SOLD. FS or FT. Dingwall D-Roc 4 string in blue / purple flip. Immaculate condition with deluxe soft case. £1100 Bidston, Wirral

[vinorange]

Up for sale is my Dingwall D-Roc 4 string in purple / blue flip matt finish. Would take a trade, preferably 4 strings, passive, P or J but I’d need a chunk of cash my way (due to incoming Rick 4001).
 

It’s in immaculate condition and is a great unique sounding, looking and playing bass. It’s just I’ve bought a 1980 (the year I started playing) Jetglo Rick so something has to give.

It has a super lightweight mahogany body with maple neck and pau ferro fingerboard. String spacing is 19mm and nut width is 42mm. E string scale is 36.25”  giving a very piano-eesque open E and the G is 34”. It’s strung with brand new Dingwall steel round wounds and plays with no issues at all. Hardware is Hipshot nickel finish.

It’s passive so controls are volume, 4 position rotary pickup selector and passive tone. It’s equipped with 3 custom Dingwall pickups and the selector gives position 1 - Bridge solo, position 2 - Bridge/Middle (Parallel), position 3 - Middle and Position 4 - Bridge/Middle/Neck. My favourite sound is the middle pickup solo which actually sounds like an excited P bass. The tones from the 3 pickups range from a strangely convincing MM stingray to jazz and P bass tones.

All in all a wonderful bass,  very versatile and not half as tricky as you’d think to get used to. Oh yeah and an open E to die for and another thing; the fretted A on the E has similar clarity to the open A which I guess is down to the longer scale. Very clever stuff.....

Based on the Wirral but can ship, deliver or meet up within 50 miles or so.

Borrowed pictures from @Black Coffee from whom I bought it until we get some daylight and I take some of my own,

Thanks for looking.
