Dingwall Afterburner 1 in Blackburst, Darkglass preamp (pending). - *SOLD* £2500 Aberdeensire

[Yan_Huriey]

I've had this for a while now, it's a stunningly well made bass, I've loved owning it however I have decided to move away from fan fret basses.

 

It has a Darkglass tone capsule preamp which is astoundingly capable, it also has a passive mode.

 

The bass has been lovingly cared for, and is in very good condition, there are a couple of tiny dings in the laquer which I've tried to capture, but they're very small and to be honest you'll struggle to see them.

 

You're welcome to come and try it, but I live near Aberdeen, so it may be a trek for most of you.  I can however do a video call to demo anything you might wish to see.

 

I'll chuck in some new sets of strings too.

 

Any questions, just ask.

I have played this bass and like it a lot. As Ian says it's got a wide and varied range of tones which surprised me as I'd expected the Darkglass pre to be very "metal voiced". Nope, you could use this anywhere. I would have been very interested in it had I not just got an Overwater and I'm trying to keep control of the numbers (both basses and £ 🤣) GLWTS 👍
