[SOLD] Dingwall Super P4 - Vintage White/Tort (Video Added) £1800 North London

[CameronJ]

The second of my Dingwall Super Ps for sale.

Alder body in a lovely vintage white with tortoiseshell pickguard. The photos don’t quite show the creaminess of the finish! 5 piece Maple neck construction with a dark Wenge fingerboard. Pearloid fingerboard inlays and a pearloid “D” logo headstock inlay. Very snazzy. This bass has all the high-end design features of a Canadian Dingwall but it looks about as classic as classic can get on stage (remember them?)

As far as I can tell, there is only one hairline scratch and one tiny ding in the paintwork, both photographed.

Dingwall’s custom Hipshot multi scale bridge and Hipshot USA tuners, along with Dunlop Dual-Design straplocks which accept normal straps as well as those with the appropriate lock ends. Fitted with the Dingwall Tone Fusion tone control which has a centre detent - anti clockwise of the detent gives you a traditional tone rolloff and clockwise of the detent give you a passive mid cut.

The scale is 34.25 - 32” from E to G. Any normal long scale strings will fit the bass comfortably.

It weighs an almost ridiculous 7lbs 6oz - no, that is not a typo. Seven pounds and six ounces. The original Dingwall Levy’s gig bag is included, along with the original paperwork and tools.

No Trades - unless it’s an incredible 5 string Jazz that will usurp the Xotic XJ I’ve just put a deposit on!
 

Collection-wise, I’m willing to meet anywhere in London, in a well-ventilated/outdoor area with appropriate precautions taken re: masks etc.

I’m also happy to have this delivered via @BigJim’s personal bass courier service. Fully insured and hardcased same day delivery. This is more expensive than a “normal” courier but offers much greater peace of mind with videos and photos taken by him and sent to both parties at each stage of delivery to ensure everyone is happy. No international delivery - sorry!

Just done a little video, added to the original post. Every little helps!

Clips with D’addario EXL Nickel Rounds and a cheeky clip with it strung with TI Flats too.

The main riff I played for the majority of the demo is from “What’s The Use?” by Mac Miller.

The line I played at the end with flatwounds was an approximation of Jamerson’s line on “I’m Still Waiting” by Diana Ross.

Would be nice if it could sell mine...!

I honestly feel like this is the perfect iteration of the p bass. I know folks talk about the Sringray being Leo’s evolution of a p bass but if one were to reimagine the p in a modern context it’d hard to overlook the Dingwall interpretation much like how they did with the TBird. The sound is bang on, the neck feels wonderful and the fanned fret/multi scale makes a lot of sense. I know some question the need on a 4 string but it sets it up perfectly for BEAD. 
It’s in my favour colour too 😬

Absolutely amazing looking bass! 😍 It's a pity I don't have the spare cash! Have a free bump on me.

Now sold! Thanks folks
