eddking Posted Sunday at 14:10 Posted Sunday at 14:10 (edited) Dingwall Afterburner (AB1) 4 string bass. Made in Canada. Superb condition - plays and sounds excellent. Comes with original Dingwall case. Acquired from Adam Nolly Getgood a year or so ago, it's fantastic bass but I find myself picking up my Fenders when it comes to gigs Any test welcome - can be viewed / tested / collected from Exmouth in Devon. Possible delivery (preferably in-person meet) - I travel to/from London reasonably frequently. --- Potential trade for a good Fender Precision (US or Japan) or a Kubicki (+cash either way).. Feel free to try me with other things but I am trying to thin the collection rather than add to it..! --- Edited 1 hour ago by eddking 2
eddking Posted Monday at 17:48 Author Posted Monday at 17:48 I've been asked what the pre-amp is.. honest answer is.. I don't know! It works and sounds good so I never worried about it... But here are some photos: Chat GPT says (from the images): Who likely built it While Dingwall designed it, these boards were very likely manufactured for Dingwall by Glockenklang or another German OEM — Sheldon has historically collaborated closely with Glockenklang for electronics, but with custom specs. So the most accurate description is: Dingwall proprietary 3-pickup active buffer / preamp (Rev 1, 2014) Why this matters This preamp is: ✔ Period-correct ✔ Stock for 3-pickup AB1s of that era ✔ Highly regarded for transparency ✔ Increasingly hard to replace like-for-like --- Hope that's helpful! - If Chat GPT has got it completely wrong (which is very possible!) and you know what it is please let me know! Any other questions please drop me a line!
