally with use, but overall great and the neck/headstock is pristine.  Comes with original gig bag.

Wow! Didn't see this coming!

Trades of interest Kev?

No, I’m not sure I’m doing the right thing as this thing sounds unbelievable, but I prefer the feel of the Thumb and this is too much bass for a backup.  Mehhhh.

Trades, it would be pretty limited, Warwick SSII, possibly Thumb NT5, or a good solid NT 5 string with a tiny neck (Premium Ibanez or similar).
