JellyKnees Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) JANUARY SALE - NOW ONLY £1700. GRAB YOURSELF A CANADIAN MADE DINGWALL FOR HALF THE PRICE OF A NEW ONE. YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE! After some soul searching, I'm looking to move on my 2 pickup ABZ 5 I got from bass direct in 2014. Swamp ash body, Wenge neck and fingerboard, weight 4.3 Kg, comes with Dingwall Levy's padded gig bag and Allen key set. I've also had a 3 band Glockenklang preamp (see here https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Glockenklang_preamps.html) professionally fitted by KGB music in Birkenhead. For clarity, as I been asked about this a few times, this does not have the series/parallel option that the original fully passive configuration had, but personally I find the ability to pan between the pickups gives it far more tonal scope. The preamp is very neutral, with no noticeable colouration when the EQ is set to flat when compared to passive mode. The original wiring loom also comes with the bass. Much as I love the sound and feel of it, I've decided to move back to all standard scale basses for now. It's been treated well and the condition is pretty spot on apart from a couple of minor dinges on the lower edge of the body. I've attached a few pictures I took a couple of years ago and some more recent close ups. I would much prefer to sell locally if possible and am willing to meet up somewhere within an hour or two drive of Wirral, although I am prepared to ship within the UK to a trusted Basschatter at the buyer's expense. Also possibly open to trades for a similar quality 34" lightweight 5er. ******************************************WILL NOT SHIP OUTSIDE OF THE UK - PLEASE DON'T ASK AS YOU WILL BE IGNORED******************************************** Cheers, Neil Edited January 29, 2023 by JellyKnees Description changes, sale offer 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Proper Dingwall for less than a far east one? Shouldn't last long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDC484950 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Mine bought last year is very similar. Love it. Ordering one now would be close to double this price. Absolute bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDC484950 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I can’t believe this hasn’t gone. It’s cheaper than a Chinese NG and the wood grain is nicer than mine and it has a preamp. The one downside (not being able to see where the controls are at) has been fixed by colouring in the dots. These are sooo good and I had to make no adjustments to get playing with fanned frets. If I didn’t have one already this would be long gone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyKnees Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 Thanks man, I guess everyone is tightening their belts at the moment. It's got a such great sound and I'm loathed to sell it but ergonomically is isn't working for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes still available, the pickups are whatever Dingwall were fitting to the ABZs back in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephent Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Back in the day they used to write what pickups on the little plastic bag that the tools came in or on the card inside that if you have it?? They fitted various. Just wondered as I am quite interested in the bass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
